Pizza Beats Out Burgers in National Consumer Survey

Pizza over burgers? That's what consumers seem to think.

A recent survey through the American Consumer Satisfaction Index points to consumers' preference for a pizza pie over a burger and fries, according to a recent article in The Chicago Tribune. With nearly 80,000 consumers surveyed, the survey index rated satisfaction with a number of national full-service and limited service restaurants on a 100-point scale.

Olive Garden took top prize of sit-down, full-service restaurants. Red Lobster was a close second, followed by Outback and Chili's.

In the limited division (fast-food restaurants), Pizza Hut snagged top prize, followed by Little Caesars and Starbucks. Wendy's beat out McDonald's and Burger King for the best fast-food burger choice.

Of the top-ranked choices, what's your favorite sit-down restaurant? How about your favorite fast-food choice? Which do you think makes the best burger: Wendy's, Burger King, or McDonald's?
