(Some Guy) Obvious Since Herman Cain announced he was running for President, Godfather's Pizza has come to be viewed more positively by Republicans, more negatively by Dems. Independents have always thought it was soggy cardboard   (brandindex.com) divider line 95

Democrats are such bigots they will boycott a restaurant once run by Cain? What a bunch of maroons.

Republicans are so desperate to knock out Obama, they are willing to admit Godfathers is good food.

There is no hope for the US anymore if the democrats crap on a chain that hasn't employed Cain in over a decade.

What about people who had never head of Godfather's Pizza before Cain entered the race? Should we assume the independents are right and it's just soggy cardboard covered in ketchup?

I always thought godfather's sucked. Now it's not just shiatty pizza-- it's crazy pie.
 
2011-11-17 11:04:48 PM
I ate there once. It was not good at all, and I actually like Pizza Hut and Papa John's.

To be fair, if Democrats crap on the chain, it would improve the flavor.

I just looked it up on their website and the closest Godfather's Pizza to me is a limited menu location at a truck stop in Villa Rica, GA. I think this means ketchup-covered cardboard.

I've always been meh on Godfather's because the nearest one to me is 15 miles away. I've got probably half a dozen Papa Johns, Pizza Huts and Dominos that are closer plus numerous other smaller chains and local joints.
 
2011-11-17 11:07:12 PM
How is Godfather's Pizza? I've never had it. Is it Pizza Hut gross? Domino's meh? Or Papa John's at least it's better than the other two?
 
2011-11-17 11:09:53 PM
I honestly thought they'd been out of business for at least a decade or more.

It's pretty bad. The only Godfather's near me is housed inside a gas station.

Coincidentally the one closest to me is also at a truck stop in Barstow, CA.

Both sides are bad...

... So vote Republican?

There's one Godfather's Pizza in Michigan, and it's in Kalamazoo. I don't care who used to be employed by them. I'm not driving 4 hours for a pizza. I don't care much for Cain's fiscal ideas, but if I ever find myself in the Kalamazoo area, I'll give the pizza a try.

It's a lot like pizza hut.

What I always hated about it is that they'd apply the sauce, then the toppings, then the cheese, meaning that when the cheese started to congeal it'd slide off and chin-slap you with toppings and sauce, which was usually still hot as hell thanks to being insulated by the cheese and toppings.

The only Godfathers pizza left in a 50 mile radius is run in a convenience store next to a trailer park. And not the good kind of trailer park.

I'd rather go to Palios, we have more of them than i'Fratteli shops and they have a fuller menu.

/North Dallas has competition for pizza due to all the Yankees who moved here.

It was actually really good once upon a time... but towards the late 80's the pizza began to suck ass and the restaurants began to look like shiat (like nobody gave a crap or bothered to clean or take care of them), and by the early 90's the two locations in my city had closed their doors. I haven't eaten it since.

beta_plus: Domino's meh?

You take that back. Domino's is the junk food of pizza. The McDonald's of hamburgers. The Arby's of Chicago beef. The Taco Bell of Mexican food. You don't buy it when you're looking for class and sophistication, you buy it because it's damn tasty and you're too drunk to notice the 5,000 ingredients per slice.

Should be a self-correcting behavior if they make the jump from merely talking about it to actually eating it.

Godfather's fried-angel-food-cake crust ranks alongside Papa John's puke-sweet sauce in the pantheon of pizza-wrecking ingredients.
 
2011-11-17 11:24:12 PM
Don't have a Godfather's Pizza around here. But from the looks of that "Taco Pizza", it looks pretty cheap and disgusting.
 
2011-11-17 11:27:07 PM
i'm square in the middle of kalamazoo and just took a shower bong rip... and lived here 7 years and still haven't been there. i'd pass roma's, erbelli's, cottage inn, bilbos, papa petes... hmmm
 
2011-11-17 11:34:54 PM
I'm no pizza snob. I think pizza is a lot like sex - when it's good, it's really good; and when it's bad, it's still pretty good.
 
2011-11-17 11:35:32 PM
I've only ever seen Godfather's pizza sold in gas stations, that tells me all I need to know about it's quality.
 
2011-11-17 11:36:37 PM
I just looked it up, apparently the only Godfather's within a 20 mile radius of Chicago is right near me, up in Uptown. I looked it up on Google streetview and two things strike me; first, the windows appear to be boarded up and there's no signage whatsoever; and second, there's a bunch of scummy-looking dudes chilling out on the corner. Funny enough, my stripper ex lived right around the corner from there; I must have passed it a hundred times and never noticed. Don't think I'll be visiting anytime soon. They do deliver here though...hmm...

pizen: What about people who had never head of Godfather's Pizza before Cain entered the race?

As one of those people, I need to have an answer.

I'm a New Englander. We *have* chain pizza, but we're more likely to call the Greek/Armenian/Egyptian/Italian guy who has the local sub shop, 'cause his food is better.

reason #2345 why I could never leave New England. Y'all don't have sub shops.

It is gas station pizza. I think that answers your question.

I'm pretty sure the last time I ate chain pizza was in college, b/c Domino's would deliver to the dorm and take dining points.

There's a place by me, Roast Beef and Pizza King on Highland Ave in Somerville MA that does an OUTSTANDING pepperoni and feta. And then there's Cinderella's, on Main st in Medford MA that has the best pizza sauce I have ever tasted.

