Caro definitely does. Walking distance for me (Ottawa St. location) and if I want to spend a bit on a great entrée I'll often add a pizza and then have a couple of meals out of it.
I like a bit of variety in pizzas, so for me Pizzaiolo is a nice change of pace. And I've never ordered a custom pizza from them, just their slices.
I'll have to try Power and Cowabunga. In the area where I live I've tended to order from Hi-Line which is walking distance, and while I've had Shorty's I don't love it.
My favourite of the chains was Toppers but their downtown location has been unreliable and the one on Upper James closed. I've ordered from Gino's as well; they were a post-bar staple in the 1990s but their recipe was different then... I like it better today.
Other mentionables in Hamilton: Bronzie's, and Chicago Style (especially if the appetite is raging). The Attic used to be very good but the past few years it has not been. Mai Pai is good too though I didn't care for some of their menu pizzas.
