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

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

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.

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."

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

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.

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 :(

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.

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

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
