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”?

    If we’re talking strictly flavor, I guess I prefer pizza hut. Almost never order them though because if I’m looking for that style, Domino’s is noticably cheaper for pretty similar quality. If I’m in the mood to spend money on a good pizza, I’m going to a local place so pizza hut is just at a quality/price intersection that I don’t find myself looking for.

    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.

    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 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?!?

    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.

    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.

    Pizza Hut doesn’t exist in my country, Domino’s does. I’ve eaten at both in other countries and prefer Pizza Hut, but I prefer independent pizza restaurants to either of them.

    I echo the suggestion to support local shops, but I do occasionally go with a larger chain… It’s not better pizza than the local shops it’s just a different pizza.

    I tend to prefer Domino’s over Pizza Hut and especially over Papa John’s (something about their formulation tends to upset my stomach way more than any other pizza… Plus the former CEO is very active in politics and not in a way I approve of).

    To my Domino’s tastes significantly better … Pizza Hut used to be great, but I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed every time I’ve tried it in recent memory.

    There’s also local variance in these chains; some towns have a better Pizza Hut than Domino’s 🤷‍♂️

      Pretty sure both chains offer vegan pizzas. So then it’s only an atrocity against Italian cuisine (not because it’s vegan, but because you could’ve chosen a proper pizzeria).

          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.

    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.
