Papa John's and Dominoes are two of the worst pizza chains that I know. The only one worse is Pizza Hut.
Never encountered Pizza Express. Off top of head: Pizza Inn, Mellow Mushroom, Marcos, Little Caesars, Cicis, Blaze Pizza, Mod Pizza... / USA: Country of fatties!
I'm only naming the chains I can think of here tbf. There are local pizza places everywhere which are better. Not keen on the Mod Pizza btw
Yeah, if we get pizza we normally go to one of our local places instead of one of those chains. We've got a couple local only places near us. Of the chains, I do like Blaze Pizza... Its a place you go in and there are like 30 or 40 toppings in front of you and you point and select any toppings and how much of each topping you like. Same price no matter how many toppings you pick. (Mod Pizza is same idea actually and a direct competitor). ... I usually end up with an inch thick pizza.
