Lucky you! I really liked the Mexican pizza that Taco Bell sold 20+
years ago. That particular Taco Bell location by the beach turned
into something other franchise and I haven't had one since. If they
even sell it anymore, it's probably a lot different now anyway - but
they were quite tasty back then.

Franchised pizza just doesn't hit the spot any more. Before they went
to the conveyor belt method, Round Table turned out a good enough
facsimile of a NY pizza that friends who were NYC transplants were
impressed. Everything about it changed after the conveyor belt.
Their crust formula changed, they didn't throw the dough anymore and
of course it was baked differently. It was the end of an era. I also
liked Pizza Hut back then, but just looking at pictures of what they
sell currently turns my stomach.

I think I only had pizza at Round Table once. It didn't leave an impression
on me one way or the other. I am not usually a pizza lover so it would have
to be either super disgusting or really good for me to have much of a memory
of it. I did like their salad bar though.

I don't remember a salad bar at Round Table. For us, it was pickup or
delivery depending on how fast we wanted a pizza.

Not all of them had the salad bar.
