I've been eating a lot of good pizza lately, and wonder how these results would skew if one good local craft pizza maker was in the mix?

Nation's Restaurant News offers this tidbit:

QUOTE
Ann Arbor-based Domino’s, the operator or franchisor of 8,886 pizza restaurants said that in an independent, blind taste test of nearly 1,800 pizza consumers in eight U.S. markets, Domino’s pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese pizzas were picked more often than those of Papa John’s and Pizza Hut “by a wide margin.”

In the study, conducted by Lieberman Research Worldwide, about 61 percent of participants preferred Domino’s extra cheese pizza to Pizza Hut’s and nearly 67 percent preferred it to Papa John’s. For pepperoni, 67.5 percent preferred Domino’s over Pizza Hut and 61 percent preferred it to Papa John’s. About 58 percent of tasters preferred Domino’s sausage pizza over Pizza Hut’s and nearly 60 percent preferred it to Papa John’s.

My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

I know that out here (suburban West Essex NJ) Domino's has a tough time competing against local pizza makers, even though they charge less than the "established" price for pizza.

A bad meal is never a bargain.

I sometimes think about how it would be to live in an area where Papa John's would be the best alternative for store bought pizza. I'm sure I'd start making my own.

The area from Boston to Philadelphia seems to be blessed with a very high ratio of pizza makers to residents. I'm sure it's a lot higher than the comparable ratios in North Dakota, New Orleans, Vermont, and many other places.

When the Star-Ledger's Munchmobile did a pizza tour last year, they only did a thousand places in NJ, and acknowledged they missed many, many other pizza makers.

I've found that on average the pizza in Monmouth County to be better than the pizza in New York.

There. I said it.
