It's shit, dry ass pizza. Go to LC's and save half your money.

>>19239563
must be pretty bad if you think little ceasars is better. i like papa johns the most, well i did, but now it seems like they suck. this is just talking about the big chains obviously there is better pizza

>>19239560
kek, why didn't i realize thisuntil now

>>19239601
Papa John's has gone to shit since Based Papa left

>>19239560
>>19239622

>>19239626
yeah. it definitely used to be better. like way better. back in late 90's it was fucking amazing.

Marco's is pretty good. It's a better version of Papa John's. I'd recommend getting garlic parm crust

>>19239563
I've passed by Marco's a few times... there is no way little caesars is better. I mean, I don't know but this seems highly unlikely.

...and I just checked images. Well, yeah it does not look great. Damn, only one way to really find out.

>>19239495
its like a shitty dominos

I didn't like it. Not sure what to compare it to.

>>19239495
>compare Marco's to another big chain?
it's better than all the big chain. by a long shot
it's great that you can add multiple crust toppers.
they make regular crust or slightly thinner using a undersized dough and stretching it to size. or you can get a thin and crispy crust.
all three are good.
definitely try it if your on the fence

>>19239495
Marco's used to use real, stringy mozzarella. Last time I got some though, the cheese melted mushy like it was part ricotta :-/

>>19239495
why would you ever walk into a chain? it's always the same shit because they use the worst ingredients they can get away with. nobody at a fast food chain takes pride in their work and it shows

>>19240254
can you fuck off? i dont' care. i knew i'd get you.

>>19240275
enjoy eating shit, DeShaun

>>19240296
enjoy going into threads and instead of answering the question, give people advice they didn't ask for, implying they don't already know things about the subject, because you desperately want to feel good about yourself. enjoy doing that, you fucking shitbag, and enjoy dying alone.

>>19239643
Papa John's and Domino's swapped spots. Domino's used to taste like cardboard.

>>19239495
I don’t mind it but it’s been years since I’ve had it

>>19240431
>>19239643

>>19239601
I work for Papa John's. Could you elaborate on your complaints? What's gotten worse in the last few years or isn't up to par?
Now I will tell you I am just a delivery driver so your feedback will not be heard by anybody who can change anything, but I'm just curious where you think we're fucking up.
I think our stuff is actually pretty good

>>19239626
Really? I feel like it's gotten better since Shaq took over. I still prefer domino's though

>>19240421
If the attempt is to make them feel worse they probably just wrote you off as the kind of person who would seriously consider ordering Marco's.

>enjoy going into threads and instead of answering the question, give people advice they didn't ask for, implying they don't already know things about the subject, because
...they had no answer but desire discussion regardless, and are aware that as long as they can take an insult there is no negative consequence to themselves.

it's pretty good, dough is a bit soft for my tastes tho. sauce isn't too sweet, good toppings, it's better than most chains by default.

>>19240254
1. alot of sitdown places aren't that good unless you live on the east coast or a big metro. where I live in the midwest most places do a bad imitation of chicago homerunin pizza.
2. it is very difficult to make a better pizza at home than even a chain because of the limitations of home ovens and supermarket cheese. even little caesars likely has better cheese then you can buy at a non restaurant supply store.

>>19239495
It sucks ass just like donatos. Any of my north florida niggas know that 5 star pizza is the goat pizza chain

>>19239495
I'd never buy anything from a faggot named marco, he's a deceptive california cunt that wears vans and sketchers and should be beaten up on sight. Simple enough.

>one for me, one for my hooker!

>>19239495
Based on a price:amount:taste:ingredient freshness:consistency ratio

>>19239638
Those 20th century coinslots were built different.

>>19241578
If your grocery store has Boars Head products, ask for a block of their mozz cheese, and shred it yourself. Next best thing next to Grande cheese for pizzas

Marco's is like the standard delivery style like Domino's and Pizza Hut etc. but it's quite a bit better than them.

>>19241355
>I think our stuff is actually pretty good

It's not.

>>19241578
are you saying that this isn't available on the west coast?

>>19242417
That is not good cheese for pizza unless you are cooking at extremely high temps. If you are cooking a NY style or bar style pie, that stuff burns too fast and doesn't melt right.

