That's because the majority of people who live outside New York City don't know what REAL pizza is! The franchise stuff was created for them.
I'm from Philadelphia and I've visited New York ever since I was a little boy. While NYC is definitely a pizza city, Philly isn't that far behind. Some of the pizza in my city is to die for! My favorite local places actually exist outside the city in Delaware County! I love me some Cocco's, Pat's Pizzeria, Just Pizza, and many, many more!
Gwoing up outside Philly, there were so many good mom/pop pizza places, I do not know how any of these chains ever made it up there. Living in Maryland, people seem to buy pizza based on price... go figure..
By the way, Wegmans pizza (fresh made/baked in store) is my favorite down here and rivals Philly Pizza.
Well, I said they are all crap, and I don't think I am pretentious. I just like a few of the local Italian eateries a lot better...there is no comparison really. Big difference in taste.
Same here. I live in NJ and work in NYC, but some parts of this country just don't have real pizza places and so the chains are their best bet for reliability.
Of the big chain pizza places, my favorite is Papa John's thin crust pizza topped with pepperoni and ground sausage. I usually don't buy it unless they're either having a special on large-sized pizzas or if I have a coupon.
