me & ms. db love pizza, there's no two ways about it.. the missus especially - if she goes a week without some kind of pizza-based foodstuff, she starts to get the shakes and goes a deathly white colour!
this weekend, we've been tempted by some Perfect Pizza offers (BOGOF, 40% off, that sort of thing) but are worried about straying from our usual Domino's/Pizza Hut path of righteousness.. now, i remember the days when Perfect Pizza (neé Gino's Pizza) was your only choice in Stafford, but since Domino's came along i have never been back.. my memories of it are, however, very good..
what's it like these days? does it compare to Domino's or Pizza Hut? obviously, if you're one of these weirdos who doesn't like Domino's/Pizza Hut and would rather stay at home with your Dr. Oetker, trying to convince yourself that it really is better, then it's safe to assume our tastes are different.. still, all opinions welcome!
i tried TGF Pizza (or whatever it's called) a while ago, after someone i know wouldn't shut up raving about them, and it was shit.. we had 3 different pizzas, but couldn't tell which was which because they all looked (and pretty much tasted) the same.. it wasn't bad, but certainly wasn't good and not a patch on the "proper" pizza places..
Romance do good pizza, but they're basically a slightly more upmarket Al Karim, so whilst i do like them i don't consider them a proper alternative to a dedicated pizza joint such as The Big Two..
for me, here are the pros/cons:
Domino's
Pros
- Garlic & Herb dip - this shiz is like crack, yo!
- Texas BBQ and The Sizzler - 2 pizzas that just can't be matched elsewhere
- Always tidy deals to be found (i'm currently rinsing a 50% off voucher that lasts 'til next year)
- They deliver
Cons
- Can occasionally be undercooked and taste a bit "synthetic"
- Side orders (chicken, wedges, etc.) are a bit crap and processed
Pizza Hut
Pros
- Stuffed crust option
- Super Supreme - Smashing pizza, especially now Domino's have dropped the Full House
- Side orders are lovely - crispy wedges, proper chicken, etc.
Cons
- They don't ruddy deliver!
- No Garlic & Herb dip
let's have your opinions of the various pizza options here in stafford! as i say, i'm particularly interested in Perfect Pizza, and how it stacks up against the two main competitors..
