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.

    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.

    This reads like such astroturfing advertisement. Also it's just fucking sad if you really think domino's is the height of pizza.

    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

    Okay, I'm going to be that guy because I don't see it being pointed out already.

    That's not actual Italian pizza, it's still an Americanized version.

    Real Italian pizza is so thin you have to eat it with a fork and knife and it's meant for one person, not to share. The one in the picture is still way too thick to be real Italian.

    But real Italian pizza in Italy really is on another level. It's so god damned good, it makes all pizza in America look like cardboard with sauce.

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

    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

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

    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.

    different supplier than the supply region I’m in, so I’ll take your word for it.

    Maybe it’s part of the MAID plan? Easier to convince people if they don’t have good cheese to remind them that it’s worth going on until that next greasy slice.

    Both the same price.

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

    Dominos - 50% shareholder profit, 50 disappointment

    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.

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