One thing to note: US labeling laws are much stricter than in Europe. You have all those chemicals in your food too, they're just not required to list it all out like in the US.
yeah, they both have it...."niacin" is aka "vitamin b3", so the UK one definitely has it....."Thiamine Mononitrate" is also known as "vitamin b1"...neither of them is scary lol 🙂 A lot of paranoid people will say "oh the USA has all these chemicals in our food" ....uh, no, it doesn't. It's like saying "why do we Americans poison ourselves with oxygen hydroxide, when the Europeans drink water" It's the same thing lmao 🙂
I've lived all over the US - east, northeast, south, California - and local pizza shops are the go-to everywhere I've lived. Dominos was a common go-to when I was in college because it was the cheapest. Dominos is never - NEVER - the best pizza option in the US.
100% agreed frozen microwave pizza from the store is better and when i say frozen even the cheap variety are a better option. Plus have you ever noticed when you eat Dominos Pizza your running to the rest room moments afterwards? Where I live if you want the delivery and it's not a local joint go with Papa Johns.
At my local Domino's, you can get 2 medium 2 topping pizzas for $6.99 each. Or mix and match everything from the sandwiches to the pasta dishes. It's really inexpensive.
@@garryandjanepannell8594 I wish our little Caesar’s hadn’t all closed . I loved their crazy bread . Loaded with Parmesan . So good . I remember for some reason going to the video store and getting little Caesar’s . When we left to do that oj was pulling out onto the highway in his white bronco . It will always remind me of that . Because they were still going when we got home and ate it lol . 90s we’re crazy times
@dawnyoung2294 We have Little Caesars here, but I miss 1990's Little Caesars! The term pizza pizza actually meant something! I remember how they used to package both pizzas on those long pieces of cardboard wrapped in the huge paper sleeve! The pizzas were better quality, too.
Folic acid is a normal part in a dietary system... pregnant women are prescribed extra. Or some folks have to take it in tandem with other medications. Riboflavin _another one of those necessary nutrients.
The UK is more colorful, because there's MORE CHEESE on the American one, and that covers up the red of the sauce. In the US, food labels are REQUIRED to list EVERYTHING. I do like Domino's, but there's not one near me. I usually do Casey's (convenience store chain) pizza, or Pizza Hut.
7:00 we have to list everything that makes up a product. Hence the list of vitamins & minerals in the dough and so on. My family's go to is Papa Murphy's, which is a take & bake... unless I makes it from scratch. Also, Ranch dressing for dipping is the bomb!!! Domino's Chocolate Lava Crunch Cake is awesome!!!😋
While Domino's is popular here just because they have so many locations they are not our go to pizza. In many cities and counties they have their own local pizza places which tend to be more authentic and better just in case you're wondering this is someone from the United States😊
Why did you ask if there's Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the US? It was invented by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont. They had been friends since childhood in Merrick, New York.
This guy seems to not understand that many of those chain restaurants are American companies. I don’t get why he’s always surprised that we have more items on our menus. Of course there are ingredients that aren’t allowed in the UK but there still will just be more options were it was created. It would be the same here if it was a British based company. They would have items there that we wouldn’t get in America. Dominoes is an American company does he not understand that?! He does that with McDonalds and KfC. Lol
A lot of those ingredients in the pizza crust at least the beginning are actually vitamins. Like niacin is an added vitamin/mineral. In America the ingredients have to include the vitamins/mineral as well, I'm not saying that some of those ingredients are not stabilizers and preservatives . Just keep in mind when you see ingredients from the US they have to include added vitamins and minerals
To be fair, other chains (like Pizza Hut) have what they call 'personal' pizzas which are pretty much the same as 'individual' in the UK. Also, larger thin-crust pizzas (commonly referred to as 'New York Style') are customarily folded in half radially so you can carry it around and nosh without anything dripping/falling off. FYI ~ Thiamin (B1), Niacin (B3), Riboflavin (B2), and Folic Acid (B9) are B-complex vitamins which are essential nutrients. Prior to WWII, there were massive outbreaks of diseases like Pellagra because limited diets (particularly among poorer populations) lacked sufficient B-complex vitamins. In response, after decades of research by pioneers like Joseph Goldberger, the USDA mandated the inclusion of these vitamins in all basic foodstuffs like wheat flour and corn meal. Calcium Sulfate and Calcium Phosphate are naturally-occurring salts which provide (obviously) calcium in a form more readily absorbed than from milk, with the added bonus of not containing lactose. The main difference between the UK and US dough is that the latter adds trace amounts of salt and natural sugars for a more appealing flavor. Banana peppers are mild, semi-sweet, and tangy - named for their long cylindrical shape and yellow coloring. FYI #2 ~ The chocolate lava cakes are the best! Crispy outside like a cookie, chewy inside like a brownie, with a melted dark-chocolate center!
I’m from Pennsylvania and to be honest our Mom and Pop pizza shops have some of the best pizza. Dominos has gone downhill. When they first opened they were great and the same for Pizza Hut.
@@m2hmghb Both the ones here closed a few years ago due to no one going because they were absolutely filthy and stunk. Elsewhere, they're combining them in those 2 in 1 drive thru with another joint.
I use to be a manager at Domino's. I would eat this every day. Crazy thing was that I never got tired of it. The UK pizza looks like it doesn't have garlic butter on its crust. That's why the American one looks greasier, but it is so good. People would always ask me to put that garlic butter all over the pizza. I think overkill, but hey we had no problem hooking them up.
I know people in the Uk love dominoes and tbf people in the us do too but dominoes is generally regarded as pretty bad pizza. Its only popular due to how cheap it is comparatively to local pizzerias
@@slabriprock5329 I go by leftover quality. Frozen pizzas are horrible leftover. Then comes Dominos, after that comes the cheap options like Ceasars, then Pizza Hut (surprised they used decent cheese for the price), then small chain pizzarias like Mellow Mushroom in the south, then the quality one time restaurants like a few chicago and new york joints.
OMGSHHHH! When I went to the UK and ordered a pizza, it came with sweet corn on it and I cried like a fool because I hate sweet corn! ( Y’all also made Nachos completely different) Don’t get me started on asking for salad dressing 😂
Dominos is far down the list for us. Local non chain pizza is much better. We used to eat Dominos about 15 years ago until they started bombing it with garlic. That's all you could taste. Haven't been back since.
In 2010 Dominoes changed it's pizza recipes from the crust up . . . Everything got updated/upgraded . . . They taste a lot better than they did before. 😋 😊
@@L3WGReacts I’m not surprised it’s costing you guys more there in Great Britain than here in the States. I actually most of the time just go to my local pizza shop for pizza but I will on occasion go to Dominos or I will go to another pizza chain that’s called “Little Ceasar’s” and I only have to pay around $15-$20 in total for a pizza and Crazy Bread.
@@HappyHoney41 I love walking in and paying about what I would pay for a large combo meal at a fast food place, and stuffing myself to the point I'm legit scared to move for fear of busting my stomach. Then have to suffer in pain from all the bumps in the road driving home.

Once upon a time (1980s), if you read a certain number of books in school, you could get a free "Personal Pan Pizza" from Pizza Hut (I know this is Dominos). That first pizza was almost exactly what it looked like, and it was SUCH a treat! It'd burn the roof of your mouth, but darn it if I didn't read hundreds of books in elementary school (age 6-12). My guess the size difference is in metric. It's X number of centimeters instead of inches, so comes out to half an inch smaller.
I remember I used to be able to take my report card to my local video store and get a free movie/game rental for every grade above a 90. I would be set for the summer.

We are required to list the chemical compounds of ingredients. What is this common ingredient? calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and vitamins B6, B12, A, and folic acid, riboflavin and thiamine. Those are the chemical compounds of an egg. So yes, it sounds like we have tons of chemicals but we’re not allowed to just say “eggs” on a nutrition label.
We actually have a family owned pizzeria for our go to. They make their own pizza shells from homemade dough and sauce, but will buy and use toppings from other places.
