Yes. In Cambridge at the same time, the chains were Garfunkels, Pizzaland, Pizza Hut, and PizzaExpress. PizzaExpress (particularly "7a") was head and shoulders above the rest, though Pizzaland's endless shower of half-price vouchers admittedly got people through the door. I don't think anyone ever went to Garfunkels unless the parents were down. There were a handful of enjoyable local restaurants/cafes that were just one step above a greasy spoon, though.
