Although local pizza purveyors have elevated pie crafting to a transcendent art, national chains have worked tirelessly to make it simple and easy for you to get a cheap, mass-produced pizza at any time of the day or night.
In the pantheon of pizza, the utility pie has its place, and I decided to see which major chain produces the best one.
So I ordered a plain, cheese pizza from Domino's Pizza,Pizza Hut, and Papa John's Pizza. In order to keep everything fair, I ordered one cheese pizza from each chain and had them delivered at the exact same time.
Here's how all of the pies stacked up.

![Sydney Ferbrache has lived in a van for the last two and a half years.While photos can make it look like Ferbrache is living the dream — flourishing hikes, picturesque mountains, and starry nights — she said that's just one aspect of the lifestyle.For Ferbrache, tiny living also involves sandy sheets, piles of dishes, and lasting impressions of raising a dog in her van. Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.Sydney Ferbrache is currently heading to Yellowstone National Park. For Ferbrache, the 3,500-square-mile park is more than canyons and nature, it's the place where she's felt the freest.The national park was the first destination on her journey of living full-time in a van. Two and a half years later, she's revisiting the park for the first time.Countless hikes, new friendships, and personal growth are positive takeaways from her lifestyle. But there are some less positive parts, too. Her van has 130,000 miles, she lives with broken appliances, and she's spent the last two years showering outdoors. "From a distance, [the van] looks beautiful and magnificent, but when you get up to the nitty-gritty, things are literally falling apart and hanging on by a thread," she told Insider.At the same time, there's not a thing about her lifestyle she would change, the 25-year-old said. A few years ago, Ferbrache was working full-time as a restaurant manager in Chicago, Illinois, while balancing a full college course load. After years of 70-hour workweeks, Ferbrache left the industry. A post shared by Sydney Ferbrache (@divineontheroad)Jul 26, 2020 at 3:00pm PDT She stumbled upon van life and started reading blogs, watching videos, and researching. She purchased and renovated a Ford Transit, and set out for Yellowstone National Park with her puppy, Ella.Over two years later and another dog added to the family, Ferbrache hasn't looked back. However, she did note that sometimes social media can create an idealistic version of reality."It's a beautiful life. When you pull up to the mountains and you have it all to yourself, it's an incredibly freeing feeling and that's what brings more and more people to this lifestyle," she said. "But the other side of things is also very real." @divineontheroad The real van tour. ##fy ##foryou ##fyp ##vanlife ♬ original sound - divineontheroad Ferbrache has a blog and podcast where she candidly discusses life in a van, and most recently, she took her TikTok followers on a "realistic van tour."Ferbrache shared with Insider a few aspects of the life people rarely gather from Instagram.
