That's like Subway trying to sell spongy club sandwiches in Belgium. They had to close most of their places haha. I love it when local food culture wins from American import 🎉
Well, they still do here in Austria just to the north of italy, but everyone knows that its "american" pizza, and so we know what to expect. Its just something completely different. Like the turkish one (Lahmacun) they also call pizza sometimes, but most people know that its a "kind of" pizza, but actually something different.
I hate to say it, but the cheapest supermarket own-brand frozen pizzas here in Europe look more appetising than that Domino’s pizza, and as for the pasta and whatever those dough balls were meant to be, they look disgusting
The pasta looked like my spaghetti with ketchup ,after a school + 8h shift in the store , that I made at 11pm before bed when I skipped the lunch. And I think, it looked a bit better tbh (added a bit of water, using ketchup as a tomato paste to create a "sauce", spaghetti al dente dropped in and tossed for a minute or two to cover the pasta).
We had a Dominos for a VERY short time (before it went bankrupt) here in Denmark. It tasted literally, worse than the cheapest of the cheap cardboard pizzas you get from supermarkets. It also had the exact same bottom. That VERY thin, and VERY (COMPLETELY) crisp bottom with tiny holes all over it from that roller thingy. NO soft delicious bread areas... Like swedish knackbrot. And then the topping was also grossly chemical tasting. I could live with a completely crisped bottom, if the taste had been nice. But it was just completely bland "tomato", slight/weird chemical taste, and cant taste teh cheese either on it. its like all of it was made from cardboard and food colouring. I was so excited my first time. Gonna try that Domino we had seen for ages in american movies. And then this absolute dog shit gets served us. Wouldnt even feed any animals with it. Wouldnt even feed it to a prisoner I am in the process of torturing/interrogating... Its just a job... Im not evil...
Honestly if there is good pizza in the USA, it's hiding. I live in the USA and have for more than a decade, and in the area I live in there is nothing even vaguely resembling Italian food, although lots of restaurants claim to be authentic Italian food. I have been to more than 20 states and have not had anything even remotely Italian.
the ingredient quality just isnt there at a low enough price for places to utilize fresh ingridients for traditional recipies, much easier to add spices and sauces and salt and sugar etc. You will find good places all over the usa but theyll be at premium prices if youre looking european italian style. I also dont think people realise how good the pizzas at even random local places can be in the uk, probably because theres real italian immigrants from italy lol.
Last year I was in Palm Springs and the hotel owner said I must try a new restaurant with the very best italian food he'd ever had because the owners were from Italy (?). It was good, but no better (and probably not as good) than any of 4 restaurants within a 10 minute walk of where I live in London, and twice as expensive.
@@madmark1957 there is plenty of great pizza here, gotta hard disagree there. But to say it’s not authentic Italian should be obvious. I said there was much better pizza here than dominos, not authentic straight from Naples pizza. Chicago pizza for example is its own thing.. it’s not trying to be authentic small town Italy
@@thomashovgaard3134 I seriously doubt that. Why? Well leaving aside the quality etc., how would people around the world know of a pizza place in a different country from the one they live in. Contrary to popular opinion in the USA, the rest of the world, for the most part, spends zero minutes per day thinking about the USA. Personally prior to living in the USA I could name a couple of the US pizza chains but that's it.
We hear just by the noise when he bites the pizza it's totally different for dominos pizza. And yes a good traditional napolitan pizza is not really unhealthy. It's just flour, water, salt, a bit of olive oil, tomatoes, basel and cheese. That's it ! We can't call that unhealthy unless you eat a lot of them and consume 3 times your daily calories
I live in the UK. I lived with a couple of Italians for a while and I know how touchy they get over their food. When I made spaghetti bolognese they said 'don't you dare to call it that'. For reference a lot of my friends who got to try it say my bolognese is better than what they get served in most Italian restaurants. When it comes to pizza I know how sensitive they are about it as well and although I do agree that no one should say things like 'original italian pizza' or even 'italian' but overall Pizza is not something I eat all the time and it's a treat for me so I do like it with a whole load of cheese. I travelled Europe and tried various pizzas and basically people just put on it whatever they like. It's like when I first came to live in the UK 20 years ago I saw a lady eating a sandwich with crisps (chips in US) when I talked to her about it she gave me the spot on answer - 'If something taste good and you like it then it makes sense'. This simple philosophy actually appealed to me and shaped my idea of cooking, I barely ever follow strictly the recipes, usually only when I cook something for the first time and then judge what I think could improve it. When it comes to pizza most of the time I make simple standard dough but sometimes I like to have fin with it and I made dough with herbs, garlic and so on but an absolute jackpot was the tomato and herbs dough, this was like the pizza experience times 10, even the smell knocks you off your feet. Point is, if you cook yourself you are the king of your food and you decide what is good.
