At least Little Caesars is cheap.
We were going to order Dominos delivered the other day and it was going to be $37, decided to drive to little Caesars and spent $15.
Sure I had to spend some gas and go get it. But delivered pizza at 37 is way too expensive.

This is about as smart a move as putting a Taco Bell in Tijuana.

Mostly, Italians just use tomatoes and a sprinkling of cheese on a thin crust.

Why would your typical Italian opt for Domino’s?! I haven’t had a Domino’s pizza in oh, twenty years....
Well Domino’s pizza makes a pretty good PIE.. Had a pizza just about 12 days ago..

It isn’t due to failing to win over local customers it’s to world wide inflation and Biden his best to make sure we stay in the game.

Back in college several nights a week it was either Domino’s or PTA (Pizza Transit Authority). They both offered fast delivery and serve their purpose for college kids but neither was anything memorable tastewise. Pizza Hut didn’t even deliver back then and Papa John’s hadn’t opened. Man I feel old now lol.

... the sorriest damned apology for pizza since Chef Boy-Aren’t-I-F**king-Clever puked up a can of tomato soup and chucked it in a cardboard box with a little bag of yeasty flour and a tiny pack of grated so-called cheese.

MOD Pizza is close to that style-less sauce and you pick your own toppings.

When I was in Italy in the 80’s, the only chain restaurants I recall were on the military bases. My best dining experiences were in private residences where Papa went out and rounded up the diners and Mama prepared whatever was on the very short menu.

You are right. I remember ordering pizza near Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was low quality with very little toppings.

McDonald’s and Dominos were a novelty and lasted for a while especially in the big towns. But the Italians started to develop an attitude towards these particular companies. In some towns they refuse to use the product. I think one town Lecce in the south had a major dispute and within six months the company packed up and left. You have to be really good in the Food area to gain their respect. Doesn’t come easy.

They’ve got one in New Haven CT “competing” with Sally’s, Pepe’s and Modern so why not Italy.

I've never been to Italy but I've heard Americans being disappointed with Italian pizza for the reasons you've just mentioned. Sicilian pizza is the best. It's the peas.
