American Reacts to US vs UK Domino's Pizza

- In this video I react to US vs UK Domino's Pizza. Like usual we see that the ingredients in British fast food is generally cleaner and the portions are smaller. What sticks out the most to me here is that the UK has some very unique side items and toppings that I never would have expected at a pizza place. Do you really eat coleslaw with pizza?

In the UK our food tends to be a bit more expensive because we use fresher ingredients which are more expensive. When you look at the pizzas next to each other you can see the US pizza has a lot more grease from a cheaper more “plastic” cheese. Steve, if you ever come to the UK, please try one of our dominos pizza and you will see why it is more money as the flavour quality is soooooo much better
It’s still way too pricey. Although dominos uk is very good. There are many takeaway places of equal quality for less than half the price
That's just not true, when it comes to pizza chains in the UK, we're one of the only countries where they mark up the prices up to 700% across the board for all companies, its called "price leadership".
That doesn't add up we use less ingredients so should be a lot cheaper especially with domino's pizza
@@MedievalDarkAges someone needs to send this video to dominos uk lol
@Charlie-Mia - You are correct, it mainly comes down to the 'cheese' used. In the US they have the worst cheese EVER ! But in the UK, France and most of Europe the cheese is a quality ingredient in comparison to America... Although, as others have commented, pizza generally is SO over priced, with huge 'mark-ups', I much prefer to make my own! Also, I always have coleslaw in the fridge and have it with lots of things: on a ham & coleslaw sandwich, with a scoop on top of a side-salad or with a hot pasty etc... it just seems to 'work'.👍😂
Dominos & Pizza Hut are very expensive in the UK when compared to most independent pizza restaurants. However it is rare that you actually pay full price, Dominos always have 50% discount offers, especially if you collect from the store rather than delivery.
... You realise those "deals" are still not good, right? That's part of the whole price plan, NOBODY is actually expected to pay the full price for a pizza, but you getting 2 large pizzas and a side for almost 30 quid, IS STILL NOT RIGHT. Most other first world countries DO NOT PAY that much for pizza chains to deliver to their house. In america its anywhere from 5 to 15 dollars for a pizza delivery. In this country, good luck trying to get it under 25 POUNDS. UK is one of the only countries where pizza chains mark up to about 700%+
@@michael_177 your chatting shit dude I can get 2 large pizzas and 4 sides for 40 - 50 delivery and far less if I collect fyi thats with stuffed crust too, The price different is primarily the quality of ingredients and laws around what can and cant go in food.
@@ELITESTROKES All you need to do is a simple google search my friend. A fair example is the price of dominos and pizza hut in australia and canada compared to the UK. We are being absolutely shafted. It is a FACT that pizza chains operating in the UK mark up to 700% increased prices compared to many other first world countries. They know we'll pay it, and they know that we don't know any better. Because you are happy to pay 50 fucking quid for 2 pizzas and some sides? are you insane? It's NOT NORMAL to spend almost 60-70 dollars for 2 pizzas and some sides. Americans would LAUGH at that 😂, one of the only things they really have over us is the price of pizza delivery lmao.
@@michael_177 and you have failed once again, price of dominos vs pizza hut has too many variables example, suppliers, transportation, size, locations and so on you then want to compare it to Australia and Canada 2 completely different economy's not only is that moronic its down right daft to even thought of it. what's the statistical info that your pulling 700% from..... your ass because its sure as shit looks like. 50 for 2 large pizzas and 4 sides with stuff crust and delivery included, work it out dumbass that's a good price for the quality and quantity it offers. Americans eat primarily cancer causing chemicals and colouring.... their food is among some of the worst regulated out there for first world countries. educate yourself on the topic before spreading false and downright moronic information.
@@ELITESTROKES If you think 50 quid for 2 pizzas and 4 sides is a good deal overall, I don't know what to tell you mate.
I only ever buy Domino's on a Tuesday. The two for Tuesday offer is the only time I am willing to pay their prices 🤣
This! I only ever buy on Tuesdays as well.
Honestly, the two for Tuesdays is the best thing domino's have done for their sales
*Steve:* "7 inches! That is a small one!!! .... Ours is 10"
Stop bragging Steve - lol 🤣
Your fast food is much cheaper than it is in the UK. However, our 'proper' food that you get at the supermarket is cheaper.
