    I know its April fools but the idea of having to buy then download a pizza code, to give to your pizza printer oven, that needed over-priced printer cartridges, that you couldnt refill with your own pizza sauce or cheese, does at least sound real.

    Like realistically those dumb kuregs are not too far off from that. We could just add the internet to these things and charge your more for the things you already bought. Maybe each kuregg pod comes with a vanilla burst mode that can only be accessed if you have a subscription model, or pay 50 cents via the app on each cup of coffee.

    These fast food companies are going to have to retire soon the way they are going. It cost more to go to McDonalds then going to a real sit down restaurant. And you get less food. Half the fast food places don’t even open up their sit down stores past 6pm anyways. you have to drive through or order from a shitty delivery app. At some point they are not going to have store locations and its just going to be selling their licensed food products to grocery stores or ghost kitchens. I could see fast food chains try to make fun novelty products like a counter top mc flurry machine, or the coca cola soda stream that tries to deliver you monthly syrup bags, or soft serve mix that used to go directly to McDonalds stores. Some bullshit with a touch screen and internet with promo codes and ads that always display to you.

      Dominoes isn’t that bad, as far as takeout goes. It’s borderline tolerable, like every other chain. I taste no appreciable difference between the brands, until homemade or proper restaurants enter the mix

        Either you don’t have any taste buds, or you don’t order pizza that often. A statement like this is like saying “I taste no appreciable difference between Coke and Pepsi”.

        • Papa Johns’ has an almost-sugary pizza sauce that I don’t like that much. I also prefer pan pizza, but their default is that floppy NY pizza style. I consider them one of my least favorite option. Fucking Yum can’t manage any of their brands.
        • Domino’s used to suck about 15-20 years ago, but they have improved in every way now. Typically my go-to delivery, for a major chain brand.
        • Pizza Hut is still pretty good for pan pizza, but some think is greaser than others. They tend to use a lot of cheese, which is fine by me.
        • Little Caesars, absolute fucking garbage. I’d rather heat up a cheap pizza at home.
        • Cicis, barely above Little Caesars, about the same quality as Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Gattis
        • Jet’s Pizza, really really good pan pizza, a bit more expensive, but better than old standards like Domino’s or Pizza Hut.
        • Mellow Mushroom, Old Chicago, Blaze Pizza, all S-tier pizza restaurants, though they don’t deliver. Making your own pizza with Blaze just makes it the top pick out of all of these.

          Sorry, it’s just all garbage compared to a small greek or italian place, I don’t even consider any of them a proper option in the first place.

          Aw, man… But back in the day when it was all you can eat for $5? Those were the days. Didn’t matter that it wasn’t the best – it was alright, and you could have as much as you wanted. Walk out of there wondering how you managed to eat the equivalent of 6 entire large pizzas in one sitting… (Not counting crusts, of course. Why would you bother eating the crust when you can just grab 5 more fresh slices?)

          finally, someone else that hates Papa Johns sauce. Their garlic dip is on point from what I remember, but Jesus fuck their tomato sauce ruins everything it touches. Tomato sauce should be many things on pizza – savory, salty, maybe slightly spiced, hell even just fucking bland and flavorless would be an improvement but not fucking sweet.

        It may be different in your country, but in mine there are takeout pizzas that aren’t a chain, and 95% of the time they are better.
