Battle of the Brands: Pizza Hut vs. Domino's

This post is part of our Battle of the Brands feature. Let us know which brand you prefer, and check out other Battle of the Brands posts.

How to compare the two dominant pizza brands, Yum! Brands Inc.'s (NYSE: YUM) Pizza Hut vs. Domino's Pizza Inc. (NYSE: DPZ)?

Most annoying ads? The wing man series by Pizza Hut is a recent annoyance, but Domino's still, in my mind, has not lived down the ignominy of its Noid commercials in the 1980s.

Most obscene side-dishes? What in the hell are dipping strips? Like we don't realize they're just pizza dough with goo indistinguishable from the plaque clogging our arteries. Bad Pizza Hut! Bad!

Size? Pizza Hut -- 12,800 outlets in 90 countries. Domino's -- 8,624 outlets in 55 countries.

Corporation? Domino's is dwarfed by Yum! Brands, owner of Pizza Hut as well as Taco Bell and KFC.

Taste? (Subjectivity warning) I'm rarely in the mood for tomato sauce smeared on cardboard, so I'm not a regular Domino's customer. In fact, I don't accept the notion that delivery pizza is anything but the sad yokel cousin of the real, hot from the oven pie. Since Domino's made its nut in the delivery business while Pizza Hut has sit-down locations, on this factor alone I declare the Hut the clear winner in this battle of the brands.

Vote in our poll for Pizza Hut or Domino's as your preferred brand, and let us know in the comments why you love it.
