I never saw it as upscale, but I think it was the second big US fast food chain to open in NL, although their pizzas were thick and greasy and not very pizza-like, I liked them a lot more than McD.
- glimshe 3y agoMaybe "upscale" isn't indeed the right word for the US experience, but perhaps a "superior" and "more fun" pizza experience? Like, going out to enjoy a pizza with your family, rather than answering the door on jammies to eat pizza delivery. It was well above McDonalds, Subway, Chipotle and other fast food places.
