Once Upon A Time is very good and very clever (the novelisation less so) and maybe too clever with its cinematic "in-jokes" but it isn't the tour-de-force of Pulp Fiction.
Pulp Fiction is 154 minutes and you cannot take your eyes off the screen. Compare that with, say, the tedious, never-ending "James Bond" films and you can compare an inspired natural film maker and a bunch of tradesmen working for payday.
Tarantino will never do anything better - but neither will anyone else.
