Yeah, as you get closer to NYC and on the island, some of the places are hit-and-miss. Most of the pizza parlors in NJ are pretty good, though. Only issue I've had is there seems to be a slow encroachment of fakers, making pizza that's kind of bland and they all taste the same.
As far as the fast food pizzas (Papa John's, Pizza Hut, etc), a lot of the mom and pop places have just as good prices and the pies are larger, so unless the fast food types have some super deal, its not worth it.
oh yeah, and get Sutekh his fucking Snuggie already.
