Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.

    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

        I kinda dig the bland crust. Not for eating, but for not eating. Like, sometimes you’d rather your calories come from toppings, and saving the crust for the next day to dip in those shitty marinara cups when you’re tired as hell is a good thing.

        Like, not often, but sometimes.

        Then again, we don’t do pizza often, and it’s usually when all adults are fucking wrecked via some bullshit or another that pushed us past our limits (both me and my wife are disabled, and my dad is old as fuck lol). If we want pizza to really enjoy I make it myself, or order it from the two yankees that set up a shop in town.

          It’s good for sprinkling in the lawn of my bird-phobic neighbor. HOA wouldn’t let me get a Turkey to keep in the yard so I’ll attract a wild one damn it.

        Other than LC who is cheaper? Only a fool orders pizza without a coupon so I’m assuming that’s being taken into account given the prevalence (that’s part of their pricing strategy, it’s built in).

      It’s like that in the US too. I’m not a coupon person but I use an online coupon (it’s under Deals or something) every time with Dominoes.

      I will copy my response to another poster:

      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.

      there is an authentic italian pizza place around the corner from me where I can get two 16 inch peporoni pizzas for 15 quid which are 20xs better than the slop dominos provides

      Imagine actually eating dominos when you have NY american pizza avilable lmao