My preferred pizza is my homemade pizza, . . . from scratch. But my go to takeout pizza is from my local Pizzeria. Honestly, I haven't eaten Dominoes since the 1970's. That is when it opened the first take-out Pizza shop in the area. Then the local Italian restaurants put in a "take-out" counter. Domino's is to pizza, what McDonald's is to burgers. The food isn't good, but you know what to expect.
In the US, I can honestly say most people prefer pizza from small mom and pop places. I know I do. BUT, the prices you pay for Domino's is basically what we pay in small shops, so I go to Domino's or Papa John's based on specials. I also pickup so I don't have to pay extra for delivery. Right now, Domino's has a pickup deal for any size 1-topping pizza for $7.99. That's what I do, and my husband eats the leftover for breakfast.
We have a local pizza called JV Pizza that has the large 16" pepperoni pizza at $7. It's across from one of the high schools and does killer business. Pan Pizza is $1.50 more. (pan pizza is a thicker crust that is painted with butter before putting it in the oven.)
For a pizza chain, our go to is Marco's or for cheaper pizza Little Caesars. I sometimes make homemade, which is even cheaper. For a non chain, we like a local place called Frankie's. It's a wonderful Italian restaurant that also does carryout. But if we go there, we eat there.
We definitely have pizza that small in America 😂 it’s called a personal pan pizza but it’s a Pizza Hut thing and yes we have Ben and Jerry’s (it’s American) just not at dominos 😂 big chains like dominos and Pizza Hut are rarely the best pizza places in America.
Most the stuff you can't read is vitamins Folick acid fireman that's what the enriched flower is it's enriched with vitamins, added and minerals. Dextrin is a sugar dextrose is a sugar, so no is just instead of rise, which would be canola over here. Absorb acid is vitamin C, calcium, sulfate, calcium, a lot of the items are like different sugars and salts. They're the types of sugar and the type of salt and then tons of vitamins enzymes helps break down things.
Banana peppers are a sweet, pickled pepper that is shaped like a banana and is yellow the really good and I hate peppers and pickles but I like banana peppers
I think it’s important to note, when you think of how good the food is in the US, you need to set that aside once you enter the realm of the big chains lol. I would expect anywhere else to have better ingredients and better quality once you get into this territory. The US systematically punishes the poor by offering abysmal options on the cheaper end.
Meh, your body doesn't know the difference. 2000 calories is 2000 calories. If you consume 4000 calories a day, that's too much, even if it's 4000 calories of home cooked, organic food fresh from the farm. 🙂
I don't get pizza from pizza chains like Dominos. I go to a locally owned, family run pizza restaurant. WAY better than any chain brand.. freshly made dough, homemade sauce and lots of mozzarella. Then there are the toppings.. lots to choose from: Meats like pepperoni, Italian sausage, sometimes other ethnic sausages, beef, ham or bacon. There are different cheeses besides mozzarella, like Parmesan or goat cheese. There's a variety of veggies like onions, peppers (sweet and hot), and mushrooms. There's also different sauces, the traditional red tomato sauce and a white sauce, like an Alfredo sauce, for a "white" pizza . And that's not the complete list. Besides pizza there are daily dinner specials like lasagna, manicotti, stuffed shells and spaghetti and meatballs. This restaurant is quite small, 90% take out ( or take away), with just a few tables for eating in. Most US cities have pizza restaurants like this. Going to Dominos or Pizza Hut is a last resort.
I don't like any of the pizza chains. That first UK pizza is the size of a pizza you'd find in a 7-11 or gas station. LOL In the US Costco has an 18 inch deluxe pizza for $9.95 - you can also get a hotdog and a refillable fountain drink for a $1.50 there. 7:05 Those are vitamins. (enriched flour) Banana peppers are like pepperoncini.
Eh…you also pay like $120 a year for a Costco membership, don’t just make blanket statements without the full facts. I actually prefer my local big y pizza to Costco.

btw, British food has BHT too. They're not required to list it. "BHA and BHT remain on the list of approved food additives in the UK. All foods approved by the Food Standards Agency must pass through various health studies and are only permitted for use if deemed safe for human consumption."
Out of the main chains we have here, I'm personally a papa john fan, with pizza hut following a close second. Dominos has burned me too many times with poor service and bad pizza (The locations around me just suck). Outside of main pizza chains we have a regional one called mellow mushroom with has really fresh toppings which I love.
Our Domino's here in the U.S. usually is too salty for the oven-baked sandwiches and the desserts are absolutely dry. They NEED the cream cheese frosting! I recently discovered that we can customize to get square cut pizzas (not just for rectangular pizzas, but the circle ones as well). I LOVE their bread bowls for the pasta! Oh and last thing: If we're not in a rush for pizza, it is so cheap getting the 16" at Aldi's 🤤
The US also has regional/state exclusives. Apparently only, or primarily in Indiana you can get cheese sauce (specifically for the breadsticks/garlic knots), which blew my mind when I learned this. It’s exceptionally difficult to find cheese sauce outside of the state. Also most people’s go to pizza is a smaller local place.
Where I live, Dominos is like the "well, I got 10 bucks, and it's 1a.m., I'll just get a pizza." But we're nicknamed Little Italy, so we have a lot of ma & pa restaurants the make real pizzas haha.
I prefer Pizza Hut over Domino's. But generally, the best place for pizza is usually going to be a local pizza joint. We have a great one not too far from us that serves New York-style pizza, and it's amazing! When you come to the U.S., definitely give a local pizza place a try.
Okay here's the thing, don't pay attention to the diameters in the 1 to 1 size comparisons. They take a standardized clump of dough and manually stretch it. It's very possible that whoever stretched the dough simply stretched on the smaller side. There's a LOT of subjectivity to dominos pizzas when it comes to making them. It's not uncommon to force drivers to help make pizzas when they're slammed and need more hands. And drivers tend to hate making pizzas and don't care if they sucked at it to prevent being asked to help. At my store they had a period of time where they put too much cheese and we were 55 POUNDS of cheese over after a week and the owner had to buy scales to cut back on the line workers putting too much ingredients. So it's entirely possible that while the American pizzas were half an inch smaller they were also slightly thicker. Something else interesting is at many stores you can't get larger than large. The reason is they tried extra large and had trouble getting the centers cooked fully. However, I suspect what the store in the video did was use a large dough and stretch is further so its a lot thinner. This is what we did for Brooklyn style pizzas which were much thinner, we stretch a medium dough to large size. The fact that the extra large had only 6 slices makes me believe that the extra large is basically an extra large Brooklyn. The reason it's only 6 slices is so you can roll it sorta like a taco when you eat it and it isn't floppy and be thin enough that it cooks fully.
Dominos is the taco bell of our pizzas. You get it because its cheap and open late. The good pizza is from all the local family owned shops usually. Also if you order online there a deals always available to get a Large 2 topping pizza for $7.99
This is why Americans feel like a sponge, when you hug them, and Brit’s still feel like human beings. (from the perspective of a Canadian, raised by an English mom and a Northern Irish dad)
The icing is just powdered sugar with water or milk. In my hometown you can also get cinnamon bread with the icing( cinnamon and sugar and melted butter on bread sticks).

Former Pizza Hut & Domino's driver in California here. In the 1990's, the large was 16 inches across and the Medium was 12 inches. In the 2000's, they made the pizzas smaller.
most people i know, when ordering out for pizza. will generally order from a place that isn't a chain restaurant, rather a family owned place that usually make pizza's that are wayyyyyyy better than domino's or pizza hut. the small city i live in has less than 30 thousand people in it.and we have at least 10 to 15 family owned places to choose from the only chain that makes really good pizza's here are OIP,
I live in Boston, so there's a lot of options for food, other than chains. I have a choice between Italian and Greek style crust and a lot of places do their own special menu items. There are enough options that it really just becomes a matter of preference. I still haven't tried all the pizza places in the area I live in.
