I did not put others down such as Papa Johns as I think these two are the 2 most popular of all pizza chains.
Personally from past experience, Domino's is more expensive than Pizza Hut but does offer some alright deals every now and then.
Pizza Hut includes in some places a free salad bar to have at your hearts content before the main Pizza dish and refillable drinks on the side.
( I don't know if Domino's has this as we only used to have it delivered)
I feel you get more options with Pizza Hut and some of the crusts aren't bad compared to it's rival.
Plus, I prefer thr logo and older Pizza Hut building designs compared to Domino's.
What are your thoughts, fellow pizza enjoyers?
Are you a Domino's Demon or a Pizza Hut "The Hutt"?
Both are meh compared to home. Dough is flour water yeast. Touch of corn meal for roll out. Add time. That’s it. Cheap and easy.
Reclaim the Pizza Hut crust of 30 years ago by preheating a #8 or larger iron skillet with oil in it, carefully dropping in your rolled out crust, making sure it has a nice edge, and building your pizza. And your crust won’t taste as sugary as subway bread.
You have money to spare, pizza oven for the thin crust.
Dominos is better these days if you have to choose.
this has been my opinion since the early 90s and nothing during that time has changed my opinion.
meanwhile domino's has gotten markedly better since 2000. if I'm traveling and don't want to think about what to eat, I'm getting domino's because I know they're everywhere. them or papa johns depending on what deal is going on at the time.
Domino's for me. At my local chains, they've been consistently better than Pizza Hut and even the local pizza place. Pizza Hut is cheaper, but their stuff here is kinda bland. And I got food poisoning from them once lol. The local pizza place likes to overcook and burn their stuff; I have no idea how they're still in business.
Well, I prefer local, but out of the given options Domino's. I used to work at Pizza Hut, the dough comes in prefrozen disks in a box. I also used to smoke a lot of weed in a Domino's when my friend was managing (I'd get off delivering at my local and roll over and "help close their store" lol) and they ran shit so much better.
I would rather shite in my own hands and clap than buy a "pizza" from those fucking abominations
Pizza is a massive cash-grab as it is; they're so easy to make with very few ingredients. Why the fuck would you just hand money to shareholders like that?!?
I've only eaten at Pizza Hut once and it was in Shanghai, in 2008. It was fine. Never had Domino's. There are excellent Italian pizzerias all over Europe, so I never feel the need to go for a chain.
Compared to other national and international chains, I'll pick Dominos. Here in Vancouver there are just so many local pizza shops and smaller chains to choose from, even the cheaper/quantity over quality chains taste better than both Pizza Hut and Domino's (I'm thinking Freshslice for the Western Canadians in the room). Even corporate pizza events here don't go with Domino's, which was the go to when I was elsewhere.
FUCKING Papa John's. Cheap bastards don't want to have employees so all their deliveries go through DoorDash, and those drivers always steal part of my order. PJs blames DD, DD blames PJs, and no matter what I'm the one left screwed.
But more to your point, Dominoes > Pizza Hut ever since PH stopped dipping their crusts in grease. If I wanted to eat healthy I'd go be a rabbit or something.
I cant do Pizza Hut because my high school sold 'Pizza Hut' branded oil pies and they were so bad that I never entered an actual Pizza Hut in my adult life.
I dont mind the Dominos after the mid 2000s rebrand, Round Table is the best chain pizza imo but Dominos is decent and cheap for when you're in the mood for something junkier.
Domino’s tries to keep their ingredients fairly similar globally, but Pizza Hut tries much more agressively to adapt to local tastes in certain markets—like Thailand. I don’t know who they poll, but thousand island sauce with imitation crabs is not where it is at, & the frozen dough sucks. At least Domino’s uses corn meal + a shit ton of garlic to mask being lower quality. That said, I had Pizza Hut in Hanoi on Christmas a few years ago & it was honestly was one of the best pizzas I had ever had—from the crust, to zesty sauce, to the right amount of burn on the cheese. So… 🤷
If we're talking strictly flavor, I guess I prefer pizza hut. Almost never order them though because if I'm looking for that style, Domino's is noticably cheaper for pretty similar quality. If I'm in the mood to spend money on a good pizza, I'm going to a local place so pizza hut is just at a quality/price intersection that I don't find myself looking for.
