I have a place and am working in Haimen, north of Shanghai, now and with only about 200 some "foreigners" there, not much choice for western food, except Pizza Hut and KFC (a definite pass there) but Starbucks recently opened. So, tried the Pizza Hut. Good salads-something that you usually don't find in the local eateries- but still the same bad pizza and marginal pasta dishes. But when you need it, it's there. And for about US$10, a small pizza with salad and fruit juice drink is not too bad, though high by Chinese standards. And more "upscale" interior that the usual American Pizza Hut store. The other US pizza chain, Papa Johns, recently opened in Nantong, where more ex pats live and work. Just got an apartment in Nantong where I stay 5 nights a week, so will probably try it as well, at least until I open my Chicago pizza restaurant-definitely a dream.
