what are you ashamed to admit?

"Fast food pizza," i.e. Domino's, Pizza Hut, etc.

It's by no means great. But there are so many inconsistent-to-subpar New York-style pizzerias in my area (which is far from New York), and they all have the same recurring problems: greasy cheese, crust that's too tough or too thin (ultra-thin crust that isn't crispy is pretty gross), and occasionally a scorched pie from being baked in an oven that wasn't cleaned properly.

Wood-fired oven pizzerias are becoming more popular, but I'm not a huge fan of the almost-burnt crust.

There's one place near me that does Chicago-style pizza, but it's both relatively pricey and feels more like I'm eating a casserole than a pizza. Good, but I can't be eating anything that rich all the time.

So if I'm very tired, not feeling very adventurous, and just really craving pizza, I'll usually order up from some chain joint. It's not glamorous and it's not the pinnacle of dining, but it's consistent.
