For people who consider themselves smart, there are quite a few posts responding to "Not all local pizza is inherently better than chain pizza" with "Here's a specific local place that's better" in this topic.

Every pizza parlor within 5 miles of me is better than the big 4. I do like little caesars, but there's just no contest here

im blown away from how just about everything in this post is wrong. Let me count the ways:

chain pizza tastes the same as frozen pizza

fuck no.

If you think frozen pizza is good pizza, I mean you're not wrong

frozen pizza is fucking disgusting

All pizza is good

no, just no.

@ThyCorndog please rethink your views on
chain pizza tastes like red baron or digiorno or w/e lol

Grew up near Dayton Ohio, which oddly enough has its own pizza style, cracker thin crust cut into squares and salty as hell so most of the local places emulate that style. Didn't like it then and dont like it now when I visit so I will take any chain place over the local stuff every day.
Now I also lived in Detroit and Chicago and will always pick a local pizza over a chain one at those places.

It depends where you live. If you are in New York or Chicago yeah, I get why you are going local only.

Everywhere else though? A lor of the local/family owned places aren't that good, sometimes even not as good as some of the chain places.

I miss the old ny style and variety and just really greasy meaty pizza with great high quality ingredients and crust. Little Caesars is better than most of these fetish pizzas out there. Is fetish the right word though? It's like hipster pizza. I don't like it that much.

There are pizza places that have even tried to mass produce NY style pizza and it's not as good. Antonio's is like that. It's not the real thing.

I miss the assortment too. This pizza place where i grew up it wasn't really NY style but was just really greesy and thick layer of cheese with really spicy pepperoni and the crust was so original too. It was so good.

Too much fake pizza out there. It's really because of greed and everything being so mass produced. Some of these places advertise high quality ingredients but a lot of these places have been driven out of business because you can't even get high quality ingredients anymore. They aren't available.

A lot of these hipsters don't know how to make pizza either. They are hipsters and they all use the same ingredients.

Any average Joe that starts selling pizza will technically be local but aren't guaranteed to be good

Plus domino's pan pizza with the garlic parmesan is low key fire

The one thing that gets me with local is that people say its cheaper than chain pizza. Fuck no its not. I can get a 3 topping large pizza from a chain for $8. No way i can get that from a local place.

Argue the quality all you want (its subjective anyways) but chain pizzas are certainly less expensive.
You can't argue. Some places may charge 20 bucks or more for a cheese pizza and "insert topping name" pizza. If someone thinks I'm joking, I'm not. You're not getting value all the time from a local place, even if you like what they offer.

People need to understand that local eateries are not always good. If you're in places like New York, New Jersey, Chicago, places that are famous for pizza, I understand. But other places, I've heard a lot of negativity with local pizza joints.

I question if the people complaining about anything that is a chain actually go to their local chains/stores. They're hypocrites if they don't. I understand wanting to support local places, but it's no different than big name chains. Food wise, it's a gamble. Huge gamble. You're not always going to win with local places.

There absolutely is such a thing as bad pizza. Most pizza will fall into the decent at best category but once in a while you will stumble across a pie so vile that you wonder how it can even be called pizza.

The fetishization of pizza in general needs to slow down.

It doesn't take much skill and experience to make a good pizza, compared to authentic foods. It's just pizza.

There is hipster pizza. There is frozen pizza. Store bought pizza. There is chain pizza. There is real pizza. Typical mom and pop stuff. And real good pizza. Unfortunately the real good pizza is dying and the hardest to find and it wasn't always that way. Quite the opposite. Such is life these days too.

We need to get back to the real good but that's being forgotten. It's a lot of chains, mediocrity and hipster crap out there. Even what is being marketed as really good these days. Trump or the liberal crap. It's all false advertising.

Its weird how people feel attacked by people stating their preference for local pizza. I appreciate we all have different palates and grew up with different expectations of what a pizza is and should be.
I am happy to say the only bad pizza I encountered was a frozen pizza from Costco. Every other frozen pizza Ive encountered has at least been decent, most everything from Costco is at least good, but that Costco frozen pizza? That was wrong.

I don't think I'm a pizza snob by any means. That little casers pretzel pizza is probably the grossest good pizza depending on when you get it there is. Sometimes whoever makes it it's just slop and cheese. Other times its good. I also eat mcdonalds, bk, wendy's, arby's, taco bell/kfc. whatever. I like it real. I also know really good pizza when i see it. And where i grew up had some of the best of that.

Maybe it's your taste buds. There's a very clear difference that's not hard to taste. I like both chains and frozen, but you can easily tell the difference in most cases...

You can't really guarantee until you've been to an area... Some are just bad...

In the end, almost all pizza is good, but locals aren't always God tier. Many are actually pretty bad...
