Favorite fast food pizza?
I can't post polls because I'm not a donor, so just chime in with your favorite.

Myself, I love, love, LOVE Gumby's pizza. They've got a lot of locations in college towns throughout the Southeast and Midwest. Best pizza, subs, and cheesy bread (Pokey Stix) I've EVER had.

1. Pizza Hut
Only the Pan Pizza, though. Their Lasagna is also tasty.

9. I was a little skeptical of their pasta
but I tried the Alfredo and it was pretty good. It wasn't anything special but much better than I expected. Lasagna is one of my favorite foods so maybe I'll try it sometime.

17. I like their lasagna a lot.
It's a better bang for the buck than any pizza they sell, too. Give it a shot. It probably won't be the best you've ever had, but I think you'll be happy with it.

22. I haven't tried the Alfredo yet
As Zavulon said, the lasagna won't be the best ever, but way better than I expected.

3. Oh, I used to LOOOOVE Gumby's. My college days just flashed back to me.
I remember when Pokey Stix were brand new. God I'm old.

I don't order pizza anymore. Papa John's is the only vegan crust/sauce out there that I know of.

6. The pizza place I used to work at in Orlando had vegan crusts and sauce.
Not breadsticks though, those had butter on them. Or something resembling butter. The main ingredient may have been soybean oil, but I'm pretty sure with the long list of stuff after that there was probably at least one animal byproduct. :P

Our garlic rolls were vegan though. Oil, not butter.

7. The crust usually isn't the problem, it's the sauce.
So much of it has beef stock or meat outright in it.

4. Chuck E. Cheese
Pizza is just so much better when combined with Skeeball and a bacteria laden ballpit.

12. I like to draw on a pencil mustache, wear a cheap windbreaker...
and drink beer alone at Chuck E. Cheese.
Good times.

10. Back in the early 80s it was Godfather's.
I worked there, and lived with my manager while I was in college. I literally lived off the stuff as it was free, and it really wasn't bad at all. We also got free draft beer, as the sold glass pitchers for discounted refills. So we would head home every night with free pizza, sandwiches, salads and pitchers of beer. The free food came in from call-in orders that would never get picked up.

13. Little Caesar's. I like Gumby's better, but there is nothing fast about that food.

15. Punch Pizza
www.punchpizza.com

Authentic Neopolitan pizza prepared to order and baked in a wood-fired oven at 800° for 90 seconds. Yes, it's unlike most fast food pizzas, and yes, it's as good as it sounds. :9

20. One of the founders/backers of Punch was also one of the founders of Caribou Coffee
so I think there are possible plans to expand the operation beyond the Twin Cities. So I wouldn't be surprised if they expanded to other markets in the near future. They've already opened three or four new shops in the past couple years, so it's possible. :)

21. Yes! Maybe because that's what I got used to as a kid, but I
like their spicy sauce, I just love Round Table. Sigh. There isn't one within 500 miles of where I now live, sadly.

23. Wow, Gumby's
College memories, mostly involving drunken 3AM Pokey Stix consumption.

I'm not sure I actually think it tastes all that good, but it is about the best drunk pizza you can get, and they're open 'til 4AM, so you can soak up your booze all night long.

25. Hungry Howies...
It's the only pizza I eat crust first due to all the flavored crust options. They also have great specials daily.

26. There was a time when Pizza Hut rose above mediocrity to offer a pretty good pie.
This was a few years ago, when they were in a battle with another chain (Pappa John's?) over ingredients.

They started using larger chunks of toppings, and I believe they were from a different supplier, because they tasted fresher.

That only lasted about a year, then they went back to the rat-turd sized toppings they have to this day.


The consistent winner in my neighborhood is Piggie Pies.