Domino's pizza is drunk food only in my part of the US. I live in the "pizza belt" which runs from Northern New Jersey through New Haven Connecticut. World class pizza here. Look into specifically New Haven Pizza and specifically Pepe's Pizza or Sally's Pizza in New Haven. Anyway, banana peppers are a mild pickled pepper, common in the US, slightly milder than a pickled jalapeno.
I have never eaten a Domino's Pizza, Whenever I go to get a pizza I go to an authentic Italian pizza shop, Which they make their pizzas fresh out of all natural foods and they don't use all the chemicals that Domino's uses in their pizzas. And they make it right in front of you and they use real cheeses and they use their own family recipe for the pizza sauce which makes their Pizza taste a hundred times better than Domino's. 🤗
Domino Farms in Ann Arbor, Michigan was the headquarters for the company. Tom Monyhan the founder, was an orphan brought up by Catholic nuns and served as a US Marine. I live about 30 minutes away from the farm.
As an american I'd like to say: Earlier in this vid I was thinking, "its domino's one of the only pizza places in the UK?" Because if it is, then their prices r higher because they have a semi-monopoly on pizza there. In the US, u'll find a pizza places around every corner in cities n even some in towns. They have a billion competitors all over the US so they have to have more reasonable prices for customers to come to them instead of turning to the cheaper local pizza places. We also have major pizza competaors throughout the US. Dominos against Papa John's against Pizza Hut, etc. The big name franchises put up a fight so they have to battle for their place at the top. My assumption is that it isn't like that in the UK. That dominos doesn't have to fight many local or franchised pizza parlors so they can freely decide on higher prices since who else r u gonna go to? My family prefers a local place. Not cuz the pizza's better necessarily (nothing beats dominos crusts) but because their prices r more managable for my family. In comparison to proportion. To feed my family, we have to get a party sized pizza with a small cheese pizza on the side (the small cheese is a coupon thing that lasts eternally). The cost of them totals to under 40$. When we get dominos, we put 40$ as our spending limit n end up getting 4 medium boxes of different types. Sometimes we chuck in a desert (those brownies r heavenly) or an additional pizza or 2. But we treat dominos as the more expensive option since we r getting probably half of what we get from the other place. Even tho we get 4 boxes from 1 n 2 from the other, one of the 2 boxes is so big it's an adult's wingspan. From 1 end to the other reaches ur finger tips. N it's so big that it's all cut into squares so if someone doesn't want the crust, they don't have to have any. It's financially better to get that pizza but dominos tastes better (all that seasoning 👌)
No-one with an ounce of taste and/or knowledge would even have a Dominoes in their home. You would have to tie me down and force feed me! I get mine from a local family owned restaurant that makes its own dough, sauce and cheese and uses fresh toppings. This is only for nights when I don't have time to make my own! Everything here is not better if you haven't noticed. Respect from the US!
The extra large is cut New York Style ( Supposedly ) its $ 11.99 for a Extra Large with just cheese , each additional topping is around $ 2.00. EVERY pizza place sells Hoagies ( Sandwiches ) in the U.S
We actually at Domino's for 699. You get a 12 inch medium pizza, cheesy bread either or the chicken. You know everything that you see there. They have a special for 699 a pie for each pizza. And that's 22 toppings, so you can get jalapeno and cheese bacon. You can get pepperoni and bacon and blue obviously, cheese doesn't count as an item.
I wouldn't say Domino's is the go to for pizza here, for sure.. lol. It's usually local family owned or local chains. There's different styles of pizza based on region in the US, etc. That might actually be something cool for you to check out in another video, actually. Deep-dish ("chicago style"), new-york style, etc etc. Pizza chains for times when you just need something quick/cheaper or bulk for events and things. We have Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Papa Murphy's, Little Caesar's I think as most of the national chains.
We have SO many pizza places to choose from that I'm not sure there is a main "go-to" where I live. Dominoes is fairly popular because it's really cheap. My family aren't big fans of Dominoes. We really like a chain called Round Table that exists only in the western U.S. It's more expensive, but a lot higher quality in my opinion.
I have lived in 10 or so college towns; Domino's are usually near the dorms. This model goes back to the 1970s when students rarely had cars, plus they were the early pioneers in (40 min or less) deliveries. When they started, they were actually a sandwich shop.
Locally, we have 10 different pizza places: (listed in my preference to eat, opinions will vary) 1) Marco's 2) Rotolo's 3) Napoletana's 4) Hunt Brothers 5) Smitty's 6) Pizza Hut 7) Johnny's 8) Papa John's 9) Little Ceasar's 10) Domino's
The cellulose is pizza cheese at US chains is essentially saw dust. Many chains did this starting in the mid 90s to cut cheese costs. I don't eat at chains when there are tons of mom & pop pizza places to choose from and they use actual food as ingredients rather than fillers to cut costs.
As a US Citizen I've Never actually had Domino's. We always order from local owned Italian restaurants. Vincenzo's Pizzaria, Arcaro's Pizzaria, Roberto's Pizzaria, Brownies Pizzaria, Roseanna's Hoagies. These are authentic restaurants that use high quality ingredients. And average large pizzas with extra cheese costs about $18.
We have Ben & Jerry's in the US everywhere. But in terms of ordering it with your pizza, other chains made deals with Ben & Jerry's to exclusively offer it in their restaurants in their markets. So, Dominos itself does not carry it right now but you can order it from Papa Ginos and other restaurants in different regions. I miss the 90's for Dominos, they had the Dominator pizza which measured 10"x30". They also had a promotion of getting to your door within 30 minutes or it was free and on big game nights everyone would order and hope their house was one of the last ones to get served.
I live in Texas and my go to pizza place is a family owned pizzeria, but if I do order from a chain, it’s Pizza Hut. The only time I have Domino’s is if someone else has ordered pizza.
Here in southern Louisiana, if you're willing to pick up your pizza from Domino's, they have a $7.99 (€6.32) large pizza with any three toppings. We have Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Little Caesar's, Marco's Pizza, Sbarro, and so much more. Best pizza is from a family owned restaurants.
I don't eat pizza very often, but if I were to order a pizza today, Domino's would not be my first choice. I used to get a fair amount of Domino's in college and it wasn't great. Apparently they have since updated the recipe to make it better, but if not ordering from a local place, my first choice of a chain restaurant would probably be Mark's. I don't know how widespread they are.
That white thing is just sugar glaze... I believe it was a leftovers dipping from when Domino's used to offer cinnamon sugar bread sticks as one of the dessert/side options... I dunno when it's off the menu but that sugar glaze stuck around... Edit: Just checked... it's back, but with a gimmicky "spin" on it... it is now called cinnamon bread twist (bread twist has 2 other savory options of garlic bread twist and parmesan bread twist).
Here in the US they have a "2 or more Menu Options (Medium for pizzas with 2 toppings) for $6.99 each. So, you could get three 2 topping Medium Pizzas for $21 ... Which would be around $25 delivered. $30 if you you leave a Fat Tip too.
I live in the US near Chicago and I prefer to buy my pizza from mom and pop, locally owned restaurants. If I decide to order from a chain, it's usually a Chicago style place like Giordano's.
No, that is not cream. It's icing made from confectioner's sugar, sometimes alittle cream (but I don't think theirs has much if any) water and vanilla. We have the same icing on cinnamon rolls. You can get banana peppers at Subway too. It's a mildly sweet snd mildly spicy pepper. A lot of people prefer Pizza Hut if there isn't a locally owned place. Pizza but has a personal pan pizza that is smaller. A place called Little Cesar's Pizza has something similar. Our ingrediants lists break down ingrediants into their chemical components. I once saw something that listed 'hydroxide' intead of 'water' Ben and Jerry's is an American company. So you can get it in a lot of places but not in association with other companys ususlly. We get bread sticks covered in cinnamon sugar from dominoes. The chees bread comes in 3 different choices. We have a jalepeno and cheddar one even.
Those are vitamins and minerals: Iron, thiamine mononitrate, niacin, riboflavin, folic acid, ascorbic acid, calcium sulfate, and calcium phosphate. L-cystine is an amino acid. Most of us could do with more of those.
