Time for one of those hot button topics that are worse than politics. Namely, PIZZA!

1) What is the best pizza, in Rolla, regardless of price?
(can be sub-categorized by crust style)

2) What is the best pizza, in Rolla, taking price into account (but not points)?
(can be sub-categorized by crust style)


Note: side issues, like sides, are not to be taken into account. We are here to talk pizza, not discuss salad, calzones, baklava, or cheese balls. That being said, crust styles (thick, thin, and stuffed) should be considered, as well as the default crust styles of certain pizza places in Rolla (since several local establishments prefer thin).

Hmmmm.... If price is not a question, it's a tossup between Imo's and Alex's. I like Alex's crust a whole lot, but I like Imo's toppings so much more.

If price is an issue, probably Pizza Hut's Pizza Mia pizzas are the best.

I'm still a fan of the good ole hand tossed bacon from Dominos I got hooked on freshman year. I like Alex's more than Imos but I don't feel like I've eaten much with flat pizza. It's hella tasty and all but doesn't do much to fill me up

1) Imo's on all counts

2) Pizza Hut usually always has creative specials to inspire people to try their latest pizza. Domino's is by far the cheapest, especially with the seek42 special, but a semester into my time at Rolla I was burned out on their pizza. Too bland.

Alex's All Meat pizza is my favorite by far. it also helps that my name is Alex, so I just call it my pizza shop.

Honestly, coming from St. Louis, I'm happy with anything. Have you ever had a Pizza Hut or Dominoes pizza from somewhere not in Rolla? I have, and they're fucking terrible beyond belief. For some reason, Rolla has good major chain pizza places.

Of course, with that said, if price isn't a concern, I have to go with Alex's.

If price is an issue, it's hard to beat a Papa John's large pizza for $6.




Oh, and fuck Imo's.

1: Imos by far. I gotta love STL style pizza.
2: Dominos Seek42 special. Can't beat it.

fuck st louis style pizza. Sorry, but it tastes fine, costs a lot, and never fills you up. Pizza in my mind is a cheap decent meal that fills you up.

1) Little Caesars sausage stuffed crust is amazing, extra grease, parmesan, and awesome stuffed crust.

2) Cant beat dominoes

I never liked Alex's, the food and service was always subpar

Imos all the way

Ah, but see, then you have to eat Papa John's.

Pizza Hut > Dominoes > Little Ceasers > Papa Johns in terms of chains. That is based on taste.

Imos is good but not great. Chicago deep dish is fucking awesome, not sure of any places around here that actually know how to make that though.

If price is an issue I'll stick with my pepperoni hot pockets.

Gino's Pizza located in Tennessee (which I believe was a chicago-style pizza) is the absolute hands-down best pizza I've ever had.

But around here, I prefer Papa Johns.

Adding more fuel to the fire, a brief list of Pizza places in Rolla

Pizza Hut
Dominoes
Imo's
Papa John's
Little Caesar's
Alex's
Pizza Inn
Godfather's Pizza
Pryor's Pizza
Casey's Gas Station Carryout

(Google Maps ...)

I gotta say Papa Johns is the best, and at 6 bucks for a large it's not a bad deal either.

For some reason, I just don't like Dominoes that much. I mean, I'll eat a brooklyn style pizza, but it's kind of iffy since they don't always turn out the same way.

Pryors has nice carpeting. Pretty good pizza from what I can remember. Only ate there once and there was some little kid running around with no shirt on. Is it a family owned business? When I went there grandma was cooking and the waitress seemed like she was 14 years old.