>>19242423
you just need to let it sit in a strainer for a bit to get rid of the moisture and it will melt fine in any home oven. pre heat at max temp and buy a pizza steel if you want to improve your results

>>19241578
What? You don't want good cheese if you've got a residential oven. You want the shitty low moisture cheese that is readily available at any grocery store.

>>19242423
Even in Neapolitan pizza fresh mozzarella is left out to dry, usually people dry it like tofu.

>Marcos
Best crust of any pizza chain; good pizza overall but pricier than other chains
>Little Caesar
Surprisingly good despite being the cheapest pizza and it reheats very well, but avoid getting any sides or desserts because they're pretty much all terrible and overpriced
>Pizza Hut
Very iffy; might be decent or terrible depending on who happens to be working there
>Dominos
Cheaper than Marcos but almost as good
>Papa Johns
Pretty bland overall, but better than Pizza Hut on average

>>19242362
That's not saying much, what you're saying is that marco's shit is a bit better than shit.

>>19242395
OK but why not?

>>19242868
That's not the proper answer is it?
You're lookng for the negatuve instead of the positive which you will notx0w find.

>>19242892
What are you talking about?
I'm just curious what actual criticisms people have about Papa John's food.
Is it the cheese? Did the crust get worse? Don't like the sauce?
I'm just curious because I work there, and having eaten at all the major chains I would definitely put our stuff above Domino's

>>19242718
>on average
Where are those calculations?
Are they made public or just kept secret for yourself?

>>19242729
It's inherently a shitty style, yeah. But it's still pizza. You know what they say about pizza.

>>19242911
The only thing Papa John's has that's even halfway decent is the crust. The sauce is cloyingly sweet, the cheese has even less pull than a frozen pizza.

>>19242962
Thank you, that's the kind of criticism I'm looking for. It's strange because I find the sauce at Domino's to be the sweet one, and as far as I'm aware we haven't changed our sauce in a long time.
The cheese I kind of agree with you on, because for some reason we use a blend of Mozzarell and Cheddar of all things.

>>19242913
Just means that it's better than bad Pizza Hut but worse than good Pizza Hut.

Marco's seems to be growing pretty rapidly. In my area I see more of their delivery cars than any other place now.

>>19239495
no, because i never had marcos

Decent hot. Bad pepperoni. Shit once cold. Like if Papa John's and Domino's had a baby and was half the quality. Note that I love Papa John's and dislike Dom's. I think jet's is the best pizza chain don't know if that is near you.

Veiled child trafficking thread reported.

>I’m afraid to try a new restaurant
Jesus Christ anon… you people make me sad.

i worked at a Marcos for like 6 months, its alright, but for the price its not really any better than one of the major pizza chains. try puccinis if you have them locally

>>19239495
I've got one right around the corner from me. It's about what you'd expect from a chain pizza place. Pretty mid-tier. I must say though, their standard pepperoni pizza, the "Pepperoni Magnifico" might be the best pepperoni pizza I've had from any chain pizza place.

>>19239638
Wtf! I like Marco's pizza now!

Only real reason to go for Marco's is if you're big into the "old world pepperoni" that curls up into cups

>>19239495
I don't eat chain pizza and neither should anyone else.

>>19246755
Well they're still going to

Marco's near me is great, absolutely delicious. Quickly became my favorite 'za. Honestly, for basic pizzas, I'd say it's better than Mellow Mushroom (and massively cheaper too).
Always got tons of cheese and meat and shit, and cooked properly, not like the undercooked pale shit you get from Papa John's.

Easily the best chain pizza but they're expensive for chain pizzas.

>>19248589
They've all crossed into the realm of "so expensive you might as well spend a little extra for quality"
Unless you abuse the deals and reward points and shit, you're going to be like
>let me get uhhhhh
>medium 2-topping and 6 wings
>THAT'LL BE 36 DOLLARS

>>19242962
the ingredients in the sauce are
>vine-ripened tomatoes, sunflower oil, sugar, salt, garlic, spices, extra virgin olive oil, citric acid

>>19239495
Papa John's used to be my favorite, which it's still really good, but I like Marco's more. I think the ingredients are better. I like supreme pizza so topping quality means a lot to me.

>>19241355
I think the quality of the sauce and of the toppings has gone down. It also seems sloppier. During the switch my roommate and I were ordering like twice a week and there was a definite drop in quality. Still beats dominoes and pizza hut though.
