I went to a friend's party in Pasadena, CA last year. I was charged with picking up (not ordering, but just picking up) the pizzas from a Little Caesars' off of Colorado Blvd. There were about 10 pizzas, but all of them were very dry, and the crust resembled a dense saltine cracker. They reminded me of baking a frozen pizza too long. We had about 20 people at the party and only 5-6 slices were actually consumed, the rest went into the trash. We complained to Little Caesars, but they pretty much said they'd give us a few vouchers for free pizzas, but no money back.
I've also never been impressed with Papa John's pizza. I think the crust is a little too chewy. Plus a pizza that needs a dipping sauce just doesn't seem all that right.
