Your typical pizza in Italy is baked in a wood-fired brick oven. Individual serving size. You can get two of them for about $15.... Deiivery was kinda spotty but still available.

Why would your typical Italian opt for Domino's?! I haven't had a Domino's pizza in oh, twenty years....

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

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.

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.

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

Domino’s Pizza says arrivederci, flees Italy after failing to win over local customers

Most pizza in Italy had a soggy crust.

A Little Off Topic:
Last week I discovered something most probably know already;
If you eat your pasta Al Dente; or somewhat firm vs soggy;
the pasta is much, much easier to digest!! And it still tastes good, in a firm, Chow Mein kind of way, where the pasta itself holds a flavor.
I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but it was kind of late.

Some time ago I bet that the best pizzas were those of a certain American chain, when I went to Naples I bought a pizza in a small restaurant, and the result is... all my respect for Italian pizza

I lived in Italy for a while. Real Italian pizza is more of a single course of a meal than an appetizer, you'd order a pizza then something else to go with it. It doesn't come cut into pieces like in the U.S. Americans that don't like real Italian pizza are usually disappointed that it doesn't come loaded down with toppings like American pizza. I personally don't like loaded pizzas, for me I'd much rather just have cheese or pepperoni. That's not normal in the U.S. though as most people turn up their nose unless it's a loaded "supreme" style and pizza places push that because it can double the price.

For the most part it's hard to beat a real pizza in Italy, they're pretty fantastic. There is certainly good pizza in the U.S. but many times it's not what Italians would think of as pizza. That's OK too. However, Domino's has never been what I though of as good pizza, even after their supposed revamp a few years ago where they claimed they improved it. I couldn't tell any difference, it still pretty much sucked. I'm not going to say I'm above ordering Domino's when I'm stuck in a hotel on a business trip and it's the only thing nearby, but I would never intentionally seek it out. I can't imagine anyone picking Domino's over a real italian pizza so I'm astonished anyone ever though they could ever make Domino's work there.

I like DiGiorno Supreme and Pizzerio and Rising Crust frozen pizza.

"Just seven years after making its debut in Milan, Domino’s Pizza is...."

Talk about taking coal to Newcastle! Can't think of much dumber (except maybe Manchu Wok opening a dim sum joint in Guangzhou).

I don’t eat Domino’s here, I sure wouldn’t eat it in Italy. Call me a pizza snob (I grew up in Connecticut) and there are many great pizza places. My dad said (in the 70s) when we first are at Domino’s that the box would taste better. It is a hit or a miss in quality.
