Two of the biggest names in pizza are preparing to fight in federal court this week over claims about who makes the better pizza.

Dallas-based Pizza Hut is suing over upstart Papa John’s International Inc.’s slogan--”Better Ingredients, Better Pizza”--saying the motto is deceptive and implies that Pizza Hut uses second-rate ingredients. Louisville, Ky.-based Papa John’s subsequently countersued.

After jury selection Monday, testimony is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Dallas in the first lawsuit.