Most of those things that sound scary are just the chemical names of various vitamins that you've probably already heard of (Primarily variants of vitamin B and vitamin C).
The best pizza in any town is the local joint. Domino's is open real late though, so it's a substitute when you're drunk or about to be. But, your video inspired me to write an e-mail complimenting my local staff. They're world class, seriously.
Lew's mind would be blown if he could see the $6.99 mix and match deals we get in the U.S. at Domino's. He'd REALLY be pi$$ed about the prices we get over here then.
Most of the folks I know only choose dominoes for late night delivery when other stores aren't open. However, when I was a teenager dominoes had a deal with our school district and supplied pizza for lunches every day. I literally ate dominoes pizza and french fries for school lunch for an e tire year lol. But tbh none of the big pizza chains really excite me. Pizza Hut now and then comes out with these mammoth family deals where you get like 2 feet of pizza, wings, bread sticks, coca cola etc for like 30$. Little Caesars is kinda plain tasting but is.the quickest and cheapest. Godfather's pizza probably is the most generous with it's toppings. Yet one pizza place may excite you more than others and it's called Cicis Pizza. They make the most outlandish pizzas like Mac and cheese pizza, sweet chipotle, and so many others I can't name...plus you can custom make anything. Large touchscreens help you navigate the choices and build the pizza perfect for you, and in 10 minutes or less it's ready, hot and fresh. Finally..THE BEST pizza in America will not be found at these major businesses. Quite often a corner shop in Queens....or a bar in an Iowa town of 170 people....or a random dive in the middle of nowhere...it's these "mom and pop" owned places that you find the real treasures. Pizza and otherwise
Domino's is the standard by which American pizza is judged. That doesn't mean it's the best or most peoples' favorite, rather that it's the common reference point -- everyone's had a Domino's pepperoni. They're fine; "grand" as the Irish would say, not the best by any means but cheap and ubiquitous and it'll be at your door in under 30 min. (I used to live a block away... 10 min and the temperature of lava) It's a moving day tradition among young adults; get a few friends to help you move your stuff because you can't afford to hire movers, in return for pizza and beer when the job's done. Since you don't know the neighborhood places yet, Domino's gets the call.
Domino’s, Pizza Hut, and Papa John’s are all over the US, some of the big chains. But my fav are always local pizza places. If i order in though, it’s Dominos. I like New York style pizza best. Thin but foldable slices with crisp and chewy crust 🙌🙌🙌
You should see the size of slices of pizza in NYC and it is way better than Domino’s! If you ever get to NYC or Chicago, you have to get pizza! Chicago has deep dish pizza! These styles are the best in the US!
Depending on where in America you live, your alternatives could be way better. I live in New Jersey which is New York Pizza territory. We have so many great pizza places, I only eat dominoes if I'm craving pizza after midnight since they're the only ones open. But i do prefer them over the other fast food pizzas like Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, etc.
Things like thiamine and riboflavin are B vitamins. They're put into a lot of foods to enrich them- that is, to make sure you don't have nutritional deficiencies when you eat them. Thiamine is vitamin B1, riboflavin is B2, niacin is B3, folic acid is vitamin B9.
most of the chemicals listed are the chemicals names for vitamins, and america requires all foods to be listed for allergy reasons, europe mostly uses the same things we do but are not required by law to break down every ingredient down to its individual compounds
Dude, you can get just a plain old cheese Brooklyn Style X-Large for $11.99! You can get a small for just $5.99. The medium is $7.99 and the large is $9.99. The highest price pizza they offer is if you get a specialty X-Large which is $17.99 Those are every day prices but they frequently offer deals online where you can get add ons like drinks and sides and still get it for less than $20. Not only that but the more you order, the more points you build up and you can get discounted prices up to totally free pizzas. The sandwiches from Domino's are pretty good. Their garlic knots are the bomb! I have no idea what my go-to is. I have a Pizza Hut and a Domino's each just 2 minutes away from me. I have a Little Caesar's just across the street. I also have a couple of Papa John's that are close by. There are also some regional and local chains so I have at least 7 pizza places that are less than a 10 minute drive away. It really just depends on my mood. I live in the suburbs and I've been in different cities and suburbs and like mine, they are filled with national, local, and regional pizza chains. There's a massive amount of variety from which to choose. Americans loooooove pizza.
I can get anywhere from a $6 large pepperoni at 7-11 to a $50 prosciutto and pear from the cool Italian place downtown. When you come to the US, definitely avoid Dominos in favor of more local places when you can
The reason yours looks so much saucier is because we add a shit ton of cheese to our pizzas in America. Slices are thicker or bigger because they are heavy. You can fold ours in half which is how many eat it. We have numerous deserts here as well that weren't mentioned. The prices are low because we have at least three other competitors and they fight for orders. Papa johns Caesars are two that are strong competition. In many pizza places there are pasta sandwich soup a salad bar and at some an ice cream bar. It's pretty elaborate. I prefer Papa johns it just has a fresher taste with some ingredients dominos doesn't have.
some of those weird chemicals in the US pizza are actual vitamins (therefore "enriched"). for example, niacin is vitamin B3, which is one of the essential B vitamins. btw, this comparison is making me want to save some money by ordering a pizza :D ; no idea ours were so much cheaper than yours...
Those weird words at the top are B vitamins. I just looked online for pizza delivery and I have 12 options but my favorite is my homemade one. Banana peppers are just long green peppers that are pickled and medium spicey. The price difference is probably because it's a franchise and the owner can, to a certain extent, charge what they want.
To be fair folic acid is found in vitamins and fortified foods. It actually helps the body make healthy new blood cells and that helps protect the body from becoming anemic. Banana peppers is a medium sized chili pepper that has a mild taste. I'm not a fan of them but the juice has a vinegar taste and I use it for our leafy green vegetables.
As another poster mentioned, in the US EVERY ingredient has to be listed in mostly scientific terms. Ascorbic acid for instance is just Vitamin C, Calcium Sulfate is a naturally occurring calcium salt. If you look back in history on breads in the Victorian era the posher whiter breads had alum, chalk, sawdust etc in their recipes to make them cheaper, whiter and heavier (YUMMY!)
One thing to note: US labeling laws are much stricter than in Europe. You have all those chemicals in your food too, they're just not required to list it all out like in the US.
Yep. Everyone here is allergic to something… gluten, lactose, dragon meat, etc

Facts
@@rachellevel8982😂😂
yeah, they both have it...."niacin" is aka "vitamin b3", so the UK one definitely has it....."Thiamine Mononitrate" is also known as "vitamin b1"...neither of them is scary lol 🙂
A lot of paranoid people will say "oh the USA has all these chemicals in our food" ....uh, no, it doesn't. It's like saying "why do we Americans poison ourselves with oxygen hydroxide, when the Europeans drink water"
It's the same thing lmao 🙂
I've lived all over the US - east, northeast, south, California - and local pizza shops are the go-to everywhere I've lived. Dominos was a common go-to when I was in college because it was the cheapest. Dominos is never - NEVER - the best pizza option in the US.
I would agree with you from decades ago when I was in college, too. But since the 2000s the quality has been better
idk why i laughed hard as shit at you listing places you’ve lived and then all of a sudden CALIFORNIA, srry i must be high cause that was hilarious
i still wouldn't compare dominos to any actual pizzeria, but when it's done right, it's extremely tasty.
Agreed!!
100% agreed frozen microwave pizza from the store is better and when i say frozen even the cheap variety are a better option. Plus have you ever noticed when you eat Dominos Pizza your running to the rest room moments afterwards? Where I live if you want the delivery and it's not a local joint go with Papa Johns.
Again, it IS chemistry. We break our foods down to the chemical compound of ALL ingredients.
At my local Domino's, you can get 2 medium 2 topping pizzas for $6.99 each.
Or mix and match everything from the sandwiches to the pasta dishes.
It's really inexpensive.
The look on his face when they said 13.99 lol😂
Nice! Sounds better than Little Caesars wish our Domino's hadn't closed.
