Donato's is slightly better than Papa John's, but both are pretty good by chain pizza standards. Here's how I rank them:

Donato's - The best. Don't have it as often as I'd like due to price.
Marco's - A very good, and significantly cheaper alternative.
Papa John's - A very small step down, but still very good pizza.
Domino's - The changes they made a few years ago helped greatly (old recipe was inedible).
Giorgio's - A little blander than the first four, but still best option for "hot and ready" pies.
Little Caesars - Another good option, especially if you don't want to order. "Detroit style" deep dish is awesome.
Pizza Hut - If you can get a good deal, avoid the pan crust, don't buy any sides (too little food for the money), and just order enough for that meal (doesn't hold up well cold), Pizza Hut can be a good option.

Did I miss anybody in regards to national chains?

I can get on board with this. Dominos above Papa John's for me just because of their superior pan crust.

We don't have Giorgio's. Donatos left Orlando years ago also, though I believe it started down here.

Honestly, Minnesota is pretty sparse when it comes to non-chain pizza. Italian immigrants must have avoided this state because I've never seen most of the places y'all are listing. :laugh:

My guilty pleasure is sneaking over to Old Hilliard for DiCarlo's. It's not quite as good as it is in Stubenville, but still very tasty!

Donatos started in Cbus on Thurman ave. I used to work down there and the pizza was great then. Now it's mass produced and tastes like it.

Benny's in Marysville. Leb's in my little hamlet of Ostrander. LC for chains because you can get it without ordering. Sauce isn't as sweet as I like but crust is good.

All have great Pizza.

Papa Johns slogan should be "For people who don't know any better"
