I enjoy pizza, usually I want the heat pizza I can find. But everyone I've in a while I enjoy a pizza from Domino's as well. Yeah the quality is different, but it's not bad in the sense that it's literally inedible. It's the same reason I enjoy good burgers but also crave McDonald's every so often too. I've bought really good, hard to get beer that was $40 for a 22oz bottle, but I also like a Budweiser every so often too.
Having only the best of everything all the time is not only boring, it's expensive too!