Local always, except when the dominos sends a coupon occasionally. There are no pizza huts here anymore. We would eat there as kids though, because of that read and get a pizza deal.
Honestly, neither. Got a good local takeaway about 5 minutes on foot, don't even need to drive. Bit cheaper and I get to eat in the comfort of my own home.
If not that, then I'd rather go to a supermarket and pay up for one of the nice pizzas.
Highly recommend getting a pizza steel (a pizza stone works fine too, but a pizza steel is where it's at) and making pizza from scratch. Initial cost of the steel, then after that pizza just costs a few bucks in ingredients to make quite a few very tasty pizzas
In my area Dominos is more common, but they are really bad. All of them. We had them delivered on several occasions (over the time of a couple of years) and at least twice the food wasn't cooked properly. It was warm but the inside was still raw. When complaining, all you recieve is a voucher so you are bound to them as a customer.
Also, in order to cut preparing times short (a fast order and delivery is advertised) they prepare their pizzas in advance: at our local shop they have a prepared pizzas with the tomato sauce already applied to. They literally have a stack of them handy (at least 30 of these stacked up). They just need to put the toppings onto it, depending on the pizza that will be ordered.
When ordered, you recieve the pizza rather quickly, as promised, but the tomato sauce is more stale than their competitors' pizza, because the sauce was not freshly applied when the pizza was made). Also, they skimp on the toppings. With a little luck your pizza arrives warm and done (read: not raw on the inside).
Dominos pizza is not worth the money - more precisely, it is a waste of ingredients! I refuse to pay for anything from Dominos - my friends know that and therefore I get invited sometimes when they decide on Dominos. This way, at least I don't waste my money on them.
Pizza Hut on the other hand is always top notch. There are not many of them where I live, but when there is an occasion to have a pizza at them it's always worth the money. As far as I know they don't do deliveries - they are more a restaurant than a fast food place here.
Pizza Hut doesn't exist in my country, Domino's does. I've eaten at both in other countries and prefer Pizza Hut, but I prefer independent pizza restaurants to either of them.
I have had pizza hut in my lifetime im pretty sure but can't remember when. I have had pizza hut in the last decade so I guess it would win. I do feel its better but both are not as good as real pizza.
I've worked at Dominos and I like it alright, my family seems to prefer it, but I've always like Pizza Hut significantly more. I live in an area known for pizza though so when I actually get pizza I usually just get it from the mom and pop place literally across the street from me, it's way better than both and cheaper too. Not a lot of topping options but I was always a pepperoni pizza girl anyways.
God, you're so fucking right. And usually in the Midwest if it's a local place, the pizza can either be pretty damn good, or just gross and locals will still say it's the best ever. my city does have a pretty good NY style pizza place though.
That said, I don't mind my local Papa John's. Their crust is kinda sweet, and I like that it's soft.
Right? The town I live in has a couple pretty good (for the area anyway) places that seem like they struggle. Meanwhile, everyone here raves about another local chain that makes what is IMHO easily the worst pizza in the city. Maybe even the state. That's even counting the chains.
I used to be a believer that pizza is like sex, even when it's bad it's still good but, this place proved me wrong. Soggy crust, unseasoned toppings and, way too many of them (hence the soggy ass crust).
I echo the suggestion to support local shops, but I do occasionally go with a larger chain... It's not better pizza than the local shops it's just a different pizza.
I tend to prefer Domino's over Pizza Hut and especially over Papa John's (something about their formulation tends to upset my stomach way more than any other pizza... Plus the former CEO is very active in politics and not in a way I approve of).
To my Domino's tastes significantly better ... Pizza Hut used to be great, but I've been thoroughly unimpressed every time I've tried it in recent memory.
There's also local variance in these chains; some towns have a better Pizza Hut than Domino's 🤷♂️
Pizza Hut best value per calorie. One slice can sustain you for a day. If there is a way to stuff more calories into a pizza they will find it. The thick crust one, refrigerated then reheated is so good, all that extra grease makes the crust crisp up in a very pleasant way.
Pretty sure both chains offer vegan pizzas. So then it's only an atrocity against Italian cuisine (not because it's vegan, but because you could've chosen a proper pizzeria).
