On other chains: I’ve never understood lumping Domino’s and Pizza Hut together. Domino’s isn’t great, but it’s not a disaster either - when there was one within walking distance, it was an occasional guilty pleasure. But I don’t think I’d ever buy from Pizza Hut.
I feel sort of bad for local pizza places, like with local coffee shops: most of them are not good. Not at all. However, there are a few gems in there, but with all the dreck I need to see a bunch of positive reviews before I’d bother trying them out.
Wow a lot of words have been spilled on this website about Alleycat’s. At least four chat threads over the years?!
