    For Mexican food we love El Dorado at Forest Hills. In Clayton, Fiesta Mexicana near Walmart is also pretty good. I like the Chinese restaurant at Forest Hills in Garner but I don't know the name of it. Pizza is usually from Papa John's on 42W.

    Raleigh/Raleigh/Raleigh for all three. I didn't like any local stuff in Clayton or 4042 area.

    Chinese??? Neo China, Glenwood Avenue. Best in town.
    Mexican?? Las Palmas

    God you guys need to get out of town more.

    The best Chines in the area hands down is Neo China and Red Dragon in Raleigh. Try these one day. You will thank me afterwards.

    I don't understand why so many people hate Pizza Hut? I mean, it's not my favorite by any means, but we go there occasionally. My son loves the stuffed crust pizza, so sometimes I'll treat him. Like I said, not my favorite, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Better than Pizza Inn by a long shot!

    They are pizza snobs, lol. J/K! I never had anything else growing up, small towns and all that, so it's good to me too. Although the one in Clayton is getting pretty scary. :shock:

    I guess it depends on what you grew up with, Pizza Hut was all there was. I really don't care for Dominoes unless it's the thin crust, Pizza Inn is OK, despise Papa Johns or CiCi's. So greasy. :?

    I don't hate Pizza Hut. In fact I prefer it to every other chain pizza place out there (except Little Caesars). It's a matter of what you want and what you expect**. If you want and expect Pizza Hut, fine, bon appétit. But if you're looking for real honest to goodness pizza the way it's supposed to be made, you won't find it at Pizza Hut (or Dominoes, Papa Johns, or even Little Caesars).



    ** Personally I wouldn't expect to find a good pizza anywhere in NY, but that's only because I prefer Chicago style. Others would certainly argue with me.

    Does Little Caesers still have the Big Foot Pizza? Man in College I lived off of those for a couple days. They were cheap and good!!!

    I like any style of pizza as long as it does not have a sweet tomato sauce....I don't like it. Papa Johns is like that. But I love the pepperoncini that comes with the Papa Johns.

    I have no idea. I haven't had Little Caesars since I left California.

    It's simply a matter of the fact that I don't like the hard thin crust and lack of toppings. But everyone's taste is different. There are more important things to fight over than which style of food is better.

    Well - the original poster asked for locations in the 40/42 area. I don't consider Raleigh in 'our area'. 8)