@@garryandjanepannell8594 I wish our little Caesar’s hadn’t all closed . I loved their crazy bread . Loaded with Parmesan . So good . I remember for some reason going to the video store and getting little Caesar’s . When we left to do that oj was pulling out onto the highway in his white bronco .
It will always remind me of that . Because they were still going when we got home and ate it lol . 90s we’re crazy times
@dawnyoung2294 We have Little Caesars here, but I miss 1990's Little Caesars! The term pizza pizza actually meant something! I remember how they used to package both pizzas on those long pieces of cardboard wrapped in the huge paper sleeve! The pizzas were better quality, too.
@@dawnyoung2294 First thing I thought about was the $6.99 deals.
The enriched flour in the US, are vitamins like iron, riboflavin and folic acid. Cause people cant pronounce it, doesnt mean it's bad.
Folic acid is a normal part in a dietary system... pregnant women are prescribed extra. Or some folks have to take it in tandem with other medications. Riboflavin _another one of those necessary nutrients.
Those are not actually vitamins, though. They aren’t bioavailable, and they are all synthetics that cause toxicity.
@@RestingBitchface7 Really? Heard of anemia? 😵
The UK is more colorful, because there's MORE CHEESE on the American one, and that covers up the red of the sauce.
In the US, food labels are REQUIRED to list EVERYTHING. I do like Domino's, but there's not one near me. I usually do Casey's (convenience store chain) pizza, or Pizza Hut.
He was talking about the browning of the cheese. But that varies from shop to shop, not country.
Casey's has some pretty good pizza compared to dominoes imo
Those things that you said should be in a lab are simply vitamins that are added to the flour. That’s what makes it enriched.
7:00 we have to list everything that makes up a product. Hence the list of vitamins & minerals in the dough and so on.
My family's go to is Papa Murphy's, which is a take & bake... unless I makes it from scratch.
Also, Ranch dressing for dipping is the bomb!!!
Domino's Chocolate Lava Crunch Cake is awesome!!!😋
Agreed 100% w all your comment. We usually make homemade pizza. Although I have had so much pizza in my life I don’t care if I ever have it again.
While Domino's is popular here just because they have so many locations they are not our go to pizza. In many cities and counties they have their own local pizza places which tend to be more authentic and better just in case you're wondering this is someone from the United States😊
Why did you ask if there's Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the US? It was invented by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield in 1978 in Burlington, Vermont. They had been friends since childhood in Merrick, New York.
This guy seems to not understand that many of those chain restaurants are American companies. I don’t get why he’s always surprised that we have more items on our menus. Of course there are ingredients that aren’t allowed in the UK but there still will just be more options were it was created. It would be the same here if it was a British based company. They would have items there that we wouldn’t get in America. Dominoes is an American company does he not understand that?! He does that with McDonalds and KfC. Lol
@@Kim-427there is an old video where two British guys say Kellogg's cereals are from the UK.
Any pizza is a personal pizza if you try hard enough and believe in yourself
😂😂😂
Literally made me laugh out loud! 😂😂
A lot of those ingredients in the pizza crust at least the beginning are actually vitamins. Like niacin is an added vitamin/mineral. In America the ingredients have to include the vitamins/mineral as well, I'm not saying that some of those ingredients are not stabilizers and preservatives . Just keep in mind when you see ingredients from the US they have to include added vitamins and minerals
To be fair, other chains (like Pizza Hut) have what they call 'personal' pizzas which are pretty much the same as 'individual' in the UK. Also, larger thin-crust pizzas (commonly referred to as 'New York Style') are customarily folded in half radially so you can carry it around and nosh without anything dripping/falling off.
FYI ~ Thiamin (B1), Niacin (B3), Riboflavin (B2), and Folic Acid (B9) are B-complex vitamins which are essential nutrients. Prior to WWII, there were massive outbreaks of diseases like Pellagra because limited diets (particularly among poorer populations) lacked sufficient B-complex vitamins. In response, after decades of research by pioneers like Joseph Goldberger, the USDA mandated the inclusion of these vitamins in all basic foodstuffs like wheat flour and corn meal. Calcium Sulfate and Calcium Phosphate are naturally-occurring salts which provide (obviously) calcium in a form more readily absorbed than from milk, with the added bonus of not containing lactose. The main difference between the UK and US dough is that the latter adds trace amounts of salt and natural sugars for a more appealing flavor.
Banana peppers are mild, semi-sweet, and tangy - named for their long cylindrical shape and yellow coloring.
FYI #2 ~ The chocolate lava cakes are the best! Crispy outside like a cookie, chewy inside like a brownie, with a melted dark-chocolate center!
I’m from Pennsylvania and to be honest our Mom and Pop pizza shops have some of the best pizza. Dominos has gone downhill. When they first opened they were great and the same for Pizza Hut.
Pizza hut was the best in the 90s. The only thing I can think of is they started using cheaper ingredients and the quality went downhill.
@@m2hmghb Both the ones here closed a few years ago due to no one going because they were absolutely filthy and stunk. Elsewhere, they're combining them in those 2 in 1 drive thru with another joint.
I use to be a manager at Domino's. I would eat this every day. Crazy thing was that I never got tired of it. The UK pizza looks like it doesn't have garlic butter on its crust. That's why the American one looks greasier, but it is so good. People would always ask me to put that garlic butter all over the pizza. I think overkill, but hey we had no problem hooking them up.
I know people in the Uk love dominoes and tbf people in the us do too but dominoes is generally regarded as pretty bad pizza. Its only popular due to how cheap it is comparatively to local pizzerias
I personally believe all chains of pizza joints have started going down hill same with pizza hut and godfathers
Pizza is like sex. Even when it's bad it's still pretty good.
@@slabriprock5329 I go by leftover quality. Frozen pizzas are horrible leftover. Then comes Dominos, after that comes the cheap options like Ceasars, then Pizza Hut (surprised they used decent cheese for the price), then small chain pizzarias like Mellow Mushroom in the south, then the quality one time restaurants like a few chicago and new york joints.
@@slabriprock5329agreed 😊
Homemade costs pennies and you can put whatever you want on them. They're also hot when they get onto the table and not stranger has licked them.
OMGSHHHH! When I went to the UK and ordered a pizza, it came with sweet corn on it and I cried like a fool because I hate sweet corn! ( Y’all also made Nachos completely different) Don’t get me started on asking for salad dressing 😂

@@bradparnell614 … Mannnn the pubs weren’t so bad, but the chain restaurants Lawddddd .. Don’t do it 😂
Dominos is far down the list for us. Local non chain pizza is much better. We used to eat Dominos about 15 years ago until they started bombing it with garlic. That's all you could taste. Haven't been back since.
bro even the Chinese takeout (takeaway) was lacking compared to the ones up North in america
In 2010 Dominoes changed it's pizza recipes from the crust up . . . Everything got updated/upgraded . . .
They taste a lot better than they did before. 😋 😊
Lewis’s reaction to the prices between the US and UK Dominos had me laughing.

@@L3WGReacts I’m not surprised it’s costing you guys more there in Great Britain than here in the States.

Once upon a time (1980s), if you read a certain number of books in school, you could get a free "Personal Pan Pizza" from Pizza Hut (I know this is Dominos). That first pizza was almost exactly what it looked like, and it was SUCH a treat! It'd burn the roof of your mouth, but darn it if I didn't read hundreds of books in elementary school (age 6-12). My guess the size difference is in metric. It's X number of centimeters instead of inches, so comes out to half an inch smaller.
My kids did that! Ah, the memories! My 12 year old read Eye of the World series and shocked the twenty year old bookseller.
I remember I used to be able to take my report card to my local video store and get a free movie/game rental for every grade above a 90. I would be set for the summer.

We are required to list the chemical compounds of ingredients.
What is this common ingredient? calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, and vitamins B6, B12, A, and folic acid, riboflavin and thiamine.
Those are the chemical compounds of an egg. So yes, it sounds like we have tons of chemicals but we’re not allowed to just say “eggs” on a nutrition label.
