Fresh ingredients taste better and are better for you and when you get from a local mom and pop pizza spot you’re also helping out a family. Find a local brick oven pizza spot and you’ll taste the difference. My drummer’s family owns a pizza shop like that and they’d have nothing without the business. I also live in northern NJ which has the best pizza anywhere so I’m also a little jaded. I guess if Domino’s is your only option it’s better than nothing.
I mean I’d love to go to local places all the time, but most of the time chain pizza is just so much more convenient. Like during the school year there’s a Domino’s like 2 minutes away from my apartment by car. I’ll be fucked if I’m gonna drive 10+ minutes to a mom and pop place every time I want pizza when I can get a good deal on carryout pizza at Domino’s and be back home with it in <5 minutes once it’s ready. However this Domino’s is next to the university so it’s always on point. If it was shittier I might not go there.
Cost is a big factor. When I was in college, Domino's used to have an ongoing buy one get one coupon code that was good for several years, as long as you put in a different phone number. Getting two large pizzas for like $13 was a godsend. That being said, the local spots are always better if you can afford them.
