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”?

    Pizza Hut over Dominos.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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?!?

    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.

      I got a pizza steel and it’s been a game changer. Now I make full sized pizzas at home and they are delicious.

    Dominos used to be the cheapest pizza in town. Then we got a Little Caesars that was much cheaper.

    I was eating the cheapest pizza, so it’s Little Caesars for me. A couple years later they get shutdown for gross (heh) health code violations.

    I no longer get Little Caesars, and that made me rethink getting the cheapest pizza. Now I prefer my local pizzeria.

    I prefer local shops, but we do occasionally order the black box one at dominos or the Marcos magnifico. Haven’t had hut in years.

    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.

    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.

    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.