We actually have a family owned pizzeria for our go to. They make their own pizza shells from homemade dough and sauce, but will buy and use toppings from other places.
My preferred pizza is my homemade pizza, . . . from scratch.
But my go to takeout pizza is from my local Pizzeria.
Honestly, I haven't eaten Dominoes since the 1970's. That is when it opened the first take-out Pizza shop in the area.
Then the local Italian restaurants put in a "take-out" counter.
Domino's is to pizza, what McDonald's is to burgers. The food isn't good, but you know what to expect.
Banana peppers are sweet peppers.
The Domino's Philly Cheesesteak pizza is pretty good. At least if you get it at a decent Domino's
They're Not sweet peppers, they're yellow small peppers with a spicy vinagry taste
In the US, I can honestly say most people prefer pizza from small mom and pop places. I know I do. BUT, the prices you pay for Domino's is basically what we pay in small shops, so I go to Domino's or Papa John's based on specials. I also pickup so I don't have to pay extra for delivery.
Right now, Domino's has a pickup deal for any size 1-topping pizza for $7.99. That's what I do, and my husband eats the leftover for breakfast.
Mom and pop pizza restaurants make the best pizza in the US. Not the chains like dominos. Check out the menu for La Novas in Buffalo NY.
We have a local pizza called JV Pizza that has the large 16" pepperoni pizza at $7. It's across from one of the high schools and does killer business. Pan Pizza is $1.50 more. (pan pizza is a thicker crust that is painted with butter before putting it in the oven.)
For a pizza chain, our go to is Marco's or for cheaper pizza Little Caesars. I sometimes make homemade, which is even cheaper.
For a non chain, we like a local place called Frankie's. It's a wonderful Italian restaurant that also does carryout. But if we go there, we eat there.
We definitely have pizza that small in America 😂 it’s called a personal pan pizza but it’s a Pizza Hut thing and yes we have Ben and Jerry’s (it’s American) just not at dominos 😂 big chains like dominos and Pizza Hut are rarely the best pizza places in America.
There were two Pizza Huts in our entire county and both went out of business for being sooo filthy and stinky.
@@bettyir4302 I believe it.
Most the stuff you can't read is vitamins Folick acid fireman that's what the enriched flower is it's enriched with vitamins, added and minerals. Dextrin is a sugar dextrose is a sugar, so no is just instead of rise, which would be canola over here. Absorb acid is vitamin C, calcium, sulfate, calcium, a lot of the items are like different sugars and salts. They're the types of sugar and the type of salt and then tons of vitamins enzymes helps break down things.
Banana peppers are a sweet, pickled pepper that is shaped like a banana and is yellow the really good and I hate peppers and pickles but I like banana peppers
It's not sauce he said grated Parmesan. It's like a little Parm shaker. We also have the packets for free but you can get a little shaker.
I think it’s important to note, when you think of how good the food is in the US, you need to set that aside once you enter the realm of the big chains lol. I would expect anywhere else to have better ingredients and better quality once you get into this territory. The US systematically punishes the poor by offering abysmal options on the cheaper end.
Meh, your body doesn't know the difference. 2000 calories is 2000 calories. If you consume 4000 calories a day, that's too much, even if it's 4000 calories of home cooked, organic food fresh from the farm. 🙂
I don't get pizza from pizza chains like Dominos. I go to a locally owned, family run pizza restaurant. WAY better than any chain brand.. freshly made dough, homemade sauce and lots of mozzarella. Then there are the toppings.. lots to choose from: Meats like pepperoni, Italian sausage, sometimes other ethnic sausages, beef, ham or bacon. There are different cheeses besides mozzarella, like Parmesan or goat cheese. There's a variety of veggies like onions, peppers (sweet and hot), and mushrooms. There's also different sauces, the traditional red tomato sauce and a white sauce, like an Alfredo sauce, for a "white" pizza . And that's not the complete list. Besides pizza there are daily dinner specials like lasagna, manicotti, stuffed shells and spaghetti and meatballs. This restaurant is quite small, 90% take out ( or take away), with just a few tables for eating in. Most US cities have pizza restaurants like this. Going to Dominos or Pizza Hut is a last resort.
I don't like any of the pizza chains. That first UK pizza is the size of a pizza you'd find in a 7-11 or gas station. LOL In the US Costco has an 18 inch deluxe pizza for $9.95 - you can also get a hotdog and a refillable fountain drink for a $1.50 there.
7:05 Those are vitamins. (enriched flour)
Banana peppers are like pepperoncini.
A totino's party pizza lol
Eh…you also pay like $120 a year for a Costco membership, don’t just make blanket statements without the full facts. I actually prefer my local big y pizza to Costco.

Out of the main chains we have here, I'm personally a papa john fan, with pizza hut following a close second. Dominos has burned me too many times with poor service and bad pizza (The locations around me just suck). Outside of main pizza chains we have a regional one called mellow mushroom with has really fresh toppings which I love.
You must live in the South lol, me too. Mellow is the best chain out there to me
@epicsquid145 lol yep. FL here. Love mellow. Some our local pizza places are pretty good but mellow is best chain.
Our Domino's here in the U.S. usually is too salty for the oven-baked sandwiches and the desserts are absolutely dry. They NEED the cream cheese frosting! I recently discovered that we can customize to get square cut pizzas (not just for rectangular pizzas, but the circle ones as well). I LOVE their bread bowls for the pasta! Oh and last thing: If we're not in a rush for pizza, it is so cheap getting the 16" at Aldi's 🤤
Mine has desert pizzas; choc w marshmallow oe butter w cinn. sugar. Since they have Hawiian pizza, I add pineapple to the Cinn. one.
The US also has regional/state exclusives. Apparently only, or primarily in Indiana you can get cheese sauce (specifically for the breadsticks/garlic knots), which blew my mind when I learned this. It’s exceptionally difficult to find cheese sauce outside of the state. Also most people’s go to pizza is a smaller local place.
Where I live, Dominos is like the "well, I got 10 bucks, and it's 1a.m., I'll just get a pizza." But we're nicknamed Little Italy, so we have a lot of ma & pa restaurants the make real pizzas haha.
I prefer Pizza Hut over Domino's. But generally, the best place for pizza is usually going to be a local pizza joint. We have a great one not too far from us that serves New York-style pizza, and it's amazing! When you come to the U.S., definitely give a local pizza place a try.
Okay here's the thing, don't pay attention to the diameters in the 1 to 1 size comparisons.
They take a standardized clump of dough and manually stretch it. It's very possible that whoever stretched the dough simply stretched on the smaller side.
There's a LOT of subjectivity to dominos pizzas when it comes to making them. It's not uncommon to force drivers to help make pizzas when they're slammed and need more hands. And drivers tend to hate making pizzas and don't care if they sucked at it to prevent being asked to help.
At my store they had a period of time where they put too much cheese and we were 55 POUNDS of cheese over after a week and the owner had to buy scales to cut back on the line workers putting too much ingredients.
So it's entirely possible that while the American pizzas were half an inch smaller they were also slightly thicker.
Something else interesting is at many stores you can't get larger than large. The reason is they tried extra large and had trouble getting the centers cooked fully. However, I suspect what the store in the video did was use a large dough and stretch is further so its a lot thinner. This is what we did for Brooklyn style pizzas which were much thinner, we stretch a medium dough to large size. The fact that the extra large had only 6 slices makes me believe that the extra large is basically an extra large Brooklyn. The reason it's only 6 slices is so you can roll it sorta like a taco when you eat it and it isn't floppy and be thin enough that it cooks fully.
Dominos is the taco bell of our pizzas. You get it because its cheap and open late. The good pizza is from all the local family owned shops usually. Also if you order online there a deals always available to get a Large 2 topping pizza for $7.99
This is why Americans feel like a sponge, when you hug them, and Brit’s still feel like human beings.

