View Full Version : Pizza and fast food power rankings
Dogfighter28 07-17-2015, 10:14 AM Two lists.. one for pizza chains, one for fast food. Rule is must be at least a major regional chain, or a national chain. Bonus points if you bold the establishment in each list that gives you the shits.
I'll be doing my lists countdown style from worst to best.
PIZZA
13. CiCis
12. Little Caesars
11. Chuck E. Cheese
10. Uncle Maddio's
9. Pizza Hut
8. Sbarro
7. Dominos (special shoutout to the pan pizza, which was amazing for a year, and then they tanked all the ingredients once people were hooked and it sucks ass now. fuck you dominos)
Papa Johns (I hope you are ready for a colon blowout when you order the Papa
Imo's
California Pizza Kitchen
Snappy Tomato
Marco's
Mellow Mushroom
NOTES
-I've never had Hungry Howie's or Gino's, heard mixed reviews of each.
-I have seen Papa Murphy's and Pizza Inn and my understanding is both are CiCi's grade.
-I loved Roundtable and Godfathers pizza when I was a wee lad, but can't confirm now. I also loved Little Caesers and Chuck E Cheese but you know those are bad.
-Local Pizza I've enjoyed over the years in various places: Rita's, Cecil Whitaker's, Chanello's, Fellini's, Antico, Blue Moon.
Really the takeaway here is Marco's is the best national delivery chain, and I would definitely check it out if you haven't I had it while at the beach last year and sincerely thought it was a local establishment until I found one near Atlanta. It has a pretty good national presence. I recommend pineapple, italian sausage, and the two kinds of pepperoni they have as the best toppings (not necessarily together).

FAST FOOD
22. Long John Silver's
21. Captain D's
20. Checkers/Rally's (the WORST. and poor people eat it because a triple is like a dollar. it should be illegal)
19. Dairy Queen
18. Burger King
17. Sonic
16. McDonald's
15. KFC
14. Krystal/White Castle (this is a go to for masochistic overeating)
13. Zaxby's (you have to pay 25 cents for a packet of sauce, fuck you)
12. Whataburger (sorry guys. just didnt vibe with it)
11. Subway
10. Arby's (IMPORTANT: NIHILIST ARBY'S TWITTER (https://twitter.com/nihilist_arbys?lang=en)
9. Five Guys (It's been tanking recently)
8. In 'n Out (overrated tho)
7. Hardee's / Carls Jr. (breakfast biscuits elevates this one above the pack)
6. Chipotle
5. Panera Bread
4. Chik fil A
3. Taco Bell
2. Wendy's
1. Shake Shack (love at first bite, really)
Special shoutout to Cookout, where you can get a double cheeseburgers, TWO sides, and a drink for 5 dollars. This is America. http://www.cookout.com/
I frequent 2-5 as they are close to my work. I'm a variety guy so I appreciate wendy's and taco bell for their spread of value menu items. Go to items are chicken quesadilla, cheesy gordita crunch, and the #1 at wendys
I probably missed some prominent establishments in this list but will update if I see you guys ******* them.
Happy eating and no anti-fat food tryhards please
Eulogy 07-17-2015, 10:24 AM I will totally get down on this when I am in front of a computer
Mals Marola 07-17-2015, 11:34 AM in the past half-year i've pretty much sworn off taco bell after a series of vomitting, raw meat, & just general shitty service/leaving shit out practically every time we'd go
howie's is more or less the go-to place for hunger after 12 am now, though it is somewhat of a gamble. though not nearly as much of one as TB seemed to be
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 11:45 AM this taco bell is known for its lovely customer service and food better than other taco bells. i've not been.

if you're ever in town, give it a go for old times sake

It is as wonderful as everyone says. Seriously.
Eulogy 07-17-2015, 11:49 AM Although the last time wasn't quite up to par. But I've been there quite a few times. Top notch stuff.
Eulogy 07-17-2015, 11:50 AM Fuck you guys now I want Taco Bell
Dogfighter28 07-17-2015, 11:50 AM I'm mad they got rid of the volcano taco :(
hnibos 07-17-2015, 11:53 AM You don't have Popeyes on your list. You must repent. I mean I've never even heard of Marcos or shake shack but you don't have popeyes? Pshhh

sure, as bad as some of my experiences with that one here, they weren't quite as damning as my friend's alleged "cum whopper" from burger king
haven't had checkers in a while, but, those fries... :o

I simply haven't had it enough. Like one time when I was 10
ohnoitsbonnie 07-17-2015, 12:08 PM We have a Little Caesars in central Nj now and it received no Bonnie stars out of 9 Bonnie stars
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 12:09 PM this thread is so stupid.
Dogfighter28 07-17-2015, 12:13 PM i find it hard to believe anyone who likes cheeseburgers would dislike shake shack. and the chocolate shake was the best i've ever had in my life.

yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 12:13 PM captain d's over long john silver? :rofl:
wendy's over dairy queen? :rofl:
subway over anything? :rofl:
Dogfighter28 07-17-2015, 12:14 PM tbh anything below five guys is pretty bad
Mals Marola 07-17-2015, 12:15 PM subway-hate is a forever-bafflement to me
guess some folk just haven't tried the right sandwich
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 12:16 PM tbh anything below five guys is pretty bad
that's where you're wrong, dummy. you just have bad vanilla taste when it comes to food.
you don't know what good is.
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 12:18 PM dairy queen beats every burger place you mentioned. and their ice-cream, handmade shakes and limeade really kick up the menu. nevermind. i'm thinking of braum's with their bad-ass treats, but dairy queen has got it going on, too.
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 12:20 PM let's make two lists ... one for pizza chains, one for fast food. but there are some arbitrary rules i made up according to my list. i'm bringing everyone together. isn't this fun?!
Dogfighter28 07-17-2015, 12:24 PM watch out everyone she's coming down from her manic phase
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 12:27 PM watch out byron is getting defensive over another dumb thread. you keep making them, pal, it's all you.
Dogfighter28 07-17-2015, 12:28 PM oh the irony
freshfacedyouth 07-17-2015, 12:28 PM pizza hut forever the best, little caesars forever the worst
five guys forever the best, subway forever the worst
ohnoitsbonnie 07-17-2015, 12:46 PM 25 Burgers
ilikeplanets 07-17-2015, 12:59 PM which fast food makes me sickest:
5. little caesar's
4. taco bell
3. burger king
2. mcdonalds
1. panda express
sppunk 07-17-2015, 02:01 PM Shake Shack shouldn't joint on this list. I think I've only eaten at teo of those pizza places (PH, Mellow Mushroom).
myosis 07-17-2015, 02:04 PM subway-hate is a forever-bafflement to me

they all taste the same to me. even the veggies taste like subway. eat fresh.

any quiznos sub >>>> any subway sub
Eulogy 07-17-2015, 02:34 PM Subway is pretty gross.
Never had shake shack.
hnibos 07-17-2015, 03:25 PM Yeah subway is awful
Tchocky 07-17-2015, 03:50 PM I just had an Italian BMT.
Enough of that chipotle sauce will make almost any Subway palatable.
mxzombie 07-17-2015, 03:53 PM 1. Fried egg w/toast
2. White rice
slunken 07-17-2015, 06:56 PM 1. Fried egg w/toast
2. White rice
3. Eternal shame
vixnix 07-17-2015, 07:06 PM I like Grill'd, here in Australia.
But for fast food, I like Asian soups the best.
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 07:07 PM 3. Eternal shame
5 minutes on the stove. eat it up with a spoon.
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 07:08 PM alt response: ain't no shame in my game
slunken 07-17-2015, 07:23 PM From what I can remember the Rally's/Checkers Big Buford is/was amazing. I rememver the old ads of a basketball player eating it and spilling it all over his new sneakers. the slogan was "if it doesn't get all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face."
word.
Mals Marola 07-17-2015, 07:49 PM quizno's is alright but they all seemed to shut down overnight
i'll level that there are certainly better subs, just like there are obv better coffees than starbucks & the main reason people go is cos there's one around every corner. but still, get a spicy italian with onions, chipotle, & a coupla other choice ingredients? don't tell me that's bad, you are just wrong
Mals Marola 07-17-2015, 07:50 PM Enough of that chipotle sauce will make almost any Subway palatable.
pretty much
or sriracha
reprise85 07-17-2015, 08:42 PM any quiznos sub >>>> any subway sub
yeah but firehouse subs doe
the best
engineer sub on wheat motherfucker
MyOneAndOnly 07-17-2015, 08:51 PM All pizza chains SUCK!
I ate at Culvers today and I was not ashamed because butter burgers and I was in Milwaukee for work with other people from my office and I basically had no choice. But it was good
yo soy el mejor 07-17-2015, 09:12 PM subway emits the most awful scent
sppunk 07-17-2015, 09:38 PM subway emits the most awful scent
It does. I have no idea how anyone can stomach walking in one or actually eating anything.
A simple rule I have is never to eat a sandwich at a place without a meat slicer.
MyOneAndOnly 07-17-2015, 10:00 PM food babe says it's the smell of yoga mats chemicals
ohnoitsbonnie 07-17-2015, 11:49 PM NJ has so many sub places that idk why anyone would go to subway. At least here.
While in Australia, I dreamt of sub sandwiches. I went to subway in Gordon and they didn't have oil and vinegar as a topping :(
vixnix 07-18-2015, 12:03 AM I worked at Subway in Wellington and we had oil and vinegar there. And a meat slicer out the back. And half the job was prepping veggies to go in the cabinet. I dunno if it's still like that though. As a vegan, a foot long veggie sub with no cheese and oil and vinegar dressing for $4.95 was pretty good.
And yeah the smell...but they all do that. I think kfc is the worst.
Mals Marola 07-18-2015, 04:30 AM subway's always smelt like hot bread when i've gone in there
though i will say, when they take too long between changing the lettuce, that can be pretty offensive to the taste buds
Order 66 07-18-2015, 09:24 AM even though it's mostly bullshit subway is "healthy" it did help me change my eating habits. it was sort of my training wheels when i was trying to lose weight
as for fast food jack in the crack was my go to hangover food. whataburger also filled this purpose (rip trots)
pizza... people shitting on pizza chains are like beer snobs. subjective and all, but pretty much all of them are good. papa john's is my favorite because of the bread, but that's just my preference. dominos is great with their online customization thingy. another fantastic hangover cure... you can barely get out of bed, so just make the greasiest pizza possible and have it delivered. pizza hut has great deep dish, but it's probably the lower tier chain. the little ceasers $5 pizza is a steal
man i miss being fat
MyOneAndOnly 07-18-2015, 09:53 AM subway is the worst