@@beccawoodhouse 9th most expensive compared to other McDonald's around the world? Probably, but a table comparing McDonald's to itself only really tells you about the company positioning in each respective market. From my experience, fast food (and any meals out) in the UK is smaller portions and a lot more expensive compared to my numerous trips to the States.
Also, is that true dollar value? Or price normalised against spending power in each country?
@@newblor I live in Canada and when i go to the USA its cheaper than in Canada, but when i go back to the UK its generally similar to the USA for most places but you get slightly less in the uk. Restaurant's i find Uk is usually cheaper as well but if you want a drink its usually not unlimited refills and costs slightly more
@@Gamerslullaby Unlimited refills really out to be a thing in the UK - at least for the 'sugar free' options. Gagging for a drink in NYC it was so good to be able to get a soda for $1 in McDs or elsewhere then go back to refill. Over here the drinks prices are very high in comparison and even those restaurants that offer unlimited refills charge a hefty premium for the privilege. God knows why when post-mix sodas cost the restaurant literally pennies per cup. Same with coffee - around £3 a time and with no free top ups!
Fruit and vegetables are starting to get cheaper than potato chips( at least in my area) but we have a ways to go to actually promote healthier eating, especially when we can’t agree on “ what is healthier”
We don’t drink raw milk in the UK (unless you live on a farm and choose to) but we do eat raw milk cheeses. They do taste different, and once they’ve become cheese the risks go down a lot compared to milk (especially milk you’ve bought and aren’t 100% sure of the timeframes and conditions it’s been kept in).
I’d you get milk deliveries from a farm in the U.K. you can get it unpasteurised completely legal. Gold top milk
I've seen a few raw milk vending machines in random places, it's definitely becoming more popular.
It’s legal to buy raw milk in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Only the consumer can purchase it from the farmer/farmer’s market or have it delivered so there is not middle man. It’s still illegal in Scotland.
If someone is surprised by tuna on pizza you immediately know they've never been to a real Italian pizzeria! 😎
My favourite pizza has tuna, didn't realise it was more authentic :D
the garlic and herb dip is so good. and i think garlic dips are the default dipping sauce. i can't imagine putting marinara on a pizza, its already tomatoey why would i need more?
Check out the fat content of one of those dips though. 70% fat
Coleslaw is available in every food place in the UK. We love it.
Not true. The branch of Dominoes I work for doesn't sell it and I have not known it to be an option in major fast food chains with the exception of KFC.
Coleslaw is grim
Coleslaw is a staple at our KFC and yes, coleslaw with pizza...Yum! Marinara sauce is purely an American thing...no such thing over here, which the my American relatives just couldn't understand! 😂 And I have Italian relatives too and if you asked over there, they would look at you blankly! When I explained what marinara was, my cousin said the nearest she could think of was pomodoro or sugo.
As a matter of facts for us dipping pizza into something is a foreign concept. I mean, it's garnished flatbread already. Why add stuff?
Most British may think Bolognese sauce without the meat??? Seen and heard of "Marinara" before over here and also in Italy and Germany but not quite pronounced like that? However, never seen it as a "Dip" but only in a proper Italian restaurants and nearly always on pasta or something like veal.
@@johnp8131 in Italy marinara is just a type of pizza or Donald duck's shirt. No marinara sauce over here.
@@alicetwain Really, next time I over there I'll tell them to take "Alla Marinara" off of the menu because Alice knows better? Yes it's called "Sugo" as well. However, try looking it up, you had me doubting myself for a momment?
@@johnp8131 alla marinara is not a tomato sauce. Pizza alla marinara is pizza with tomato, garlic, and oregano (no cheese). Any place that sells pasta alla marinara is a tourist trap.
You can get raw milk in the UK but you’ll be buying it from a farm shop (literally a shop owned by a farm, often on-site) it isn’t sold in regular shops because it can’t really be standardised like pasteurised milk can and there are usually warnings about it.
As other comments have said you can get raw-milk cheese a lot more commonly for whatever reason.
