It's fine. They have some interesting topping combinations that you can't get at most regular pizza places, but otherwise there's nothing really special about their ingredients or prep and they charge more than they're worth.

I thought it was good until I actually ate there and it was just another corporate chain with bland high penny pinch margins food.

It's decent. I don't actively seek it out though. If I'm going to sit down at a restaurant that sells pizza, I'd rather go to Shakey's Pizza.

I've never heard of it and after googling it I see why. It's one of those restaurants that weirdly hasn't opened any locations in LA (like Sonic Drive-In). Closest one is nearly 20 miles from me lol

It's fine, I went there one time with a client to discuss brand deals and projects. The serving size was definitely small for the amount of money they charge you, but at least it tasted good.

Funny enough, I happen to live between less than 20 minutes away from the nearest Sonics which is crazy there's not a lot of them here lol. When I went back home to Texas to visit my old friends, there was like a Sonic in almost every corner.

No one said that. People eat food that they are capable of recognizing is trash all the time. They just accept that not everything that they have to like is high quality.

East coast generally makes better, fattening, fulfilling af pizza while this California style is essentially burning a weak ass .7 inch disc in a oven with some crap on it and then selling it for $20.

It is what it is.

What if somebody from the east coast moved to California and made pizza there

does it automatically suck then?

If he brought the recipe with him, nope. They'd be rolling in (dough) actually. Someone's gotta be the rebel.

As someone who grew up in the northeast, lived in Chicago, and now lives in California (bay area, used to live in San Diego), yeah, I'll take NY or Chicago tavern or deep dish over just about any California place.

Luckily Berkeley has some great pizza places, although one is a Chicago style place from former Chicagoans lol.

Correct. And the quantifier of "America" is very important because America is one of the only places in the world where food quality is utterly ignored for the sake of making as much money as is humanly possible. Thus they never said what you did.

When I lived in northern Cali our favorite pizza spot was one opened up by a family from either Jersey or New York, it was amazing. They complained that the water made the dough a little different but it tasted like any easy coast pizza I ever had.

It wasn't the only pizza place I liked, but it was the only east coast style one. There's plenty of good pizza on the west coast, you just have to find a good restaurant like any other food. People that say stuff like X food is bad in X place are generally just too attached to whatever style they grew up eating.

No, they are using the cheapest. Just because you are willing to work for less doesn't make you the worst. Tough luck about the quality of the food, however, as the food quality is pretty much tied to the cost.

You need to work on your language, you keep saying wild nonsense.
