Every Italian restaurant I've been in, including those run by Italians, sell pizza. I'm a fan of stone-baked ones, I don't know where they originate though... it's probably a mix of influences including English these days?

You are right, Italian Pizza was originally small and only had tomato and cheese. The fancy large pizzas are of US origin

Apparently adding pineapple as a topping on pizza is a crime.

I have seen menus with egg as topping.

I like a lot of salt on my food, like ridiculous levels of salt, and I thought it was too salty.

I felt genuinely sick after eating one as well, I think the cheese dip was off.

Never again.

I only ever use Papa Johns if I get a 50% or BOFOF free promotion

You can get free pizzas if you buy enough, but like Subway you have to buy regularly to be worth it

Never heard of this chain until one opened in Durham. Is it any good?

So far my only impressions are:

Finally a takeaway pizza place which makes Dominos look affordable

They really shouldn't have picked the poor/rouch end of Durham, near all the independent £5.99 pizza/kebab shops

£17.50 for a takeaway pizza, in the north-east! We could eat out at a local Italian and get two (quite good) pizzas and a bottle of (not so good) wine for that!

I noticed they accept ClubCard so I shall be trying that though Is it one of those places nobody ever pays full price, or is it so amazing it's worth it?
