We all have our favorite local pizza joints where we live, but when on the road or out in the boondocks, which chain pizza parlor is your choice? And what type of pizza? For me, it is Round Table, the All-Meat Marvel. My arteries thank you. If you feel like adding the worst to this list, feel free to do so...for me, Little Seizures...Caesars.

Papa John's thin crust, the works, extra bake.
I'm a Papa John's fan too.

If it has to be a chain, then Papa John's for me. Thin crust...

I like Ditrina's Pizzeria, now that's Italian.
never again.

It would be worth the $300 in gas to get carry-out.

I'll have to say Pizza Hut. It's the only way that I can get my son to cook for me. And I do everything I can to make odd orders for him to fill. [emoji16]
There is a place in buena vista Colorado that makes a great pizza, the name escapes me now though.

Can't stand any chain pizza. Been making my own for 50yrs.
Make it for others on weekends

New one around here, PYRO'S. $8.60 for @10" pizza with your choice of meats, cheeses, and veggies. Toppings are like a salad bar, all one price. Very thin crust and finished in gas fired oven. Mmmmmmmm! 
Beer + any pizza = culinary contentment.
I was spoiled by *good* pizza in and around new Haven, CT, and so I can not go to a chain pizza place. Except Pepe's, I guess you could call them a chain because they now have 9 locations. Pepe's started in New haven, and is considered by many to be the best anywhere. The original Pepe's in New Haven uses the same coal fired oven they've used since something like 1930, and supposedly it has not been allowed to cool down in many decades. The wooden spatula thing used to place and remove pizzas from the oven has a handle about 10 feet long - the pizza goes that far into the oven.
Only have what I can make myself or take home and bake....
Regional chain, Godfather's. Italian sausage, mushroom & onion, extra cheese. Pick-up in 20 minutes.
For chain pizza....
... around here Pizza Hut is the best IMHO. They aren't quite as good as they used to be, but consistent and good.
Papa John's, Dominoes, Little Caesar's, I can't remember which is decent but I don't think any of them are tops.
Mellow Mushroom is good but expensive.
We have a local chain here called 'Stoner's Pizza' and they were very good but the last three times we got them they were terrible with terrible service. I mean almost two hours and they never got the pizza's right and what they had wasn't good.
Two defunct local chains, Village Inn and Dino's were GREAT but very long gone.
Compared to what we used to get, I've only had a few good pizzas in years and none of them excellent. Even in NYC the one's we got were nothing to write home about.
Kraft used to make a boxed pizza where you'd make the dough, let it rise, assemble and bake. The crust was delicious and the sauce with just the right amount of tang. They included a package of herbs that pushed it to a 'superior' rating. They don't make those any more either.

There's a local place called Erbelli's that is very good. They have two locations. Voted Best Pizza in Kalamazoo and Portage | Erbellis
For chains, I like Papa Murphy's. You cook it yourself so you know it will be hot. Not to mention that you can "enhance" it if you like.

I asked a guy in Raleigh "where do you get good pizza around here?". He said "575 miles up I95"
, he was from CT.I've had Pepe's, it's pretty good pizza.
Chain pizza, no way.