I've been to Italy on vacation quite a few times and the original Italian food is just spectacular, you just can't get it in any other country, period.
you can get excellent italian dishes almost everywhere in Europe. Its just the US who globally has very low quality ingredients and usually focus on profit rather than just making good food.
In Glasgow there are many Italians and many authentic restaurants. Thank goodness. Italians might not have "garlic bread" but they do have bruchetta, with oil and garlic.
@@101steel4 Una fetta di vero pane, leggermente abbrustolita alla fiamma di un caminetto, strofinata con un uno spicchio d'aglio e l'aggiunta di un filo d'olio d'oliva, oppure con sopra una fettina sottilissima di lardo... è passato che ha ancora futuro!
In America even in an Italian restaurants you'll probably never find real Pasta Carbonara because it has raw egg yolk in it and I know Americans don't do raw egg, they are kinda weird about it but that is because the food industry is iffy. Here in Belgium in an Italian restaurant you'll get a real Carbonara with raw egg yolk and NO CREAM (there is no cream in a real Carbonara!) but when you buy it ready made sadly they can't use raw egg yolk because it goes bad too fast so it is with cream and it's disgusting. But it is super easy and quick to make yourself.
I'm European, but not Italian level snobby about pizza or pasta. So, when I visited NYC the first time, I had to visit little Italy, because it had a good reputation both online and in TV series. 4 out of 5 places were making Margueritas, meant to be re-heated with the optional toppings... Dear 'mericans.. even the cheapest Turkish run pizzerias here bake the whole pizza with toppings on demand within 10 mins. And if you ask for garlic bread you get a calzone w/o ham + garlic oil. That said, if you go to an actual Italian owned pizzeria, you get some amazing pizzas, but less choice what to put on your pie. In conclusion... NYC pizza was a dud, compared to what's available in Denmark.
If you have a can of chopped tomatoes, some fresh basil and a ball of mozzarella, you can make the topping. If you have flour, yeast, water and olive oil, you can make the dough... the actual difficult part is having an oven and stone that makes it crispy. Italian cooking isn't about having a lot of herbs, the philosophy is a few good quality ingredients.. simplicity. I'd add parma ham or some other meats to increase the protein level, but it's not really necessary.
hahaha, you discovered the best food channel on the web that I've been subscribed to for 2 years. Eva is a great cook and Harper is a professional filmmaker. 😊
I was in Italy last week. It was very good, even the supermarket makes the best fresh ones there. Domino doesn't make real pizza, but it's not bad (certainly in terms of health), but you shouldn't see it as pizza.
Hi, Poland here. I have watched someone else reaction to this video and this is how I was introduced to the channel: Pasta Grammar. Since then Eva is my Italian guru. I made a lot of food from they recepies. Love them all. It's not hard to order original IT stuff here to Poland and can 100 % recomend Eva's and Harper's work. Love them and hope to see you react to Domino's Pizza in IT - how Eva order Pizza from the Dominos but in Italy. I have one simple rule when it comes to the food: 'If I didn't made it I want eat it.' I bake my own bread etc. Pasta Grammar is very educational also about history of IT food. Highly recomend it!
Home made pizza is extremely healthy- bread (minus all the salt and sugar), tomatoes, quality (buffalo) mozzarella, and maybe olives, and some other toppings. Why do people not all do this? It is really easy and extremely cheap, and I'm not even a good cook (I can feed 4 with only the best ingredients for the cost of a single takeaway pizza).
No me parece tan saludable la Pizza, los platos Italianos como la pasta fresca y la salsa carbonara la hago con nata y queso Español, aunque antes que pizza prefiero tapas.
