Their motto should be
"At least it's better than Dominos"
Of course, the carbox box it comes in tastes better than the pizza.

Really, though, isn't talking about preferring Papa John's over Dominos and vice versa sort of like having a debate between, "I like my turds to have bits of corn! No, I like my turds to have chunks of nuts!"
[really sorry about that image]
What we really need now is some jackass from New York to start in about Original Ray's Original Pizza or whatever...damn those New Yorkers and their cocky attitude, just because they have the best pizza.

If it makes you happy though, I'm a jackass from NY. I didn't bring up any other pizza because pizzeria pizza is a completely different animal from franchise pizza. That would be like comparing.... Papa John's to Ray's Pizza. See how that works?
By the way, I haven't had Ray's in like 15 years, but back then I found it to be completely overrated. There is my cocky 2 cents.

But thank you kindly for your NY jackassery. That indeed makes me happy. I don't know why.

Anyway, the metaphor doesn't apply, since my superior powers of pizza analysis give me insight not available to normal people and other non-east coast types. There are certain properties of pizza that only those of my ilk are equipped to understand, and comparing them is not just something us snobs enjoy, it's practically a duty.

Secondly, what attack? You of all people should know better than to think an acknowledgment about the low quality of both Dominos and Papa John's somehow constitutes a personal attack. You New Yorkers have such thin crust. Not like Chicagoans...
Third, I didn't try to be a wiseass. I succeeded. ...but if what I said, which I hadn't meant maliciously, hurt your feelings, then I sincerely apologize and will make a point of ignoring your posts in the future.

A promotion tied to in-game achievements, say you get a Gold trophy or 20 Gamerscore points, that bags you a coupon for five dollars off so you can celebrate your victory with some pizza.

Hungry? Press a button and a hot pizza, which you can change the toppings for in your system configurations, appears right in front of you, or at least on the nearest table/bed. Now that would be convenient.

I would prefer to order that way, when you order online they get a printout of your order-- I've yet to have a single online order messed up, but when it goes through some teenager on the other end of the phone, you never know what'll happen.

And i don't know about you, but that counts as a very strenuous exercise on my book.

it takes about 4-5 times as long to order it online, with all of the shenangans that you have to go through, and twice, after ordering online, after waiting for 45-60 min., i called them to find out they never recieved my order.
two nights ago, i called them (took about 2 minutes), ordered a pizza, and got it in less than a half hour.
alternative options do not always simplify things.

Also, paying online by credit card so I don't have to screw with paying the driver is pretty nice as well.

I, resident of S. Korea, ordered a pizza for my fiance, resident of N. Carolina, and was able to specify everything she wanted down to the T.
Sure, if i was to order it on the phone (if at all possible), there would probably be little mix-up. But it is nice to know that you can add in WHATEVER type of comment you want in the "Instructions for the Driver" box.
I put in "Lots of Parmesan and Seasoning Packets", when its fun to put in "Door Knock Must Be Duck Tales Theme".

I don't know if it was that or another MMO.

I facepalmed.
09/16/09
And I guess fed it to me.

Ergo, the pizza guy is going to have to stay and feed it me.

You would think that a food (i.e. pizza) whose enjoyment is very dependent on how fresh out-of-the-oven it is would be one of the least likely to develop a business model where it spends 30 minutes in transit (cooling down meanwhile) during delivery. We've all had those times where they take 45-60 minutes to deliver your pizza and it's luke-warm at best when it arrives.
But it wouldn't be problem for a sub sandwich, something that doesn't require an oven. I wouldn't care if my sub spent 30-45 minutes sitting in a car during delivery, because those sandwiches enjoyment aren't dependent on how fresh from the oven they are.
I find it a bit ironic.
09/16/09
There are quite a few places around me that deliver now. For whatever reason, though, I don't use any of them. Pizza and Chinese I have no problem with ordering for delivery, everything else I seem to go pick up... Force of habit?
The big thing around here right now are chains of chicken wing franchises that deliver.
I'm not a huge fan of wings unless I'm at a bar, but I could imagine it working out well to order up big orders of 50 or 100 wings if you have friends over.

@AncientUnknown1: They might not be subs sandwiches.
But domino's does deliver their oven baked sandwiches...and let me tell you they are FREAKING AMAZING!!!
CHICKEN PARM FOR THE DAMN WIN!!!

Even more reason why I curse that no such place exists in my city.

In 10 years time, we'll all be looking like the people from Wall-E.
Edit: Crap, didn't realize NeVeRMoRe666 already made a Wall-E reference.
