I've eaten pizza on four continents and in thirteen countries, so I've had a fair bit of experience with regional variations and the like.
My favorite "widely available" pizza--i.e. one from an international chain--is Pizza Hut; I enjoy the way the deep-dish crust is cooked, so it's impregnated with grease and flavor, and their pepperoni is quite good. Domino's is a nice cheap alternative, but I don't like Papa John's--too sweet, and not greasy enough.
My personal favorite brand is a local brand called Cottage Inn. They specialize in deep-dish square-cut pies, and coat the entire crust, both above and below the cheese, with sesame seeds. The toppings are put under the cheese, which allows the flavor to seep upward and downward as they're cooked, and the sauce is deliciously tangy.
The best foreign pizza I've had was at the Vatican--thin-cut, with American-style pepperoni and huge (expensive) slices. Must have been blessed or something. Incidentally, actual Italian pizza isn't that good--they make the crust too thin (pita-thin) and don't slice the pies.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
