papa johns double pepperoni a few weeks ago: red tasteless puddle in a giant crust, few strands of cheese, no pepperoni. threw most of it away.

emailed papa johns, not for another pizza, just to tell them they may have a problem.

DM contacted me, apologetic, said he’d email a code for a free pizza.

never got it.

That was an interesting watch. Thanks.
I didn’t realize that millennials were 2/3 of India’s population- if I head correctly.

pizza butt💩the kids ordered from them a few weeks ago and the Only parts recognizable was the “crust” and Pepperoni. There were uniformly shaped things (?sausage?) and the Dogs even walked away from it. The stuff looked like BIG Deer turds. Either I make Pizza We Order from Pie in the Sky (Mooresville, NC)

Aldi’s rising crust pizza...just as good as any of these pizzas mentioned above. Price: $2.69.

That’s all I’m willing to pay these days. So much slop out there.

Probably the curry pizza with naan crust put them over the top.

Ultimately, though, Taco Bell wins the franchise wars.

Not really a coherent comparison. Schnatter's first expansion paradigm was you could walk in from a dorm or frat house. Second expansion was to their parents in the suburbs, third was into stadiums and the hard tie-in to sports (which they still have to fix).

The Carneys developed Pizza Hut by going after old, established restauranteurs as franchisees (thus the buffets in the 70s and 80s), then Pepsi got out of the fast-food biz in '97, and PH has been a thorn in the side of Tricon/YUM ever since.

Monaghan was driven to go international from the start, less questions about the money that way. And thus no surprise that Domino's ended up in Bain Capital. But it would be hard to argue against what Brandon and Doyle have done for the brand, although the non-pizza items are total garbage.

I don’t even want to think about possible pizza toppings in India!

After watching a season of “IRT Deadliest Roads” in India, I wouldn’t want to work there.

The restaurant chain found its success in India the same way it won the pizza wars in the United States: delivery and technology.

...

Somehow I knew it didn’t have anything to do with the taste of the food.

However, Domino’s stock price is up over 100 times since November of 2008.
