Pizza Confidential! Five Worst Chains Are All In Massachusetts (2024)

I don't know, Massachusetts. Would it be a fair assessment to make that it's easier to find low-quality fast food than high quality? Me personally, I'm fairly easy to please and I have to say that it's rare that I'm served a truly awful meal.

Most people I know, however, seem to get bad meals all the time. And here's another thing. For all of the popular chain restaurants that we don't have locally (or even in this state, for crying out loud!) such as Waffle House, Steak & Shake, Bojangles, and Whataburger, we certainly have all of the worst pizza chains well represented.

Delishably.com conducted a study on the worst pizza chains in the US. The main criteria factored in was the all-important taste factor. Before we get started, allow me to say that I've had pizza from all of these chains and while some were better than others, I cannot claim that any were truly BAD.

5. Pizza Hut
According to Delishably, Pizza Hut is the least worst of the Top 5. I guess that's a small consolation. I confess I recently had pizza and wings from the Hut and both were dynamite! Pizza Hut has several locations across the Bay State including locally.

Pizza Chain Chuck E. Cheese Files For Bankruptcy Protection

1. Chuck E. Cheese's
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I LIKE the pizza from Chuck E. Cheese's. It could be a nostalgia thing bringing me back to when I was a kid but I've never had a bad pizza from the Chuckmeister. Currently, there are only 5 locations left in Massachusetts. And the closest location is actually in another state. Latham, New York.