I have been making my own sauce for *YEARS* and I have never tasted anythign like this. Difficulty: the crust suuuuckkked.

No, little Ceasers is the McDonalds of pizza. Domino's is sawdust shaped into a circle with with red sauce and yellow oil on top.

Pizza Hut is the Hardee's of Pizza.

*gif of mother farking subway bullshiat*


oh. Oh you poor dear. Come to New England. Go to literally any town, city or hamlet. Hell, you can even go to Connecticut, and you will find a local sub shop. And in that sub shop, you will find a surly Mediterranean man who will make you a sandwich for which your taste buds will sing an aria.

And it will be about $5-7.
 
2011-11-17 11:50:32 PM
I ate at a Godfather's a couple of times in St. Joseph, Missouri. The calzone was adequate.
 
2011-11-17 11:51:00 PM
I looked it up: the nearest one to me is 116 miles away, in Virginia. If I'm going to make an extended effort to get pizza, I'll just go to Chicago or New York City. So unless it's life-alteringly good, I'll pass.
 
2011-11-17 11:51:56 PM
Used to go to the Godfather's buffet pretty regularly when it cost $5.50. A couple months after Cain started his campaign, they jacked up the price to $9 literally overnight. I know the extra $3.50 wasn't actually going to Cain's campaign, but I couldn't shake the feeling.

Their prices are the real problem, not the quality. When a large costs $8 at Papa John's, $10 at Pizza Hut, and $17 at Godfather's, you're not going to see me in there unless there's some pretty sweet coupons/specials happening.

Not sure where you're getting your information, since tfa doesn't claim anyone's doing any boycotting, but they *would* be morons if they boycotted a pizza chain for that reason alone. That would be just as dumb as when you people boycotted Heinz ketchup because John Kerry's wife's previous husband's family used to own the company.

Remember that?

No?

Hrm. It looks like the only ones in all of NE is one in Hampton NH and one in Palmer MA.

Now, Palmer I understand. That the ass end of nowhere. But Hampton NH? Really? A tourist town? The only beach in all of New Hampshire?

...intrigued....

Every town has one of those?? Wow... They sent me to Spencah, MA for a few weeks in '08, and when we stumbled on that place I just thought we were lucky to be stuck in that particular town.

Owner was friendly and happy, though.

Look, Phil. Sorry, Herupodude. People don't refuse to eat at Godfathers because of politics. They do it because the pizza is terrible. Hell, it makes Dominoes look like fine dining. .

...you mean Spencer?

I have never ever been in a town in New England that did not have a pizza/sub shop. I was in VT a few weekends ago, and the whole town was destroyed by Irene. The grocery store was a tent. The roads were flooded, there were houses upside down in the river, the hotel where my cousin was having her wedding had half the electricity turned on.

The sub shop was up and running.

My uncle spent 4 straight weeks turning on power and whatnot before stopping to literally shave, have a beer, and walk his daughter down the isle. He said that every little tiny, 6 and 1/2 people townlett they went to, the pizza place had a generator and they were at least selling slices.

It's a thing here. We don't like chains.

Depending on the ethnicity of the owner, you will get an amazing gyro, an eggplant parm to die for, a falafel sandwich you will lobby for marriage rights with, or an arancini ball to cuddle with.

Seconded. Little Caesars may be just another generic mass-production pie, but at $5 for a large single-topping? It's McDominoHut pizza at Totino's frozen pizza prices. They're untouchable in the price range they've reached.

"By the time I've gotten drunk and banged a fat chick, all the good local pizza joints are closed." -Herman Cain

I live in a fun food town but still get drunk and order chain pizza when I can't drive or even operate the money slot on public transit. It's the Taco Bell principle - the shiat's just there and you need it. Unlike Taco Bell they deliver. We do have good local joints but they all close too early.

There are some really good delis that deliver 24 hours, but sometimes you just want to save a few bucks because you aren't gonna remember eating it anyway.
 
2011-11-18 12:23:16 AM
Eh, it's just one of a million places in New York and other places outside of Chicago that pretend they know anything about pizza. Godfathers, Little Ceasars, Dominos, louie's place on 53rd in NYC, you know the type...soggy crust, pizza you can fold, etc.
 
2011-11-18 12:32:33 AM
I used to manage a Godfathers. My Pizza was the best in town. Then I found an actual job. And the place went downhill. The biggest problem is that since they are franchises, the owners refuse to do any work to make the stores respectable. You can make a great pizza, but if the establishment is crap and looks like a dump, you won't always have customers. Yes, i know there is an exception to that rule, as i'm sure there are a few pizza places that look like dumps and the customer service sucks, but you have the best possible pizza you could get your hands on. When i was there, i took great care in making sure it was cleaned up, taken care of, and that i always put out a good product. But hey, i don't work there anymore for you to come and test that out!

However, you seriously need to find some of his "Training" video's he made when he was CEO. They are some Low Quality flix. Also, lets google the term BEAMer from his Burger King Days. Even better stuff.

\Seriously, my golden crust would literally melt in your mouth.
\\Still want to get my hands on a bag of there crust mix again, just to make my own golden's again.
 
2011-11-18 12:37:56 AM
The crust of Godfather's Pizza is thicker than cardboard - it's very 'bready'.

Their buffet once upon a time was decent, but I haven't eaten there for years...
