My area has multiple local pizza places. They're all average at best, but I feel obligated to support local businesses.

Where I live, we have virtually no Pizza Huts or Dominos. There are too many mom & pop places (at least one per neighbourhood; sometimes three or more in one block). Some of the mom & pop places are great, some are shit, and depending on how many Italians, Greeks, or Turks you have nearby, opinions on which one is best can get pretty heated. It's like local sports teams, but with less running and more eating cheese.
The closest Dominos I know of is several towns away, and the main reason it's in business is because it's one of the only places that sells pizza to stoners at one AM. As for Pizza Hut, I've never seen one on its own; the only places they sell that stuff are at big chain movie theaters who partnered nationally with Pizza Hut (there's like one of those left) and this one combination Taco Bell & Pizza Hut that used to be on the highway, but probably isn't there anymore.
It sounds a lot better in your head than it tastes in practice.
It might work better with a white pizza than a red, or with a better-quality pizza than what was offered at that Chinese place. And I know for a fact it's not the most disgusting pizza anyone has ever tried, nor even the weirdest. But it was a massive letdown, and the gulf between what I was hoping would happen, and what actually happened, continues to haunt me to this day.

I mentioned this in another thread, but the worst pizza I've had was a General Tso's Chicken pizza. I made it at an all-you-can-eat Chinese Buffet, by taking a slice of cheese pizza (from the American section) and scooping a large helping of General Tso's Chicken on top.

Kmart had a deal with Little Caesars to run its snack bars. The thing about Little Caesars though is it’s pizza is often inconsistent. Even as a kid I could tell if it was from the local Little Caesars or the one across town.

If I end up finding myself in a mall I'll usually end up eating at one of those hipster "quick-fire" pizza joints (Blaze Pizza, Mod Pizza, PizzaRev, etc.) and get one of those build-your-own thin-crust pies with standard red sauce, mozzarella, some form of blue cheese (usually in the form of bleu cheese or Gorgonzola crumbles), pepperoni, bacon, and chopped garlic. If they have shredded Parmesan that's always on the list of options.
As far as chain pizza places go I usually have my phases, I'm currently in a Papa John's phase thanks to that Shaq-a-roni catching the interest of a friend and subsequently getting dragged into it.

Pizza Hut makes great pizza. The extra breading is the best part. Makes it more filling.

I always thought so too, but only because they had stuffed crust.
Now most places do it, and I have since preferred pan crust.

Pizza Hut always tastes like cake in a pizza costume to me. Not horrible, but not something I'm after when I want pizza.
Homemade pizzas are where its at. I can put as much extra sauce as I want on those without making someone else's job harder than it needs to be.

My favorite chain is Papa Murphys. They have excellent thin crust, regular, and their stuffed pizza is good too.

yeah I've had some enjoyable enough nuggie-centric pizzas that I could def be tempted to try a General Tso's Pizza

A local pizza restaurant started selling what they call "burger pizza" a few months ago. It consists of a really big beef patty (for 6 people, like a regular pizza) between two pizzas. That's it. I tried it and it's decent, like eating a burger with cheese and tomato sauce. But it was something I had never seen before.

It's very expensive and insanely greasy (I'm not too concerned about this health wise but it's just gross taste wise when you get that excessive). I'd have to treat Pizza Hut as a very rare treat to enjoy it

I had a cheeseburger pizza once. I can't remember where it came from. It had ground beef (broken up, not as a large patty), cheese, onions, pickle slices, and ketchup instead of red sauce. It basically tasted like the thing they give you at McDonald's when you just order a "cheeseburger."
It wasn't bad, but not really what I want from a pizza either. But it sure was memorable…

Home Run Inn pizza is great. Their frozen ultra thin pizzas are delicious when toasted in an oven, but they use anise and that may be a deal breaker for some.

All you peasants need to get Costco memberships. Shit, most of the time they don't even card you if you're just there for the food court. $2 for a massive slice that makes an entire meal, $10 for a whole pizza bigger than most chain stores' max size, double extra cheese is their default, generous on the toppings and the best pizza crust available from any chain company. Do yourselves a favor and go get yourselves a slice of pizza from a Costco food court. If you have a membership, you can get the exact same pizza (and more varieties some days) as a take'n'bake. Just measure your oven first.
The bad news is, their food court discontinued the combo pizza. The good news is, Costco is a company that's pretty big on customer feedback. The bad news is, I don't know how to bot.

I used to make weekly pizza margherita and then someone stole my basil plants.

That sounds tasty, to be honest. In some countries it's common to add ground beef to pizza (they call it "sausage" for some reason) and it isn't that bad.

I will always support my local pizza place. Tony is my guy that will always give me discounts from wings to pizzas and I will always have a special place in my heart for him.

Drizzle some honey on top before popping it in the oven and you're in for a divine experience.

I'd love to try the McPizza. Maybe time machines will be invented one day. I know it stuck around in one location but that's in Florida. I'll melt in Florida.
