I taste no appreciable difference between the brands,

Either you don't have any taste buds, or you don't order pizza that often. A statement like this is like saying "I taste no appreciable difference between Coke and Pepsi".

Papa Johns' has an almost-sugary pizza sauce that I don't like that much. I also prefer pan pizza, but their default is that floppy NY pizza style. I consider them one of my least favorite option. Fucking Yum can't manage any of their brands.
Domino's used to suck about 15-20 years ago, but they have improved in every way now. Typically my go-to delivery, for a major chain brand.
Pizza Hut is still pretty good for pan pizza, but some think is greaser than others. They tend to use a lot of cheese, which is fine by me.
Little Caesars, absolute fucking garbage. I'd rather heat up a cheap pizza at home.
Cicis, barely above Little Caesars, about the same quality as Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Gattis
Jet's Pizza, really really good pan pizza, a bit more expensive, but better than old standards like Domino's or Pizza Hut.
Mellow Mushroom, Old Chicago, Blaze Pizza, all S-tier pizza restaurants, though they don't deliver. Making your own pizza with Blaze just makes it the top pick out of all of these.

I think Little Caesars is a different category of takeout pizza. It's hot - and it's ready. And it supports a company with a business model and mindset that are more than just decent.

Little Caesars is closer to a frozen pizza experience, but at least they are priced to match.

And, again, good morals. That matters to me in a company, honestly.

finally, someone else that hates Papa Johns sauce. Their garlic dip is on point from what I remember, but Jesus fuck their tomato sauce ruins everything it touches. Tomato sauce should be many things on pizza -- savory, salty, maybe slightly spiced, hell even just fucking bland and flavorless would be an improvement but not fucking sweet.

Aw, man... But back in the day when it was all you can eat for $5? Those were the days. Didn't matter that it wasn't the best -- it was alright, and you could have as much as you wanted. Walk out of there wondering how you managed to eat the equivalent of 6 entire large pizzas in one sitting... (Not counting crusts, of course. Why would you bother eating the crust when you can just grab 5 more fresh slices?)

To describe the ones you’ve listed, each and every one up until jet’s is nutrition. Something to avoid dying. I know there is a difference between them, but it is so minimal that I can’t care enough to subdivide between different forms of human fuel.

I can’t say I’ve ever had anything past jet’s so I won’t opine there. If they’re slightly pricier, have fresher dough, and appreciably higher quality ingredients, i’d probably agree. But I make my own pizza and sauce and sometimes topping, so it seems unlikely for me to try them and offer anything concrete

Sorry, it's just all garbage compared to a small greek or italian place, I don't even consider any of them a proper option in the first place.
