(stuff on freezing pizza deleted)
It seems we need two (or maybe three) categories - best resturant,
best take-out, and best Pizza as food.
We used to order a lot of dominos from the one on Kirby
and it was as good as most pizza I've eaten, but when we moved near UH,
the Domino's over there wasn't worth eating, freezing, or giving to the dog.
So, even though they are a franchise, the quality varies. At their best
I agree that they are good.
I've never eaten pizza in Chicago, so "chicago style" just means thick
crust/deep dish style to me. Best I ever had was years ago in a place I can't
remember the name of in Denver.
We occasionally get Star take-out, so I guess it is my favorite pizza
as food, but a good Domino's is head and shoulders over Pizza Hut, Inn, or
Little Ceasar's.
