I live in Buttfuck, NC, a small mountain town. We have 3 awesome local pizza places within 5 miles of my house; one is within walking distance. I just think you're not trying
There's 3 or 4 local Italian joints not far from where I live that also do pizza, plus a local pizza place that's a deeply ingrained part of my childhood.
However, going a bit farther [70 miles versus 15], there's this new chain called Pie Five, which is basically a Subway restaurant that makes pizzas instead of sub sandwiches. It's really great. You pick you crust, you sauces, your meat, and your toppings. Then they throw it on this conveyor and it pops out the other side of an oven in about a minute, all cooked and ready to be eaten. Really decent prices too.
