Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.
Both the same price.
Proper Italian pizza - Just a like a mamma used to make
Dominos - 50% shareholder profit, 50 disappointment
This reads like such astroturfing advertisement. Also it’s just fucking sad if you really think domino’s is the height of pizza.
it is pretty obviously a joke at dominos expense
Yes, lemmy is large enough to get astroturfing bots now. Congratulations you are very smart.
What do you mean expensive? A Margherita is usually around 7 euros
in the US they are bougie as shit and the cheapest are usually $17 with the average around $25. And they are usually much shittier than any you’ll find in Italy.
I paid 21 USD* (~19 EUR) for a margarita in North-West America yesterday :(
It was pretty good, but it was also small (12"/30cm).
* that’s before 10% VAT and 15% mandatory tip - you can basically add another 5.
Wow ok that’s steep (also margarita is Spanish not Italian)

Ha, that was my spellchecker :)
What the fuck

They use euros in Africa? We are talking about Italian pizza so I’m talking about Italy

Frozen Pizza is something like 4€ for 3 cheap pizzas or one slightly more fancy pizza. Germany, not Africa.

Three frozen pizzas, 3€.
When I was living in London (pre brexit I don’t know now) I remember paying 6 pounds 50 for a really good napolitan pizza at “Da Michele” while dominoes was like 18 pounds for basically hot garbage
Yep in Italy is dirt cheap but the further away you go the more the American style stays cheap while the Italian style becomes “gourmet” and gets more expensive.
Seeing Dominoes as the standard for American pizza fills me with sadness and shame.
Yes, I know it’s only a shitpost, but still.
Deep Dish erasure. It’s like our only original pizza contribution.
The perfidious Swede is known for curried bananas on their pizza. It could be worse.
American here, Dominoes is effing disgusting.

Memes aside, Punjabi food is definitely in the top tier when it comes to styles of Indian food (and Indian food is top tier already).

I feel you, variety is the spice of life (but that’s only after a vicious battle against cumin that could have gone either way).
That sounds awesome, I’m on the Wikipedia pages for a couple of those rn and you’re spot on. Nothing like it around me, but there is a Pakistani place that does Charsi Karahi with goat and it’s “viable contender for last meal” tier.
I need to learn how to make some Marathi food, when you said “spicy by Indian standards” you convinced me lol.
Thank you for sharing all this information and stuff. Not what I expected from a pizza shitpost.
I always forget how good a genuine pizza is until I have it again
a Domino’s white sauce, spinach, and feta pizza fucking slaps. but Little Caesar’s is cheaper than both, so 🤷🏼
bless up
Domino’s crust is always covered with a layer of nasty gritty powder, even if I tell them to not season the crust.
it’s the cornmeal they use to keep it from sticking during prep
Uh, I’m pretty sure it’s baby powder.
That’s what they want you to think
Yeah that’s not seasoning, that’s corneal. Unless you mean the edges? Then that’s their fake parmesan.
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.
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’s my point about Italy having better ingredients. The assembling of the ingredients is the issue. This is why authentic Italian-American pizza is the best. The bougie places shell out for imported ingredients and cook them in the American style.
Im not saying you should go to naples to try the real one, but have you at least ever been to Italy?
Yes.
Just this month I was there and the pizza is a different concept there to be sure.
Street pizzas of thinly sliced zucchini or potato covering bread rounds with olive oil. That’s pizza in Rome.
Focaccia bread like crust with some anchovies and potatoe? Pizza.
Neapolitan style is just a different style again, but the theme is dough is not the delivery agent, it is the primary purpose. The dough is the important bit, with toppings being intended to enhance subtle flavors for it.
Italian pizza is most similar in American expectations of food typically found there, to flatbread dishes. It’s flatbread with some stuff on top to accent it. There is no cheese on most of the pizza I had in the various parts of Italy I was in. Cheese was not an expected component. Healthy or at least flavorful variations on additions to the dough are the goal.
Whether you are in Sardinia, Calabria, or Rome; pizza is pizza dough with local additives.
I have seen French fries on top of pizza in Sardinia, and this was called there “American pizza” :)
Please take pity on the Italians, they sent their best to America and now they are trying their best.
I had to eat in that shitty country for a bit this summer, I will show them the kindness they showed me.

Reddit taught me that’s the normal way to answer and the driver takes the view in lieu of a tip
it’s funny how seriously people are taking this lol. good shitpost
If only the British were willing to share their culinary secrets and dental technology, many of the world’s problems could be solved decisively.
culinary secrets
A crybaby yelling at people and offering galaxy brain advice like “limit the size of your menu, it keeps consistency up” and “clean daily”?
dental technology
You’ve seen those haggard chompers, it’s a miracle they don’t fall out or bite themselves comically whilst speaking. Imagine what people who gave a shit could do with that dental necromancy