Also Tuna and sweetcorn is a classic pizza and sandwich combo which is great, if you like both tuna and sweetcorn
In the UK, the list price of the pizza is almost always considerably higher than you actually pay for it. I’ve literally never ordered dominos without getting at least a 30% off, and in store I’ve noticed you just automatically get charged less than whatever the menu says, even for collection. I’d expect to be able to get 2 large pizzas for £20.
i cant believe how cheep it was for the us - dominos is like a luxary fast food in the uk
As someone who works for a Dominoes branch, I can clear up some misconceptions from this video. The pizzas come in 7, 10 and 12 inch sizes with garlic bread coming in at 6 inch. While garlic butter is available as a topping it is an extra for most pizzas. The current prices are £8 for a small pizza (9"), £10 for a medium (10") and £12 for a large (13"). They also don't come with an ingredients list longer than the rolling credits from Star Wars. Also sweetcorn is an excellent pizza topping, it is very good at bringing alive some of the vegetarian options. The one outstanding ingredient that is missing from the topping options here in the UK is olives. I have never seen coleslaw as an option though, we certainly haven't been selling them since I have worked there. We don't have marinara, it's just not something that has been imported as a common sauce in this country (outside of Subway's meatball marinara). There are still a fair few more menu items that were not mentioned here like loaded wedges, nachos, vegan dippers, twisted dough balls, garlic dippers, cinni dippers, lotta-chocca pizza and choc orange cookies.
But we do have olives on our UK Domino's menu
These are London Dominoes prices keep in mind. Because here a large is £23. But dominoes works off a a weird voucher system that makes it look like you're getting a deal. So if you buy 2 large pizzas and a side for £25-30 then you're actually paying like 12.5-15 per pizza, or 10.5-13 minus the side included.
their video is 3 years old and dominos are doing a price cut currently, so at least get your facts straight when "correcting" people
Yes.....pizza is one of the most expensive takeaway in the UK 😅🙈🙈 you can buy frozen pizza for £1 in the shops too! Obvs the quality is much much better with the takeaway than a cheap shop pizza, but the price difference is pretty crazy 😅
they are expensive however you never buy just a pizza for example we have stuff like collection deals, buy one get one free deals, two topping deals all reduce the price loads
You can get unpasteurised milk here in the UK, but I wouldn’t recommend it due to health risks from bacteria etc
Me and my friends always used to call Domino's "the most expensive way to get diarrhoea".
Sweetcorns common on pizza here, one of the most popular is a Tuna and Sweetcorn pizza which tastes awesome
The honey mustard and hot dips are more for the chicken poppers / strippers and potato wedges than for the pizza crust. At least that's how I use them!
We don't have marinara sauce over here - other than with the Subway meatballs sub ("Meatball Marinara").
tuna works on a pizza it really does, it adds a little saltyness o the sweetness of the tomato, it juxtaposes it. and sweetcorn is good on pizza as its sweet
Never heard of Marinara sound s ok , but coleslaw with pizza is excellent , give it a go Steve , thanks for the vid
I think it's also to encourage people to see them as a treat, not a lifestyle choice
In the UK the sizes are in the metric system, so the reason it is .5 of an inch is because it rounds to an even number of CM, eg 11.5in is about 30cm, whereas 12in is just above 30cm. With 30cm being the largest that size can be they are very slightly below that for consistency
most pizzas ive seen use the imperial system for measuring - 12" being medium and 15" being large
Dominos UK website sells as 13.5", 11.5", 9.5", 7" though, they don't have the metric measurements.
For pizza we don't use metric. Typically I see regular and large and extra large being 8", 12" and 16" which looks perfect. Some places do medium at 10" or small at 7".
mediums are always 10" or 12" no?
@@BlazeClone
Depends on the shop, I'm guessing shops that don't have extra large have 15" large pizza which is the same thing. So the medium pizza is just a large pizza in that shop.
You forget the “expected tipping” in the U.S.A. Plus the U.K. use fresher ingredients and NOT the plastic U.S. “cheese”. The U.S. pizzas need to be extra large to carry all the added dubious chemicals not allowed in the U.K.
19 things to see in the cotswolds, you will love the buildings has they are unique👍
The UK sizes used to be bigger, those odd sizes are the result of shrinkflation from the major brands. Large pizzas from local takeaways are often 16 inch, sometimes more, or customised to whatever you want
Sodium nitrite is a very common ingredient in cured pork products everywhere. It speeds up the curing process and also helps the products remain pink, rather than the grey colour that salt-cure imparts. Importantly, it also inhibits bacterial spoiling, making the meats safer. In the case of the British pepperoni, it's in there because it needs to be in there.
