Pineapple and pepperoni or Pineapple and ham on those big chain store pizzas make them palatable. On a good mom and pop shop pizza no way.

Pizza Hut was the only chain that was anything beyond serviceable, and was actually quite good. Today's Pizza Hut is no longer that.

I actually preferred Domino's over the Hut.

I actually preferred Domino's over the Hut.

Dominos started with bad pizza. Very similar to a cheap frozen pizza.
It was so bad, I've never been back. They now have good pizza???? I'll never know.

Why have all the pizza chainsgotten worse? It's like the exec's woke up one morning and said, "let's try cheap shit and see if it sells"

No they do not have good pizza they have tolerable pizza if you are drunk enough,

You simpletons wouldn't know good food if it slapped you in the face. Lol

Well that and your reading comps suck.

You have to refer to my earlier comments about chain store pizza and mom and pop shops.

You're probably the same group of knuckle draggers that like meat lover's pizza.

Having been lucky enough to have grown up in Boston before the pizza chain craze, then lucky enough to travel around the world on the governments dime, I've had some of the best pizza ever. Also the worst. It wasn't until I joined the military and on occasion had very little choice that I started eating Dominoes. Now in Thailand with some of the best cuisine in the world, I still sometimes wish I had a Dominoes pepperoni and PINEAPPLE. Even the chain stores offer all kinds of terrible seafood pizza. However, on occasion I've tried the Phad Grapow pizza. No it's not seafood thank God. For the uneducated on here Phad Grapow is a staple food here, eaten for B/L/D. Rarely found on pizza. English it's known as holy basil. Get it with your choice of protien. I usually have pork. Served with rice and fried egg. For those who can't handle spicy, you're a sad lot. But you can get it not spicy. Check it out if you've never had it.

Gimme Five things you find overrated.

1. The Beatles: I know a lot of people say they are the best rock band ever I just don't agree. There are songs I like but IMO they are far from the best ever.

2. Steak: I know this is b/c taste buds change but when I include the cost of getting a decent cut now a day i'll lean toward grilled fish or chops.

3. Harley Davidson: You are paying more for reputation than quality, sure if your are insecure get an HD feel great about yourself.

4. The writers guild. Seems all they do anymore is just regurgitate and old show or movie.

5. Summer: I know this depends on where you live, but it suck in Florida.

1. Beatles. Couldn't agree more. They were different and that was their gift. That and the media loved them.

2. Seafood. I can't eat it because it'll kill me. Overrated to me.

3. Ralph Lauren. Cheaply designed clothes to reduce production costs. Refuse to make a 2X shirt 2X with a 52" chest or an equal belly.

4. Media opinion. No one can give an opinion without an agenda. I've stopped watch newscasts because it isn't news.

5. Sex. At twenty five, you can't get enough and can do it five or six times in a row. At 75, it's work and you're supposed to be retired. Yeah, the ending stills feels pretty good but the old lady doing her nails during the ordeal kinda breaks the mood.

In all honesty, it has gotten better over the past few years after the owners actually read a national curvet that basically had them at the bottom. They have put money into finding better ingredients.

Still just gut filler...IMHO...

Best Pizza I ever had was in Salem MA. Little mom and pop run by Italians. I can still hear him say "Don't tip it!" as he handed me the box, eluding to the fact that the cheese would slide. You never hear that anymore. The cheese wouldn't come off if you tipped it upside down and frisbeed the thing into your trunk...But I digress...
Second best was in Boston, North End of course.
Third was in Atlanta, the chick taking orders had to translate to the lady writing down the order, who then hollered it to the guys at the ovens.

Salem spot is gone, that was 50 years ago. I honestly don't know the name or exact location of the one in Boston, Atlanta is the only one I could drive right too again as that was about 10 years ago.

I was born in South Portland, Maine.

Portland has always been the largest city and to this day sill is. Portland always struggled to maintain itself until the 90s and early 2000's. Southern Maine has become a Boston suburb and he demands have changed it.

I regress.... In the 1950's a small convenience neighborhood sore opened on India St. in Portland. The family that opened it, ran a small bakery across the street that made fresh bread daily. At the end of the side street was a restaurant called "The Village". The bakery and store were owned by the Amato family and the restaurant by the Reali's. Naturally, they inter-married. The restaurant was Italian and never served pizza.

Now the rest of the story.....................

Amato's started making a simple sandwich. Ham, cheese, tomato, green pepper, onions and black olives. Then they started baking an Ialian roll bread just for the sandwich. 10" long and all of the ingredients were cut fresh into the long roll and had salt, pepper and imported Italian olive oil sprinkled on top. The sandwich cost $.25 in 1958. Amato's also made the first 10" pizza. Oly two pizzas. Cheese and pepperoni. The pizza was $1.00 in 1958.

No one has ever been able to make an Italian sandwich like Amato's. Several companies have tried and all have gone out of business. Amato's started selling franchises in the 1980's. They control the bread, the way the sandwiches are made and the pizza dough. There are twelve Amato's operating in Maine and NH today.

Every time we go up to our relatives' places in Maine, at least one meal is an Italian Sandwich and one meal is an Amato's pizza.

We don't even say sandwich...................."Let's get Italians."

It's the bread....................................

You are spot on other than summer!

I agree.
Also, Phil Collins. Actually, even more overrated.

2. Steak: I know this is b/c taste buds change but when I include the cost of getting a decent cut now a day i'll lean toward grilled fish or chops.

Blasphemy.

3. Harley Davidson: You are paying more for reputation than quality, sure if your are insecure get an HD feel great about yourself.

Ehh...Don't care either way. While I only ever owned Honda, I don't think it's a security thing. I don't fault anyone for Harley/BMW/Yamaha/Moto Guzzi choices. Ride what you want to ride. Harley riders are the most clickey though.

4. The writers guild. Seems all they do anymore is just regurgitate and old show or movie.

So true. Or add another sequel. And when that gets boring revert to a prequel.

5. Summer: I know this depends on where you live, but it suck in Florida.

Spring and Fall for me!!

1. Beatles. Couldn't agree more. They were different and that was their gift. That and the media loved them.

Allman Brothers. A lot of talent without the results.

2. Seafood. I can't eat it because it'll kill me. Overrated to me.

Diets.

3. Ralph Lauren. Cheaply designed clothes to reduce production costs. Refuse to make a 2X shirt 2X with a 52" chest or an equal belly.

The Gap. Or Chinese Levi's.

4. Media opinion. No one can give an opinion without an agenda. I've stopped watch newscasts because it isn't news.

Yup.

5. Sex. At twenty five, you can't get enough and can do it five or six times in a row. At 75, it's work and you're supposed to be retired. Yeah, the ending stills feels pretty good but the old lady doing her nails during the ordeal kinda breaks the mood.

I guess...when you're so old you fart dust.

Or when you are so fat you can't see your own dick!

Anybody who doesn't like sex is probably doing it wrong......

Liking it or enjoying it has nothing to do with it. It just ain't quite as much fun or as easy as it was 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 years ago.

1) Beatles were a pop group with great musicians. Often they set what was the pop rather than just following it. I don't think they are underrated, but I do also believe there are a lot of good, innovative groups, past and present.

2) Steak - agree, I still like it, especially with a good sear.

3) Harleys - I don't know enough.

4) WGA - Selling what the buyer demands. Lots conspire for unimaginative "entertainment".

5) Summer beats winter everywhere but I concede your location isn't the best summer location and ain't a bad winter location.
