Dewey's Pizza
Dewey's is a chain in the Midwest, and one of my favorites. The menu offers two types of pizza: a red sauce with mozzarella cheese or white sauce with olive oil, minced garlic, mozzarella, and fontina cheese. Dewey's also offers a variety of gourmet ingredients in addition to more traditional toppings.
The hand-tossed crust at Dewey's is soft and chewy, and the cheese is supple. The sauce is thick and tasty, and all of the other toppings on the menu are good. The sausage is especially spicy. Everything works towards a pizza that is simple, but a pleasure to experience.
I personally prefer the red sauce pizzas over the white, but there are many interesting combinations possible. Dewey's also lets you order half and half pizzas, so it's fun to experiment.

Pi- St. Louis, MO
A lot of the pizzas I've tried lately have been light on sauce, so the pizza at Pi was a nice change of pace. Pi serves deep-dish pizzas that are almost literally tomato pies; deep, cornmeal crust with loads of fresh, chopped tomato. It's a Chicago style pizza, but it doesn't represent the style, nor is it meant to. Pi's crust is a bit crunchier and granular than most cornmeal crusts, which helps support the mound of juicy tomato, but I'm personally more of a fan of crusts which are more uniform. Everything plays second fiddle to the tomato, however. This is a pizza for tomato lovers.
