Best pizza I ever had was in NYC. BY the slice. Swear on the Bible. 1980 or so.
Delivered Domino’s in college in a Domino’s AMC Gremlin. Worst car and pizza ever.
I can eat it and have done Ok with it.
But there was a comedian:
“Did you hear? Domino’s can fax you a pizza now. And it still tastes like cardboard! How DO they do it!!!???”
Well, I am a Detroiter, and grew up with Dominos as one of many choices. It’s tasty and convenient. Some folks in the area used to call it
“Catholic Pizza”, because the original owner, Tom Monaghan often donated to local Catholic schools and was against abortion.
Other wise, I think the writer could have used a good editor. In his second paragraph, he describes when someone made pizza, saying the dough was “LATHERED in garlic oil”.
The term he probably meant was SLATHERED.
When one's fellow employees, including management, are bigger idiots than the customers, it's time to move on.
Currently my go-to is Blaze pizza and I get to pick what I want on it. Best solution.
I don’t like Dominos very much. My folks like it though, and order delivery probably once a week. If they’re happy, I’m happy.
In my 52 years in USA as an adult, and after living in 5 states and traveling through all 49 except Hawaii, the best pizza I ever had was at Uno’s in Chicago downtown area back in 1960’s and through early 1980’s.
What was so good about it? It was served in a thick cast iron skillet in which the pizza was baked. It was thicker crust but not full of soggy tomato paste which is hallmark of deep dish pizza’s. The crust was never soggy or dry. Uno’s used imported Italian sausage and very good quality Mozzarella cheese and sun dried tomatoes, not tomato paste. Coriander seeds were visible the garlic flavor filled the nostrils.
This restaurant was very popular, and on weekend evenings, there were 100+ people waiting to get a table, all crammed inside the waiting room. Thank God covid was unheard of.
And BTW, I’ve always been disappointed in pizza around NYC. Who wants to eat a stale pizza, which seems to be the norm?
so many bad choices...
First hitchhiking ride I ever had was by a Domino’s driver smoking a joint.
The doctor might as well prescribe Dominos for preparation for my next colonoscopy.
Its not pizza- its garbage.
They hate Domino’s because they aren’t reflexively woke. The pizza is fine. An order of magnitude better than rainbow encrusted Pizza Hut crap.
Pizza is one of those things that there is no standard. I suppose you could go to Italy and hunt down ‘authentic’. It boils down to your personal tastes and where you want to spend your money. As a kid in Philadelphia, every corner deli had pizza (hoagies and cheesesteaks for that matter). You got used to your neighborhood’s pizza and that was the way it was supposed to be (although you knew no better). Today, I stick to Mom and Pop restaurants as much as possible and eschew anything chain and corporate. When I travel, I go for the local places. It really doesn’t matter where that is or what kind of food it is. I am generally satisfied with the product and try not to compare to what I grew up with.
I’m in the minority here, but I really like Dominos, especially compared to places like Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, or Papa John’s. I love their pan pizza, and their thin crust is really good, too.
I guess Domino's is not about pizza, but about roofing tiles.
I used to order Domino’s when I lived in Canandaigua New York and I’d order the large pepperoni with wings (came in a combo) and it was pretty good at that time and place. Other than that, I lived in MA north shore and would never have not ordered local and get the best pizza in my lifetime so far. I sure do miss it.
I’m as far from a pizza snob as you can get. Heck, I even like a flour tortilla with catsup for sauce, a little Cavenders Greek spice, cheese and pepperoni and stuck in the oven at 400F for a couple minutes.
But the last time I bought a Dominos was about three years ago when they wanted to charge me $2.00 each for those little Parmesan cheese packets.
Oh well, the quality & taste of the pizzas had already gone downhill well before that
