I hope that doesnt mean you havent been stoned or drunk in years. No wonder that cat looks unhappy , give him some cat nip.
I'd have to say domino's just by theory of elimination. I hate pizza hut , and i promised to quit papa johns after they sponsored a bowl game 2 years ago and promised free pizza ... they had free pizza alright CHEESE ONLY , no toppings. ... thats what i call a "cheesy" promotion , F U Big Poppa !
I think the last time I had any of the ghetto pizza chains was about 4 years ago a bunch of us were starving before we started a late night poker game so I drove over to Little Ceasers and spent $30 and picked up a bunch of those $5 pepperoni pizzas that have been sitting under the heat lamp. I dipped that shit in some ranch dressing and guzzled my beers.
Papa Johns hands down for the taste. Imo, Papa Johns is the closest you will get to a real pizzeria tasting pizza. i have a friend that owns a pizzeria & its pretty good pizza but I would rather have Papa Johns every time. Its the most expensive out of any franchise tho which is the only thing that sucks.
- Pizza segment readies for Super Bowl rush
January 30, 2012 - Alicia Kelso
This Sunday, Feb. 5, marks the busiest day in the pizza business. And as the Super Bowl kicks off in Indianapolis, pizza companies have their teams ready for action.
The National Restaurant Association estimates that 48 million Americans will order takeout or delivery food from a restaurant while watching Sunday's game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. In addition, 12 million are expected to visit a restaurant or bar to watch the big game.
New NRA research also shows that pizza and chicken wings, as well as salsa/dips/spreads, are considered the biggest must-have foods at game day parties. Sixty-three percent of respondents said they will serve chicken wings for the game, while 61 percent said they'll serve pizza. These items are outpaced only by salsa, dips and spreads, at 69 percent.
"Sporting events and great food go hand in hand, so it is no surprise that millions of Americans will incorporate restaurants into their plans for watching the professional football championship game this year," said Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the Research and Knowledge Group for the NRA.
Chains step up their game ahead of the event
In preparation for the Super Bowl rush, many pizza chains have stepped up their game plans.
Papa John's, the Official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL, is hosting the Super Bowl XLVI Coin Toss Experience, which includes a free large one-topping pizza and 2-liter Pepsi MAX for those enrolled in the chain's rewards program. The giveaway is good only if fans correctly call the Super Bowl coin toss.
Papa John's recruited Super Bowl champions Peyton Manning and Jerome "The Bus" Bettis for its marketing blitz leading up to Super Bowl XLVI.
Last year for Super Bowl XLV, Papa John's set a single-day sales record by selling more than 1 million pizzas. Papa John's is in the second year of a multi-year sponsorship with the NFL.
Pizza Hut
Pizza Hut is raising the bar even higher, predicting sales of more than 2 million pizzas (or more than 16 million slices) on Super Bowl Sunday, boosted by the chain's $10 Any deal.:think2:
"There's no question that football's biggest day of the year will be the busiest day of the year at Pizza Hut," said Kurt Kane, Pizza Hut CMO. "Drivers, cashiers and cooks at more than 6,000 Pizza Hut restaurants are prepping for the madness of game day. With our famous $10 Any deal in place, we're prepared to sell more pizzas on Feb. 5 than any day in Pizza Hut history."
Pizza Hut reintroduced its popular $10 Any Pizza deal – any pizza, any crust, any size for $10 in early January.
Domino's Pizza
Domino's Pizza is predicting the sale of more than 11 million pizza slices for the Super Bowl. This equates to an 80 percent increase in sales from a typical Sunday for the chain.
Domino's anticipates almost 60 percent of pizza orders will be for pepperoni pizzas, with sausage being the second most popular topping for the big game.
"Every night in a Domino's store is a dress rehearsal for big days like Sunday," said Chris Brandon, Domino's Pizza spokesperson. "As friends and family gather around the TV to cheer on their favorite teams, it's a perfect occasion for Domino's to deliver pizza, pasta, sandwiches and wings. Our team is ready to tackle the anticipated rush with smart hustle and precision. We're poised and ready to deliver a great game day meal to millions of football fans nationwide."
Throughout the years, Domino's has observed how certain game day scenarios seem to affect sales. For instance, sales tend to increase when the game is close and viewers are glued to their TVs. Also, while both the New York and Boston Domino's stores will see high sales at the beginning of the game, the city of the winning team will likely see higher sales at the end of the night.
Pizza Patrón
Pizza Patrón has rolled out four new party paquetazos (combos) that each include chicken wings and pizza, just in time for those planning events and parties for the Super Bowl.

"This promotion is designed to remind customers that we have fantastic wings, and that Pizza Patrón is the one-stop shop for wings and pizza for their next party."