Always have coleslaw with pizza and many other foods. Also, sweetcorn goes with lots of stuff. X
Marinara sauce is available over here. We just tend to pronounce it closer to the original Italian and you would generally see it in an Italian restaurant on pasta!
those prices are are only retail, they basically have permanent speical offers like 2 for 1 every tuesday and our pizzas are usually 4 toppings and a lot fresher
My brother went to new York for a friend's wedding some years ago and he said the food had a noticeable higher sweeter taste he said it was as if you put more sugar in your foods as well
Good video 👍
Most takeaway like food from companies like domino's, kfc etc are more expensive here in the UK. In part because we use better ingredients also cuz of the VAT we pay. Healthy food is cheaper here not takeaway. That is why the USA eats more takeaway food because its cheap "food"
Pizza places like Dominos and PizzaHut only add one thing to the experience and that is convenience, making your own pizza is extremely easy and way cheaper than buying out by a considerable factor.
Sodiums nitrite & nitrate are required in cured meat & fish to prevent botulism. Calcium or Sodium Proprionates are used to extend the shelf life of bread products. French bread goes stale within hours.
Honestly the garlic herb dipping sauce is the highlight of dominoes in the uk it’s, so elite it’s like crack cocaine for sure I get like 4 of them big pots
It would be so cool to see a series of videos of you coming to the UK and trying the foods you've watched videos on and taste test them/see the differences yourself 😁
In the last few days there is a video with the same two guys exploring different London chippies (fish and chips places). I strongly suggest you check that out. Proper battered fish galore with real chips, tartar sauce, amd mushy peas.
Remember we have the nhs, which means it costs the nhs less the healthier we are. USA pay for everything which means the unhealthier you are the better for the healthcare companies 😢
I haven't had Dominos or any other take out pizza in many years, given I can eat a steak and dessert from a supermarket for the same price. I'm astonished they haven't gone bust yet.
@@scottneil1187 - Yes, buy a 'basic' pizza as a 'base' and ADD fresh ingredients (extra cheeses, ham, mushrooms, chilli flakes etc.) and bake for a little longer... Way cheaper!
On the question of eating in being cheaper in the Uk ,from what i have seen on You Tube i'd say that's unquestionably true .Tonight we are having chicken breast ,roast potatoes ,stuffing ,pigs in blankets ,garden peas and gravy (brown not white ) A quick calculation came out at around £5 ish for 2 portions ,so $6 US currently .I don't know what the US cost would be but I would expect rather more .Eating out on the other hand is expensive .
I’m extremely lucky because we have a pizza van nearby that does pizzas in a proper wood fired oven and they deliver! Being quite rural we don’t get a lot in the way of takeaway food but these pizzas are amazing. They also make proper tarte flambé and psaladiere as well.
Probably because the uk staff and deliverly drivers will get paid atleast 3 times the wage as a minimum compared to the u.s the prob have to rely on tips to make a living, thats why the cost is pro different
This is very unrelated, but I thought of a thing you might find interesting! In 1974 the King’s sister, the Princess Royal, was nearly kidnapped, and subsequently did an interview about it a few years later. As always she has an incredible wit!
It's classed as junk food, so it's highly taxed, things like sodium nitrite affects my breathing, so istay clear of cheep quard meat
Coleslaw with pizza is great as is sweetcorn and the garlic and herb dip is really good.
The uk dominos tend to have daily deals online or on the app typically we can get large dominos for 12.99 or two large for 20.00 typically knocks 30-50% off the price
Everyone in the UK orderd 12 inch pizza. Now we all know we been getting done. 😂
The big hint here is that he showed the coleslaw immediately after the chicken offerings. If you're having chicken, you might want chips and coleslaw with it.
All cured meats, such as bacon or "hard" sausages (like pepperoni), are going to contain nitrates and nitrites. They're part of the curing process. Cheaper meats will have more, since they're dosed more heavily to save time in curing -- but even the high-end ones will contain some.
I think the idea of dipping pizza in anything is weird, but Domino's always includes a pot of with their pizzas (garlic and herb by default), so I suppose some people do it. Ranch dressing is a USA-specific food, but standard garlic and herb dip isn't a million miles away.
Just as an aside, I left the USA in 1987, and there was no ranch dressing mania then. Hidden Valley Ranch had been selling their dressing for a few decades by then, and they advertised it mainly as a basic salad dressing, possibly with occasional mentions that it might be used as an ingredient to make dips ("dip" meaning a semi-solid stuff made to be scooped up with crisps or vegetables as a party nibble, not a liquid for dunking things in). It wasn't considered a flavour in its own right, and there wasn't any kind of craze about it. There must have been some kind of massive marketing push in the 1990s or 2000s.