Former Pizza Hut & Domino's driver in California here. In the 1990's, the large was 16 inches across and the Medium was 12 inches. In the 2000's, they made the pizzas smaller.
most people i know, when ordering out for pizza. will generally order from a place that isn't a chain restaurant, rather a family owned place that usually make pizza's that are wayyyyyyy better than domino's or pizza hut. the small city i live in has less than 30 thousand people in it.and we have at least 10 to 15 family owned places to choose from the only chain that makes really good pizza's here are OIP,
I live in Boston, so there's a lot of options for food, other than chains. I have a choice between Italian and Greek style crust and a lot of places do their own special menu items. There are enough options that it really just becomes a matter of preference. I still haven't tried all the pizza places in the area I live in.
Domino's pizza is drunk food only in my part of the US. I live in the "pizza belt" which runs from Northern New Jersey through New Haven Connecticut. World class pizza here. Look into specifically New Haven Pizza and specifically Pepe's Pizza or Sally's Pizza in New Haven. Anyway, banana peppers are a mild pickled pepper, common in the US, slightly milder than a pickled jalapeno.
I have never eaten a Domino's Pizza, Whenever I go to get a pizza I go to an authentic Italian pizza shop, Which they make their pizzas fresh out of all natural foods and they don't use all the chemicals that Domino's uses in their pizzas. And they make it right in front of you and they use real cheeses and they use their own family recipe for the pizza sauce which makes their Pizza taste a hundred times better than Domino's. 🤗
Domino Farms in Ann Arbor, Michigan was the headquarters for the company. Tom Monyhan the founder, was an orphan brought up by Catholic nuns and served as a US Marine. I live about 30 minutes away from the farm.
As an american I'd like to say:
Earlier in this vid I was thinking, "its domino's one of the only pizza places in the UK?" Because if it is, then their prices r higher because they have a semi-monopoly on pizza there. In the US, u'll find a pizza places around every corner in cities n even some in towns. They have a billion competitors all over the US so they have to have more reasonable prices for customers to come to them instead of turning to the cheaper local pizza places. We also have major pizza competaors throughout the US. Dominos against Papa John's against Pizza Hut, etc. The big name franchises put up a fight so they have to battle for their place at the top. My assumption is that it isn't like that in the UK. That dominos doesn't have to fight many local or franchised pizza parlors so they can freely decide on higher prices since who else r u gonna go to? My family prefers a local place. Not cuz the pizza's better necessarily (nothing beats dominos crusts) but because their prices r more managable for my family. In comparison to proportion. To feed my family, we have to get a party sized pizza with a small cheese pizza on the side (the small cheese is a coupon thing that lasts eternally). The cost of them totals to under 40$. When we get dominos, we put 40$ as our spending limit n end up getting 4 medium boxes of different types. Sometimes we chuck in a desert (those brownies r heavenly) or an additional pizza or 2. But we treat dominos as the more expensive option since we r getting probably half of what we get from the other place. Even tho we get 4 boxes from 1 n 2 from the other, one of the 2 boxes is so big it's an adult's wingspan. From 1 end to the other reaches ur finger tips. N it's so big that it's all cut into squares so if someone doesn't want the crust, they don't have to have any. It's financially better to get that pizza but dominos tastes better (all that seasoning 👌)
No-one with an ounce of taste and/or knowledge would even have a Dominoes in their home. You would have to tie me down and force feed me! I get mine from a local family owned restaurant that makes its own dough, sauce and cheese and uses fresh toppings. This is only for nights when I don't have time to make my own! Everything here is not better if you haven't noticed. Respect from the US!
The extra large is cut New York Style ( Supposedly ) its $ 11.99 for a Extra Large with just cheese , each additional topping is around $ 2.00. EVERY pizza place sells Hoagies ( Sandwiches ) in the U.S
We actually at Domino's for 699. You get a 12 inch medium pizza, cheesy bread either or the chicken. You know everything that you see there. They have a special for 699 a pie for each pizza. And that's 22 toppings, so you can get jalapeno and cheese bacon. You can get pepperoni and bacon and blue obviously, cheese doesn't count as an item.
I wouldn't say Domino's is the go to for pizza here, for sure.. lol. It's usually local family owned or local chains. There's different styles of pizza based on region in the US, etc. That might actually be something cool for you to check out in another video, actually. Deep-dish ("chicago style"), new-york style, etc etc. Pizza chains for times when you just need something quick/cheaper or bulk for events and things. We have Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Papa Murphy's, Little Caesar's I think as most of the national chains.
We have SO many pizza places to choose from that I'm not sure there is a main "go-to" where I live. Dominoes is fairly popular because it's really cheap. My family aren't big fans of Dominoes. We really like a chain called Round Table that exists only in the western U.S. It's more expensive, but a lot higher quality in my opinion.
I have lived in 10 or so college towns; Domino's are usually near the dorms. This model goes back to the 1970s when students rarely had cars, plus they were the early pioneers in (40 min or less) deliveries. When they started, they were actually a sandwich shop.
I just want to add that most pizza places in the US have salad bars. Salads are very much a thing at pizza restaurants
Locally, we have 10 different pizza places: (listed in my preference to eat, opinions will vary)
1) Marco's
2) Rotolo's
3) Napoletana's
4) Hunt Brothers
5) Smitty's
6) Pizza Hut
7) Johnny's
8) Papa John's
9) Little Ceasar's
10) Domino's
The cellulose is pizza cheese at US chains is essentially saw dust. Many chains did this starting in the mid 90s to cut cheese costs. I don't eat at chains when there are tons of mom & pop pizza places to choose from and they use actual food as ingredients rather than fillers to cut costs.
As a US Citizen I've Never actually had Domino's. We always order from local owned Italian restaurants. Vincenzo's Pizzaria, Arcaro's Pizzaria, Roberto's Pizzaria, Brownies Pizzaria, Roseanna's Hoagies. These are authentic restaurants that use high quality ingredients. And average large pizzas with extra cheese costs about $18.
We have Ben & Jerry's in the US everywhere. But in terms of ordering it with your pizza, other chains made deals with Ben & Jerry's to exclusively offer it in their restaurants in their markets. So, Dominos itself does not carry it right now but you can order it from Papa Ginos and other restaurants in different regions. I miss the 90's for Dominos, they had the Dominator pizza which measured 10"x30". They also had a promotion of getting to your door within 30 minutes or it was free and on big game nights everyone would order and hope their house was one of the last ones to get served.
I live in Texas and my go to pizza place is a family owned pizzeria, but if I do order from a chain, it’s Pizza Hut. The only time I have Domino’s is if someone else has ordered pizza.
Here in southern Louisiana, if you're willing to pick up your pizza from Domino's, they have a $7.99 (€6.32) large pizza with any three toppings.
We have Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Little Caesar's, Marco's Pizza, Sbarro, and so much more. Best pizza is from a family owned restaurants.
7:58 we have to label EVERYTHING that goes into our food. Every ingredient's ingredients have to be listed.
Here in America it is called a "personal pan pizza thats for one person" but thats Pizza Hut. Dominoes does not have the personal size.
I don't eat pizza very often, but if I were to order a pizza today, Domino's would not be my first choice. I used to get a fair amount of Domino's in college and it wasn't great. Apparently they have since updated the recipe to make it better, but if not ordering from a local place, my first choice of a chain restaurant would probably be Mark's. I don't know how widespread they are.
That white thing is just sugar glaze... I believe it was a leftovers dipping from when Domino's used to offer cinnamon sugar bread sticks as one of the dessert/side options... I dunno when it's off the menu but that sugar glaze stuck around...
Edit: Just checked... it's back, but with a gimmicky "spin" on it... it is now called cinnamon bread twist (bread twist has 2 other savory options of garlic bread twist and parmesan bread twist).
Most of those crust ingredients are the chemical names of vitamins and minerals. Lots of our foods are fortified with vitamins.
The six-slices extra large was probably ordered
"Brooklyn style"
They offer it as an option, and I THINK the only difference is larger slices.
Here in the US they have a "2 or more Menu Options (Medium for pizzas with 2 toppings) for $6.99 each. So, you could get three 2 topping Medium Pizzas for $21 ... Which would be around $25 delivered. $30 if you you leave a Fat Tip too.
