Are you a fan of one or the other?

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”?

      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

    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… 🤷

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Papa John’s (in midwest; it’s terrible in California). Agree with sibling poster that local shops are better (they don’t exist in the midwest).

      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 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.

    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.

    EVERYONE out pizzas the hut.

    pizza hut is bad chain pizza.

    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.

          I guess that wasn’t entirely true, there’s one about 10 miles away but they only do pizzas on Thursdays and they’re so popular you sometimes have to order days in advance.

          Its not traditional pizza, either. Its like an actual pie. The meat lovers would make Henry VIII wimper in fear.

          It’s pricey, but it’s good shit.

          Edit: they also do “sammiches” and they’re also pricey, but good shit.

    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’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.