Our flour is automatically enriched and doesn’t have to be listed, we probably have a very similar list of minerals in ours. Enriched flour helps people to achieve vital nutrients from a poor diet.
Coleslaw is great with pizza!
I ordered Dominoes for my grandchildren last year, and now nearly every other day I get emailed money off discounts and meal deals. I don't tend to eat any 'fast food' and if I do I make it at home, especially pizza as these days you can buy ready made pizza bases.
In the UK I'd most associate coleslaw with a cold food buffet at a party
That's so interesting. I wonder if the coleslaw is similar in the US vs UK. What I know is coleslaw is great as a side to fried fish, fried chicken and on a pulled pork bbq sandwich.
In my home and my son's homes, Pizza from Dominos or anywhere else is only eaten about twice a year. We tend to make our own pizza from scratch because it's a ton cheaper and just as tasty if not better. So, Dominos don't sell as many pizzas per capita in the UK as they do in the US which could be why they are more expensive. The base in the UK is thinner, and I think also that the ingredients used on UK pizzas are healthier with the product as a whole having less additives and unnecessary preservatives. So, to my mind, the financial cost may be less in the US, but at the expense of ones health. In the UK you can only buy raw milk directly from a farm, and any risk is yours alone.
Tuna and sweetcorn is the pizza I have every time! 🤣 Each to his own! I love pineapple but I can't eat a pizza that has had any on it at all! 😆
Might not have been available when this video was made but in the UK we have a crust called Double Decadence. It's like a cheese sauce sandwiched between two layers of thin base and it's the best thing ever
I miss the old dominator crust which was one of the ultra thin base on top of the normal base with cheese sauce between.
The UK is one of the only countries in the world where global pizza chains mark up their pizzas by about 700%, and dont be fooled by the whole "oh you usually buy with a deal" (thats the whole point, its *with* the deals taken into account, its the whole business model)
I thought the price seemed insane.
When I lived in SE UK we had to specify NOT have "maize" on your pizza. It shocked most of us the first time we ordered pizza and opened the box
When you buy from my local domino's you can often get some kind of deal like 2 for the price of one or 50% off. If you go to a none big chain pizza place you can get 3 large pizzas for £10
I dont do take away pizza much but when I do a pizza at home, its usually with a green salad and coleslaw,
I agree with you about Domino's being one of the better pizza places. I refuse to use Papa Johns after they took an order of mine via my smart phone and then bombarded me with text messages even though I'd opted out of their subscription / offers / mailing list. It took me 11 months to get them to stop and I had to threaten to go to the various ombudsman's.
Coleslaw with pizza is not something I've eaten however chips are a must if I'm feeling extra hungry or if I'm sharing. Also, I try not to buy soft drinks of any type from any fast food take-away as they're a total rip-off.
The garlic and herb dip is like crack, can’t eat Domino’s without it😂
I'd take the prices with a pinch of salt a nobody is paying full menu price at Domino's in the UK. They always have a 40% off code right there on the website and they also do deals such as two for Tuesday or the midweek saver.
I consider fast food a treat that's how I was brought up , I know I've shared a medium pizza before with my son and it was plenty . Is it not better to have fruit and veg at a cheaper price rather than an cheap take away .
I find the whole idea of dips and sides strange with pizza. For me, if you're having pizza, you are eating pizza......it's a meal in itself. I would expect there to be a generous layer of sauce under the other toppings and cheese, but nothing extra on the side. Clearly I am in a minority, or these things wouldn't be sold by pizza chains.....
As a Brit I would rather pay more for pizza if it as fresh ingredient rather than artificial ingredient. Americans need to ask how food is more expensive in shops than fast food outlets.
I have coleslaw with salad, battered or breaded fish fingers, other battered or breaded fish products, breaded chicken products, pizza, quiches, tarts (they have a tart or quiche pastry just the filling is different to a tart or similar to a quiche)
Sodium Propionate is a food preservative, looks like it's primary use is a mold inhibitor in bakery products. In food labelling it's E number E281
"Sodium propionate is the sodium salt of propionic acid that exists as colourless, transparent crystals or a granular crystalline powder. It is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food ingredient by FDA, where it acts as an antimicrobial agent for food preservation and flavouring agent. Its use as a food additive is also approved in Europe. Sodium propionate is is prepared by neutralizing propionic acid with sodium hydroxide. Sodium propionate was previously approved in Canada as an active ingredient in Amino-Cerv (used to treat inflammation or injury of the cervix)."
