Yeah that's not what you said, moving those goalposts!

"Unironically really fucking good pizza"

I can’t believe I’m about to do this. It’s not “really fucking good” but it (was) better than most other regional/national chains or buffets.  This is all tempered by the fact I haven’t been in one for maybe 20 years so ymmv.

Peter Piper used actual pizza ovens with rotating pizza stones that the pizzas sat on. Most chains use conveyer style ovens, the pizza goes through either in a pan or directly on the belt.  Either way: the surface area and direct heat in a real oven will crisp and blister the crust while conveyer pizza is going to be sort of limp and sometimes soggy like she always complains about. A quick google shows that at least some Piper locations use the real ovens. And they will absolutely give a nicer, crispier crust with more similarities to a NY pie, although the rest of the dough is a bit different. 
 

I also seem to recall their sauce being tangier and less sweet than Pizza Hut or Dominoes or the like which I prefer. For toppings and cheese: who are we kidding it’s all the same shit. None of the places in this price point are using artisanal meat or fresh mozzarella or imported San Marzano tomatoes theu simmer in house. 
 

At the buffet or carry out price point it was a notch above unless you have a local joint that does slices and uses a real oven. But you have to subject yourself to the arcade noise.