We have Ben & Jerry's, it's an American company based out of Vermont. We just don't have it at our Domino's.
I live in the US near Chicago and I prefer to buy my pizza from mom and pop, locally owned restaurants. If I decide to order from a chain, it's usually a Chicago style place like Giordano's.
No, that is not cream. It's icing made from confectioner's sugar, sometimes alittle cream (but I don't think theirs has much if any) water and vanilla. We have the same icing on cinnamon rolls.
You can get banana peppers at Subway too. It's a mildly sweet snd mildly spicy pepper.
A lot of people prefer Pizza Hut if there isn't a locally owned place. Pizza but has a personal pan pizza that is smaller. A place called Little Cesar's Pizza has something similar.
Our ingrediants lists break down ingrediants into their chemical components. I once saw something that listed 'hydroxide' intead of 'water'
Ben and Jerry's is an American company. So you can get it in a lot of places but not in association with other companys ususlly.
We get bread sticks covered in cinnamon sugar from dominoes. The chees bread comes in 3 different choices. We have a jalepeno and cheddar one even.
Those are vitamins and minerals: Iron, thiamine mononitrate, niacin, riboflavin, folic acid, ascorbic acid, calcium sulfate, and calcium phosphate. L-cystine is an amino acid. Most of us could do with more of those.
The US one has garlic and butter sauce on the crust. Thats the difference we are seeing here
Most of those things that sound scary are just the chemical names of various vitamins that you've probably already heard of (Primarily variants of vitamin B and vitamin C).
The best pizza in any town is the local joint. Domino's is open real late though, so it's a substitute when you're drunk or about to be. But, your video inspired me to write an e-mail complimenting my local staff. They're world class, seriously.
Lew's mind would be blown if he could see the $6.99 mix and match deals we get in the U.S. at Domino's. He'd REALLY be pi$$ed about the prices we get over here then.
Most of the folks I know only choose dominoes for late night delivery when other stores aren't open. However, when I was a teenager dominoes had a deal with our school district and supplied pizza for lunches every day. I literally ate dominoes pizza and french fries for school lunch for an e tire year lol.
But tbh none of the big pizza chains really excite me. Pizza Hut now and then comes out with these mammoth family deals where you get like 2 feet of pizza, wings, bread sticks, coca cola etc for like 30$. Little Caesars is kinda plain tasting but is.the quickest and cheapest. Godfather's pizza probably is the most generous with it's toppings.
Yet one pizza place may excite you more than others and it's called Cicis Pizza. They make the most outlandish pizzas like Mac and cheese pizza, sweet chipotle, and so many others I can't name...plus you can custom make anything. Large touchscreens help you navigate the choices and build the pizza perfect for you, and in 10 minutes or less it's ready, hot and fresh.
Finally..THE BEST pizza in America will not be found at these major businesses. Quite often a corner shop in Queens....or a bar in an Iowa town of 170 people....or a random dive in the middle of nowhere...it's these "mom and pop" owned places that you find the real treasures. Pizza and otherwise
Domino's is the standard by which American pizza is judged. That doesn't mean it's the best or most peoples' favorite, rather that it's the common reference point -- everyone's had a Domino's pepperoni. They're fine; "grand" as the Irish would say, not the best by any means but cheap and ubiquitous and it'll be at your door in under 30 min. (I used to live a block away... 10 min and the temperature of lava) It's a moving day tradition among young adults; get a few friends to help you move your stuff because you can't afford to hire movers, in return for pizza and beer when the job's done. Since you don't know the neighborhood places yet, Domino's gets the call.
Domino’s, Pizza Hut, and Papa John’s are all over the US, some of the big chains. But my fav are always local pizza places. If i order in though, it’s Dominos. I like New York style pizza best. Thin but foldable slices with crisp and chewy crust 🙌🙌🙌
You should see the size of slices of pizza in NYC and it is way better than Domino’s! If you ever get to NYC or Chicago, you have to get pizza! Chicago has deep dish pizza! These styles are the best in the US!
Depending on where in America you live, your alternatives could be way better. I live in New Jersey which is New York Pizza territory. We have so many great pizza places, I only eat dominoes if I'm craving pizza after midnight since they're the only ones open. But i do prefer them over the other fast food pizzas like Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, etc.
Go to pizza is from a great Italian restaurant, to pick up, delivery or eat in.
Things like thiamine and riboflavin are B vitamins. They're put into a lot of foods to enrich them- that is, to make sure you don't have nutritional deficiencies when you eat them. Thiamine is vitamin B1, riboflavin is B2, niacin is B3, folic acid is vitamin B9.
most of the chemicals listed are the chemicals names for vitamins, and america requires all foods to be listed for allergy reasons, europe mostly uses the same things we do but are not required by law to break down every ingredient down to its individual compounds
Dude, you can get just a plain old cheese Brooklyn Style X-Large for $11.99! You can get a small for just $5.99. The medium is $7.99 and the large is $9.99. The highest price pizza they offer is if you get a specialty X-Large which is $17.99 Those are every day prices but they frequently offer deals online where you can get add ons like drinks and sides and still get it for less than $20. Not only that but the more you order, the more points you build up and you can get discounted prices up to totally free pizzas. The sandwiches from Domino's are pretty good. Their garlic knots are the bomb! I have no idea what my go-to is. I have a Pizza Hut and a Domino's each just 2 minutes away from me. I have a Little Caesar's just across the street. I also have a couple of Papa John's that are close by. There are also some regional and local chains so I have at least 7 pizza places that are less than a 10 minute drive away. It really just depends on my mood. I live in the suburbs and I've been in different cities and suburbs and like mine, they are filled with national, local, and regional pizza chains. There's a massive amount of variety from which to choose. Americans loooooove pizza.
I can get anywhere from a $6 large pepperoni at 7-11 to a $50 prosciutto and pear from the cool Italian place downtown. When you come to the US, definitely avoid Dominos in favor of more local places when you can
The icing is for the cinnamon bread sticks which they didn’t show…that does NOT come with the lava crunch cakes or the blondie brownie.
Banana peppers are delicious and the least spicy pepper other than the bell . Delicious .
Peperocini are similar like in Italian beef . Mmmmmmmm
The reason yours looks so much saucier is because we add a shit ton of cheese to our pizzas in America. Slices are thicker or bigger because they are heavy. You can fold ours in half which is how many eat it. We have numerous deserts here as well that weren't mentioned. The prices are low because we have at least three other competitors and they fight for orders. Papa johns Caesars are two that are strong competition. In many pizza places there are pasta sandwich soup a salad bar and at some an ice cream bar. It's pretty elaborate. I prefer Papa johns it just has a fresher taste with some ingredients dominos doesn't have.
some of those weird chemicals in the US pizza are actual vitamins (therefore "enriched"). for example, niacin is vitamin B3, which is one of the essential B vitamins. btw, this comparison is making me want to save some money by ordering a pizza :D ; no idea ours were so much cheaper than yours...
Those weird words at the top are B vitamins. I just looked online for pizza delivery and I have 12 options but my favorite is my homemade one. Banana peppers are just long green peppers that are pickled and medium spicey. The price difference is probably because it's a franchise and the owner can, to a certain extent, charge what they want.
To be fair folic acid is found in vitamins and fortified foods. It actually helps the body make healthy new blood cells and that helps protect the body from becoming anemic. Banana peppers is a medium sized chili pepper that has a mild taste. I'm not a fan of them but the juice has a vinegar taste and I use it for our leafy green vegetables.
Pro tip from a former US Dominos employee... get the mango habenaro and ranch dips for your pizza. Eat them together, its delicious!
As another poster mentioned, in the US EVERY ingredient has to be listed in mostly scientific terms. Ascorbic acid for instance is just Vitamin C, Calcium Sulfate is a naturally occurring calcium salt. If you look back in history on breads in the Victorian era the posher whiter breads had alum, chalk, sawdust etc in their recipes to make them cheaper, whiter and heavier (YUMMY!)
WE have an independent Pizzaria in our town. It beats the hell out of Dominoes!
