I Tried Every Fast Food Pizza In America

[@Halolas]

Little Caesars doesn't ship their dough in, they ship in flour and a yeast mix (shipping dough is expensive because it's heavy and has to stay cold) so instead of it being standardized at a distribution center, it's made by an underpaid, likely hungover worker at 6am in store, lol. Source: I've been that underpaid hungover dough shift

Anyone could've told you Little Cesars isn't the best tasting pizza, but I would never disrespect them. On many occasions for just $5 dollars, they saved my life and allowed me to eat for a day when I was flat broke. This was years ago. I'm sure the prices have increased but I guarantee they're still the most affordable by far.

[@tensai_shonen]

It’s $8.99 in my state

[@StriderCZ]

I can't hate on Marco's too much. The one near me pulled an absolute chad move when no other pizza place would. They delivered just outside of their delivery range to my work (that no one else would deliver to for some reason), on a slow holiday, and they turned up with a baller of a pizza for my coworkers and I.

[@Rykojames]

The reason is because they’re contractually obligated to not go outside of their delivery area. And doing so could result be putting the owner in default of their franchisee contract and having the store taken away from them if there are enough repeat violations. They do this because they want to be able to advertise fast service.. and thus limit their delivery areas in order to prevent slow service via having to travel too far away. So you put everyone in that stores job at risk and the owner of the stores livelihood at risk by asking them to do something they aren’t supposed to do. Please have more respect for other people within your society in your future endeavors. Have a nice day

[@timheinrich3752]

During COVID Marcos started doing TONS of deals. 50% off pizzas were pretty much the normal price. They kept it up for a long time, and while the buy one get one or 50% deals aren't the everyday norm anymore, it's still easy to get a really good deal and a significant discount. For the price, they're my favorite pizza place.

[@dragonborn941]

I'd think those people would be better served getting frozen pizza at the grocery store, but whatever.

[@PandorasFolly]

​​@@BitZorg nah. At one point I was on EBT and did the math on frozen pizza vs papa murphy's vs making it myself because I had a grocery store around the corner with a papa murphy's in it They make the dough each morning and fresh slice the veggies and the cheese. With the regular bogos, couplings, 10$ Tuesdays, 30% off coupons, etc, there was no competition on any axis. By weight, value, or taste Papa Murphy's beat everything except making my own from scratch and that could only out price them if I schlepped down to the restaurant supply store and bought 20pound blocks of cheese and a chub of Italian sausage

[@adamk.7177]

OK so that is actually a plus, I can say you have a good argument there.

[@adamk.7177]

@@PandorasFolly I think the part about making your own from scratch is a bit over-dramatized, especially since, if you get the ingredients to make one from scratch, then you have the ingredients for at least 2 if not 3, and that's with a small 9oz bag of cheese. If you aren't picky about toppings and use only the amount of cheese needed, you can make a pizza even today for around $3-4, and that's a whole 15 inch pan pizza. I make pizza all the time.

[@Underwolfy]

As a prior GM for Marco's Pizza, it does make me happy to see them do well. That looked like a textbook PMag. The cheese pie looked good too. They have decent quality ingredients, make the dough in-store every morning, and typically try to follow SOP's and "recipes" fairly closely. Usually makes for a pretty consistently good pizza. However like any other businesses, the ones with bad management will typically consistently make poor product. So for those rushing out to try Marco's rn, keep in mind they're typically a lower-volume store and some locations are plagued with bad management. (However do also try local options as well.) Hopefully your dining experience is a positive one! :)

I was a morning shift leader at Marco's and can confirm everything said here. While I was there it was great, came back two years later and the store had gone way downhill under new management. Apparently right after I left the GM I worked under (who was awesome) left also.

[@ckly]

Marco’s getting the love it deserves!!! I keep telling people it’s the best fast food pizza you can probably get. I worked there and made fresh dough every day. About 3 batches a day. Good experience.

[@plijuh123]

The hard truth about why many people buy fast food pizza and not from local restaurants is that in many if not most places local restaurants are only about as good if not worse than fast food, and they are without exception more expensive. Not everybody gets to live in NYC or an important city like Austin and the options are lacking. I remember decades ago the local pizza was mediocre and when Dominos arrived in our town their phones would be busy all day because their pizza was so much better.

[@LaraFabans]

It's true. The FF also has more consistency than the local places I tried to support.

[@oskar6661]

That and there's a thing called "office meetings", "office parties", "kids birthdays", etc. Cheap pizza is the absolute king of "we need to feed 8-12 people...on $50", etc. It's also one of the few universal foods. I don't know that I've ever met a person who didn't eat or hated pizza. So if you're having a party, a get together, random people stop buy, etc. etc. etc...pizza is often the quickest, easiest, most universal option.

I live in upstate NY and most of the pizza here is trash, there is a very local chain in my area that has pretty good pizza but that’s it Edit: there used to be a bunch of good wood fire brick oven places but COVID killed them from NYs strict lockdowns

[@TerraEpon]

I live in Las Vegas and even here the majority of local places are bland as fuck and can't match up to Blaze, Papa Murphey's or dare I say it even Sbarro's (and WTF was that Sbarro's he was eating? It didn't look like their normal NYC style to me, which is what I'm talking about). Oddly the best pizza in town IMO is inside a casino at a food court. Actually tastes like real NYC pizza, great flavor, great crust, not too sweet sauce.

[@RobertHamilton-j6h]

This makes me feel good about my local Little Caesar's. That manager works her ass off. Cleanest store, the pizza is always right, and if there's a mistake they fix it immediately.

[@Arikdefrasia]

Pizza at home is extremely easy and cheap, though you need to buy a pizza stone for it to work and it takes 24 hours for the dough to be ready to bake.

[@hamias]

Same price? 😂😂😂

[@Arikdefrasia]

@@hamias Well there's the catch; you have to invest in your pizza making to reap the benefits of cheaper pizza at home. Like the two tools you will need are a pizza stone and a pizza peel; then the cost of the ingredients which you're obviously aren't gonna buy in individual portions. So at face value, no, you're gonna spend more on ingredients and tools than you would for a single or two pizzas. But once you have them, I'd say the cost of each pizza comes out to around $4-6 for a large with basic toppings. Then if you want deep dish that's a different story because you'll need a pan for it. It also helps if you have a mixer to make the dough, otherwise you can it by hand, which isn't a financial cost, but it more time and effort which does matter to some people. But to put it simply, yes it is cheaper in the long run but it requires a larger up front cost than ordering a pizza. We learned from @PerfectPizzaatHome videos.

I worked at a Domino’s for a few months. Basically we had 4 doughs, “bread dough” (for parm bites and stuff), small, medium and large. The “New York style” is literally just stretched thinner and with 1/3rd provolone instead of “pizza cheese”. That’s it. A medium dough is stretched to large, large to extra large, etc. meaning that they quite literally charge you extra for less food.
