The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th images are more insulting to pizza than the kind being hated on.

I like pineapple on pizza. Although I would never do that to an actually good pizza, around here all I can get is Pizza Hut, Papa John's, and Domino's, and that shit needs all the help to not suck that it can get.

Dominos got a bit better since the entire "improve our recipe" thing.
Pizza Hut around where I live is shit-tacular.
Papa John's is somewhere in the middle.

There's plenty of local chains around here, but this is where I go most of the time. They've got a place within walking distance, plus it's got a full bar. Can order delivery until 3am.

Nah, I order from all three from time to time. I've got some Domino's in the fridge right now. It's edible. But it's still not very good pizza, relatively speaking.

I wish I could find somewhere down here that actually understood the concept of deep dish pizza. Here's a hint: it doesn't mean a three-inch thick crust with a thin layer of cheese and meat on top.

I don't find any pizza joint to be particularly awesome. Edible, yes. Great pizza? No.

I make my own, and it's awesome.

Go check out Myle's Pizza in Bowling Green sometime. It's my fave.

How "from scratch" do you get? Make your own dough? Sauce? I would know your secrets, because I try to make pizza too and so far I give my own a C+.

The best I've made from scratch I'd give a B or B+. It was grilled, and it was pretty awesome.

I can do my own crust, but I'm not big on it. It's a lot of time for little reward since I make thin crust pizzas. (Haven't tried a deep dish yet.)

There are different folks in the world of pizzas. Some think the crust makes a pizza. I am not that type of person.

For me, it's about the sauce and the toppings. Yes, I make my own sauce, and I only use fresh toppings.

For me, the crust matters a lot. That being said, it's a lot of work. Our local Harris Teeter's actually have pretty good pizza crust, especially if you grill it. So to me, it's more the how than the what. Grilled with olive oil -> Awesome.

Sauce also means a lot to me, but making my own is a ton of work, and Dei Fratelli sauce is already pretty awesome.

I have never encountered a crust that was worth going nuts over. However, I've had some shitty crusts that ruin a pizza.

My belief is that your crust should be good enough to hold your toppings, while not taking away from them by being doughy, bad tasting, etc.

On my pizza, there's only about a quarter of an inch of crust showing anyway.

Crust counts majorly. Just thin crust, Leish? Damn. That's like only drinking light beer.

There's a lot to be said for thin crust, whether you mean Italian/cracker style, or NY doughier style.
