The Concept of Bad Pizza

I saw someone on line show scorn when he read that another user got pizza from Dominoes. I'm not sure what sourced those sentiments. Is it a cultural thing, endemic to the non-kosher world? Is it a well known fact that corner pizza places, little mom and pop places are inevitably better than chain pizza? Is that some sort of official position? I need someone to clarify this.

I'm not a pizza snob. When I was a boy, "pizza" was often ketchup and American cheese on white bread toast. Maybe we had frozen pizza slices in a bag, slices that went from frozen to burnt faster than an avocado goes bad. Or you could microwave it to avoid the burnt and really enjoy chewing rubber pizza. The concept of "good" pizza or "bad" never made any sense to me. I come from somewhere back in my long ago when there was no local (or not so local) pizza place, let alone a choice of meal options. 

But even now, when I can be honest and say that some pizza has culinary traits, profiles, textures and displays of technique and application of flavor more precisely aligned with my preferences than other pizza, I don't call that other pizza "bad." In all the stores out there, and over all all the years and places, I don't think I have ever noticed a substantial difference in flavor and eating experience between slices. Some have a bit more salt, or more sauces, or cheese that breaks before it stretches, but I wouldn't insult any of them or assume that it exists as an example of a "type" that is naturally lesser.

I have had chain pizza. In Israel. It wasn't the best pizza I have ever had but it arrived where I was staying and I got to eat it. That's not a bad thing. This hate for Dominoes is just a symptom of all that is wrong with this country.
