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 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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More of broad daylight in a dog park situation. Thank god for the staffing issues at the local PD

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the local PD the devil you blow?

Seeing Dominoes as the standard for American pizza fills me with sadness and shame.

Yes, I know it’s only a shitpost, but still.

What do you mean expensive? A Margherita is usually around 7 euros

If only the British were willing to share their culinary secrets and dental technology, many of the world's problems could be solved decisively.

culinary secrets

A crybaby yelling at people and offering galaxy brain advice like “limit the size of your menu, it keeps consistency up” and “clean daily”?

dental technology

You’ve seen those haggard chompers, it’s a miracle they don’t fall out or bite themselves comically whilst speaking. Imagine what people who gave a shit could do with that dental necromancy

Domino's crust is always covered with a layer of nasty gritty powder, even if I tell them to not season the crust.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's the cornmeal they use to keep it from sticking during prep

Yeah that's not seasoning, that's corneal. Unless you mean the edges? Then that's their fake parmesan.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Corn flour? Lol

[–] 9point6 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

Both the same price.

Proper Italian pizza - Just a like a mamma used to make

Dominos - 50% shareholder profit, 50 disappointment

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's the joke

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 always forget how good a genuine pizza is until I have it again
