I remember having spicier/fresher tasting tomato sauce, better proportions of cheese, and higher quality toppings.

It seems as though pizza these days is just a dough topped with a minimal amount of cheese, sauce, and toppings. I remember getting pizza that actually had a full layer of cheese on it that entirely covered the pizza.

Order Pizza Hut last night to watch the final regular season games with friends. It was awful. You could see half the dough, as there was hardly any cheese. There was minimal sauce. Our hawaiin pizza had on average 2 pineapple pieces per slice. They tried to make up for the lack of toppings by covering the pizza in oil. These pizzas weren't cheap either. You pay almost $25/pizza once you factor in delivery charges and tax.
I think that's a canadian thing. If you check out flyers for the US pizza chains, pizza seems to be dirt cheap down there. For example, Pizza Hut in the US always has that "Any pizza for $10" deal. They had it for like 2 years.

Meanwhile in Canada, I order a large peperoni lovers with extra cheese............."and your total is $23.85". That's for pick up, btw. Just ridiculous.
