We've only got three in NZ (near me at least, I'm sure there's more in the major cities):
Dominos
Hell Pizza
Pizza Hutt
All are pretty on par with each other imo. Dominos is thinner crusts but crisper. Pizza Hutt is doughier and more oily, but that's good if you're after something filling. Hell Pizza is the third option but I don't have one near me so I don't have a strong opinion on it. Probably a slightly better and more expensive Pizza Hutt?
And Pizza Plazza. They're kind of a cross between a homemade and a Dominos pizza. Quite nice. But they have a longer cook time and the nearby place closed down. They'd probably be 2nd?
Dominoes has improved a lot over the past couple years. I used to consider it the worst but now it's pretty decent. I haven't had pizza hut in decades. I haven't ordered papa John's since the one time I ordered it and they knocked on my back door and left when no one answered.
I really wonder if the people dismissing Domino's have had any since they revamped their pizza, which was like, eight years ago.
I still will go Pizza Hut over it any day of the week

the only time I eat anything pizza hut is when I go to one of the few remaining Pizza Bell locations, where I will get tacos and breadsticks, because I am trash

Yes, I hated it so I was curious about the revamp and it turned out they just made it taste like bad imitation Pizza Hut but with worse crust in a different way.
Pizza Hut is great in Canada and the UK, I've only had it once over here but it was really disappointing on every level from menu variety to quality of food.

I hear Pizza Hut is better in Canada so as someone who already likes it I'm extremely intrigued.
I really love it, and they have a great variety too. They used to do a crust variant (maybe they still do I unno) that wasn't at all greasy and would have toppings like maple bacon that worked really well. In the UK they're known for doing all kinds of bizarre food experiments like baking burgers and hot dogs into the crust.
My favorite pizza, hands-down is from a regional gas station, Casey's General Store. It's fuckin' amazing but their cheese tech is... well let's just say you gotta finish the pizza before it gets cold because there's no going back.
Hey the Mac n Cheese pizza is back right now!
Edit: We also recently got to try Circle K pizza and it was very good
I guess I have a different perspective on take out food, because I enjoy cooking, so if I'm getting take out, it either needs to be something I can't easily cook myself, or it needs to be something that's better than the frozen grocery store version of a thing I can't easily cook
My kitchen and oven are both too small to make pizza, like my counter is basically a plank, so it's difficult to make something like pizza, and my oven is so small I couldn't fit one in there anyways
So I would rather get good pizza that costs a little more than get two pizzas I won't particularly enjoy from a large chain like Domino's

Yeah, MOD is real good, and they're basically the same type of quick-fire pizza joint as Blaze.

I'm lucky. I live near Chicago, which has amazing pizza and because of it we get lots of chains out here with good Deep Dish on top of the national and local places.
We got a local place out in my town that just opened their second location and they have a lot of cool topping pizzas its called Tomato Bar and its real good.

I have always really liked Donatos and Mellow Mushroom.
Dunno how spread those chains are.

really though I don't think any of the national chains are good enough to get excited about, frankly
I generally prefer local joints
though I will go to town on some crazy bread

One time I got Crazy Bread with just oil (for a vegan friend who came over) and they baked it fresh and we all were drunk and in love with oily bread. It was so good

There are ton's of local places that I'd rather go to for actual good pizza though
Dominos
Hell Pizza
Pizza Hutt

Also they lose points for not letting me order the double cheeseburger pizza anymore
You specifically?
Specially their stuffed ones.
Maybe, it doesn't come up as an option on their website anymore. I never considered it could be a targeted move...
And I've had Little Caesar's like twice, because they did not exist in my area growing up
Domino's is the only national pizza chain that I have any degree of familiarity with

I think Pizza Hut and Dominos taste nothing alike
Humans are weird
I had it a few months ago, a friend insisted on it
It was still bad
Just a different type of bad from the awful corrugated cardboard crust from before the revamp
Like I'm not a big "local eater' or whatever, but I will eat local pizza every time if I get to choose

But a Dominos pan pizza? That's a good budget pizza

And Blaze is the best national chain pizza.

Walk-in Subway of Pizza Chain place?
Hell no!
Yeah dude. Their crust is so good. Good toppings. Actual thin crust pizza, made in a real pizza oven.

I've never heard of Blaze before this moment

It's super good! And they have Blue Sky soda in the fountain.