The prices are not as bad as you think, usually you can get a large pizza for collection for £10, we also have two for Tuesday, so basically buy on get on free. And of course, as you probably do, we have lunchtime offers, combo deals, the deal wizard and the vouchers so usually it comes down more than the price shown!
When I worked at domino's I found out the garlic bread cost 30p for the ingredients, it was sold for around a fiver! They're about 7 or 8 quid now.
They do some offers here like any pizza for 10 quid if you collect so that brings down cost a bit but in general its so expensive I started making my own, got the pizza screens, peel etc to do it.
Remember when you calculate prices its not just the ingredients cost, like domino's is still super expensive but you have to also add things like employee time and oven cost (that gets surprisingly expensive for business ovens), after that is overhead as you are never gonna charge at cost as that's just not smart ever, if you charge at cost other issues will cut into your already non existent profit and bankrupt you quick, domino's obviously doesn't have that with their crazy prices
@@DazsdWTP yeah, I kinda know how to cost up products, been doing it nearly 20 years now.
Dominos have just changed their prices, so it's now £8 £10 or £12.. however it used to be an absolute rip off for years!! Nobody ever bought dominos unless you were super rich or totally dumb. Now it's more reasonable but I still resent going there just because they tried to rip us off for decades!
Marinara is already on the pizza, so why would you need it as a dipping sauce? Would you dip fish and chips in batter???
I hear you on that front, I'm from Australia and I've personally never seen anyone add extra sauce to a pizza but influenced by Americans I've recently taken to dipping my garlic bread in marinara sauce at home and it's really good 😅
UK prices are including VAT at 20%. Delivery as well.
coleslaw is used in salads in the UK
oh wow this is interesting. the Domino's US pizza looks like the cheaper pizza we'd usually buy while domino's is a much more "premium" brand. you should definitely try UK dominos while you're here, they're really good
Sweetcorn is one of the best pizza toppings ever!!
I'd give it a go even though it's so unusual to me. It's interesting what different countries add to pizza. In SE Asia they enjoy adding banana to pizza, which is odd to us in the west, but to them it's a popular topping.
Sweetcorn is one of my favourite toppings. It’s super common 25:11 here. Tuna and sweetcorn is popular 🤣, I like it but I enjoy chicken and sweetcorn more. Recommend you try sweetcorn on a pizza.
Agreed, I always have it! Great with chicken or tuna.
In the UK all wheat products are enriched with calcium carbonate ,iron, niacin and thiamin by law (due to deficits the population specifically pregnant women before they know that they are pregnant ) even flour that you just buy from the shop so they just haven't included on the ingredients list separately just put wheat flour and everyone know that its enriched so the UK's list would be a bit longer if that was included.
Wow! I might actually order from Domino's if I lived in the UK. When I was young I used to eat from there, and a lot of places. Then I had a heart attack and searched for the healthiest way of eating I could find. I discovered the Ikarian way of eating. Since then, my cardio-vascular health has actually improved. I am absolutely repulsed at the things that get added into food in the US. So I no longer eat processed foods. I only eat from fresh ingredients and primarily do my own cooking. I have come to think that (conspiracy theory time) that we are fed things that will destroy our health and shorten our life span, priming us for the need for more intensive medical care, which helps to keep us poorer, and for the need for significant end of life care. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, really, but I do think what I have just said is actually born out in fact. Sadly. Glad to hear you try to eat healthier, Steve. Good on you. Peace
I do believe the conspiracy’s about this, big pharma don’t make any money from the healthy or the dead populace that’s why they want us sick. It’s diabolical. Good on you for eating healthy, healthy food means healthy body & healthy mind x
Grocery stores are cheaper in the UK and fast food more expensive because we are encouraged to cook fresh meals and refrain from eating fast food regularly (though you never pay full price for dominoes as there's always deals and vouchers available)
I love coleslaw and pizza, although don't buy many take away pizzas and have never had a Dominos.
That’s why I don’t use Dominoes Pizza, because of the price.
A 9 inch Pizza at my local takeout is £5.99.
Yeah, Domino's is tasty but really damn expensive now. I used to be able to get a medium delivered for about £14, now its just under £20. I just can't justify that anymore unless I'm eating with friends and can get a deal.
Loving your videos, especially when you react to the US vs UK videos!
Thanks I appreciate it. I really enjoy the comparison videos.
