Papa Johns and Domino both seem to have wild variations in quality between locations. The PJ in Taunton used to be fantastic, as did the one on Smithdown Road in Liverpool (near the old Hatton's Model Railways)... but the one in Huddersfield was terrible. Dominos in Huddersfield was really good until the head pizza cook left to set up his own independent.
Pizza Hut always felt like the "lowest common denominator" Pizza restaurant. Consistent (like McDonald's) but never very special. Haven't been to one for years though.
Dominos and Papa Johns (formerly named Perfect Pizza) both operate via a franchise system, I moved around a fair bit in the late 90s and early 00s, it was 50/50 which of the two were the better option in any given area. You've also nicely summed up my opinion of Pizza Hut, bland is the word I'd use. The franchise system also means the menus aren't consistent, annoyingly our local Dominos at our current address doesn't stock our favourite pizza, I drive to collect from the next closest instead.
I've yet to encounter a pizza from an independent takeaway that comes close to the tastiness of a decent Dominos franchise, they are more expensive but for me they're worth it.
