Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.
From an European perspective, it has always been a point of divergence with my American friends and colleagues. They always want the fattier, more sugar-full version arguing there's more taste and it's "real food", but in our point of view it taste like junk and don't compete a second with a home-made traditional one (and are pricier !).
That. Unless Domino’s has a completely different pricing strategy in the US, They are the expensive option.
I like eating dominos once in a while, it’s a great sweet fatty snack, but it’s not cheaper.
Can't speak for the US as a whole but everywhere I've lived Domino's is the cheapest. I can get a medium 2 topping pizza at dominoes for $6.99. We have 3 family run traditional pizza places within driving distance of where I live, for a 2 topping medium pizza they cost: $14.75, $15.99, or $18.99.
It’s the second cheapest here if you for something you don’t cook at home after buying it frozen.
Little Ceaser’s would give an Italian aneurysm, buts like 5 bucks for a week of calories.
Domino's is way cheaper than an actual Italian pizza in the US.
It's also shit pizza, I'd rather buy a frozen one and put my own stuff on it. Then it's cheaper and better.
Sugar is overrated AF.
Sugar is the devil. The devil is actually quite sweet. I also enjoy putting the devil in my mouth.
Have you ever blown the devil in the pale moonlight?
More of broad daylight in a dog park situation. Thank god for the staffing issues at the local PD
Seeing Dominoes as the standard for American pizza fills me with sadness and shame.
Yes, I know it’s only a shitpost, but still.
If only the British were willing to share their culinary secrets and dental technology, many of the world's problems could be solved decisively.
Domino's crust is always covered with a layer of nasty gritty powder, even if I tell them to not season the crust.
Yeah that's not seasoning, that's corneal. Unless you mean the edges? Then that's their fake parmesan.
Corn flour? Lol
Why is normie naked? This feels disturbing, please unpost this
Seems normal to me, I can't order Domino's unless I'm fully nude.. phone or on person. Figured we all had that problem!
Maybe it's different in the states, but Domino's is ridiculously overpriced for pizza in the UK (yes I know you can always find a voucher), you can get two neapolitan pizzas and change for the price of some of the pizzas on the Domino's menu.
Not really sure how they're still afloat over here simply beyond existing momentum
Baffled at the plenty of toppings and lots of cheese notes. Maybe it’s just Dominoes in Canada but I’m fairly certain there’s less cardboard in the box it came in. To each their own I guess.
I know it's a meme, but this is a dumb take. You're comparing two very different things, and they serve two different purposes. Sometimes you want to crush some fast food at 2 am after drinking at the pub, sometimes you want to have really good pizza where less is more and the quality of the ingredients matter. Eat both and be happy you have pizza.
That's the joke
Both the same price.
Proper Italian pizza - Just a like a mamma used to make
Dominos - 50% shareholder profit, 50 disappointment
I always forget how good a genuine pizza is until I have it again
Lore time:
This was around the 2010. It was about six to seven years since we migrated to New Mumbai - it was a new city, but it was a nice place. Not heavily cramped like Old Mumbai, fresh air, lots of greenery and poor and rich neighbourhoods weren't seperated. We could only afford eating restaurant food once in a month. I was around 8 to 9 years old. As a lower-class Indian family, eating "American junk" was considered bourgie and posh during those days. When I mean lower-class, I'm talking about having no home appliances, like fridge, washing machine, A.C. or any of those stuff. Just a bunch of sleeping-mats, utensils and an old CRT T.V.
It so happened that during those days, Domino's also started advertising their tacos. As kids, me and my sibling were fascinated by this American, "white-people" food. That day, we were supposed to eat some tandoori tikka chicken, roti and non-veg biriyani. We threw a tantrum, asking my dad to buy one of those new taco product - one of those boxes had two "large" tacos. Well, we ordered it.
And lo, behold, the delivery guy brings in the "American delight". Well, at first, we were caught a little off-guard, because the box was tiny. Must be just our imagination , we thought. So my dad asks the delivery guy if that was the right order. He gives a weird look and leaves. So, we go running to the basin, wash our hands, and come back prancing. Open the box, and to our horror, we see two tiny, itty-bitty macron-sized tacos (never saw a macron in person, but I'm assuming it must be pretty small). And the taste? It felt like eating wall-paint flakes.
We ate one of those tacos, and my dad asks if we're still hungry. Well, we did not complain. That day, both mom and dad slept hungry. ₹110 for a bunch of American crap, and we could have enjoyed a hearty Punjabi cuisine.
It was also after I started browsing over the internet, that I realised that fast-food restaurants target peasants and wage-slaves in their own land, and ironically, they sell it over here as if one of the many thousand gods kissed the dough while kneading.
Didn't order their pizzas using my own money, but when I had the chance to visit my rich classmate's birthday party, they would bring it, and it tasted like paperboard. This is a story for another time, but what basically happened was that I got a chance to visit a culinary school somewhere in Panvel, and the first-year guy over there made the best, Indi-Italian fusion pizza and pasta. Yes, we didn't get a large slice, just a few bites, because it was a school trip, and there were a lot of students. But that was the best Italian dish I've experienced in my life.
Moral of the story: Fuck Domino's and every other fast food restaurants except KFC.
food of the peasants
The ignorant peasants, yes. I can feed myself for two whole days off the price of a McDonald's combo meal these days.
American here, Dominoes is effing disgusting.
I will doxx you to the mafia!