All fast food in the UK has rocketted in price. But you can halve the cost of pizza if you get it from a non-restaurant takeaway outlet. At least for Pizza Hut.
Back between 2011 and 2013 I was in sixth form, my local Dominos pizza which is just down the road from my house used to sell an individual 7 inch pizza to the local sixth form students for a special price of just £1 (around $1.25). Sometimes myself and my mates would get this for lunch during our 50 minute lunch break but it was a good distance from the school, perhaps 3/4 of a mile so wasn't something we often did. Back then I remember wondering how they could sell it for £1 and make profit but now I realise just how cheap pizza is and the markup on it at these sort of places is huge. A small dominos pizza might cost £13-£15, yet the cost to Dominos is probably no more than £2-£3 maximum, my sister used to work at the local one for about 6 months and she said the markup was huge and with a lot of the staff the hygiene was poor, they'd often use the toilet, not wash their hands and then come straight out and start making pizza.
Coleslaw with a pizza is heaven.
I get a Chicken, Sweetcorn and Bacon thin or Italian crust Pizza when ordering from Domino's. I stick with Chicken strippers and wedges for sides. My sister has problems with gluten, but the sweetcorn is really good.
Its an irregular occurrence because it costs a bomb, but there's one two streets down from my house. If I order online, I get it delivered within 5 mins of ordering.
It's a bit of a con job - they give out discount codes and special deals, but they don't cover half the things they sell. (Drinks and Ice Cream is never included in the deals.)
Garlic and herb dip is addictive!
Marinara as a dip though? Ooo would never had thought to have that! We don't have it in UK though
Dominoes pizza is very good , I like the dominoes herbs on top. The garlic & herb dip is also very good , I cannot imagine having a marinara dip lol. Also as others have said you never pay full price I get the small pizza can choose 4 toppings and a small garlic bread for £6.99
My Co-op is currently running an offer of 2 large pizzas and 4 beers for £6 (but it's not covered in grease - sorry)
The folded pizza is a Calzone and originated in Naples
I can’t eat a pizza unless Iv got coleslaw with it! We also have coleslaw at the salad bar in Pizza Hut.
personally I'd never buy dominoes as they are horrid and hard, I'd rather go to one of our local pizza places and buy one of theirs ... plus they tend to be much cheaper - oh and yo really HAVE to try coleslaw with pizza it's a tastebud experience
11:54 a lot of those ingredients are actually good for you. It’s like fortified cereal. Fortified with vitamins and minerals. All that stuff in the enhanced flour is minerals the body needs and probably won’t get from a diet high in fast food.
Ascorbic Acid doesn’t sound great, but it’s actually just Vitamin C I think.
15:22 Sodium Propionate. Sodium is salt. Propionate, I think it’s just saying the salt is powder or finely ground or something.
Price wise in the UK though there's nearly always deals on. Quite often they have a permanent buy one get one free on takeaway.
I worked at a major "fast food supply" warehouse when i was a teenager. I spilled an entire pallet of banana peppers for subway when i didn't have it completely on the forks. It was so much i cannot ever eat them again. It was terrible.
I love chicken and sweetcorn pizza. It's also lovely on a seafood pizza.
Ours are probably made in metric, could explain size difference
You were surprised by the sweetcorn but that is nothing compared to the Pizza's I had in the mid 1980 which was Black Olives with Anchovies. The Pizza shop was pick your own toppings which totalled 20 different items to choose from, such as Bacon, Ham, Pepperoni, Tuna, Olives. pineapple and many other weird and wonderful things. This was in a small market town in Lincolnshire (Sleaford) and they were some of the best I have ever tasted.
I am totally stunned to see my town mentioned. Yay Sleaford 😃
With Dominos they have so many offers that make it difficult to do a straight price comparison. If I were to order now from my local one I can get buy one get one free on any size pizza or various other deals - free sides and discounts etc. I don't think many people ever pay full price
If you think sweetcorn on pizza sounds nuts... I went to Sweden a few times and discovered a common pizza includes banana, peanuts and curry sauce... honestly wasn't as bad as i was expecting hungover. One huge thing to note in the UK, virtually nobody orders at regular price and most people will wait for a 40% off coupon or two for tuesdays deals. For example, if i was to pay regular price for my usual large stuffed crust pizza, that would set me back £27.48 + £2.49 delivery... So £29.97 ($38.21) for one damn pizza delivered without special prices!
