More than 44,000 U.S. diners in a YouGov survey picked Pizza Hut as the best-tasting fast-food pizza chain, with 19.1% of votes versus Domino's 17.1%.
The ranking, based on responses collected from March 2025 to February 2026, points to Pizza Hut's long-term consumer affinity and nostalgia appeal, especially among older Americans, YouGov said.
Papa Johns placed third at 11.4%, followed by Little Caesars at 5.3% and Marco's Pizza at 4.7%, underscoring how legacy national chains still dominate recognition.
More than one in five respondents still chose local or regional pizzerias over national brands, showing independents remain a strong rival even as frozen pizza sales hit about $7 billion in 2024.

With most diners believing local pizzerias are better, are the national pizza chains fighting a losing battle for relevance?

Pizza Hut won America's taste test, so why is tech-focused Domino's the brand with the more successful business and growth strategy?

Is the future of pizza about nostalgic comfort food or will it be defined by AI, robots, and delivery drones?