Technically pizza is made with bread dough that has been stretched thin, adding crushed tomatoes, a little bit of oil and fresh mozzarella, so it's basically as healthy as tomato salad with some fresh cheese and bread
Sono stato in Canada e negli USA molti anni fa, credo nel 1993...ho apprezzato la vostra carne, i vostri Fast Food, di più quelli locali e meno quelli delle grandi catene, le vostre colazioni salate e le bibite gassate e succhi...ma ricordo ancora con terrore quando sapendo che eravamo italiani ci cucinavano la pasta con la maionese o il Ketchup, scotta a livello di colla per i manifesti e immangiabile... Pizza Hut era discreta se semplicemente non la consideravo pizza, ma qualcos'altro...in più si notava la mancanza di varietà di verdure, di pesce, di alimenti freschi...ottimi invece i venditori di cibo ambulanti....Il caffè è stato anche un punto doloso....a paragone di un espresso napoletano erano acqua colorata...😅😅😅 I was in Canada and the USA many years ago, I think in 1993... I appreciated your meat, your fast food, more the local ones and less those of the big chains, your savory breakfasts and carbonated drinks and juices. ..but I still remember with terror when knowing that we were Italian they cooked our pasta with mayonnaise or Ketchup, overcooked like poster glue and inedible... Pizza Hut was discreet if I simply didn't consider it pizza, but something other... moreover we noticed the lack of variety of vegetables, fish, fresh foods... however the street food vendors were excellent.... The coffee was also a sore point.... in comparison to a Neapolitan espresso were colored water...😅😅😅
The other part that makes people laugh is Americans seem to eat of of cardboard boxes all the time. Or go out "for a meal" and eat it out of cardboard in their car then drive home. Never get out the fk car.
I think “influencers” eat in their car for obvious reasons. Real Americans and families like mine like to take our time and visit while eating IN the restaurant 🎉
@@IWrocker In Washington DC I stayed at an hotel next to a BurgerKing drive through. Together with a Canadian tourist we played a game, guessing which burger the police car picked up by the jaw opening at first bite. Single, cheese, double...
Garlic bread is a British thing, wild garlic used to be a major weed in wheat fields here, the bulbules (tiny bulbs on the seed head) are the same size as wheat seeds and are very difficult to sort, so when ground, the flour would taste of garlic, and make garlic bread, which was sold cheaper than garlic free bread.
In europe we also get pizza for quick easy food during gathering. But our standard is higher. It doesn't take more time for the pizzaiolo to make a good pizza.
I can not comment on dominos or pizzahut pizzas but the American craze for sugar(thanks to the sugar lobby) is real.Even at a European McDonalds which has a altered menu adapted to European taste the buns for instance are unedibley sweet.😢
Topping a pizza is really easy: less is more! You don't need a ton of ingredients: she made that with cheese, tomato sauce & some vegetable I don't know the English word for. That's it: that was the entire topping. Easy, cheap and tasty!
as with many other places in the world, there's lots of local, often historical, differences even within a single country. like, the generally more 'hearty' and 'rich' food in northern Italy, when you get towards the colder climates of the alps with harsher winters, is quite different to what evolved around the more southern volcanic regions where the tomato found rich soil and quickly became popular hundreds of years ago. head further south towards Sicily and things look and taste quite different yet again. judging US American pizza by comparing it to 'original Italian pizza' (from what region?) is like going to the UK and saying Chicken Tikka Masala ain't Indian food. or Viennese Goulash is but a mild copy of Hungarian Pörkölt, "real" Gulyas is basically a spicy beef and paprika soup. this goes on and on and on :)
Seen this before it's so funny watching her taste that American mess. Edit when they were ordering he asked her if they have pineapple, she said her family would disown her if she did.
i also never understood the connection between garlic and italy in america. When i think of garlicky food, then my mind goes to the east (from the view of an austrian!), like hungary, romania, etc. Garlic + Bread = delicious hungarian langos (also available in austria, especially at christmas markets)
Never yet had a pizza which had a splash of olive oil or fresh herbs on it and always soggy in the middle. The box they come in are more appertizing than the pizza
In Europe (not in Italy, of course) in alot of take away places you can find "pizza" and "American style pizza"... In my opinion Italians like to exaggerate when it comes to their foods... This stuff isn't the real deal, sure... But it's a foreign clone... I like an American style pizza, cheezy crust! Yummy! But i also like a real Italian one... Both good, both very different.
I come from another EU country and have pizza culture here as well , and there a few 'proper' Italian pizzeria's , and I've had decent pizza . But , after I ate pizza in Naples, nothing comes close to it now for me.
I remember visiting a friend in Napoli, Italy. We went for pizza. American tourists were in the restaurant already eating their pizza. They freaking said out loud how they were disappointed that it didn't taste like "real pizza". I said, "Man, you do realise you're in Napoli, right?" Unbelievable.
A good pizza doesn’t have to be expensive. There is no such thing as “european” pizza. Pizza is from Naples. You can have an amazing pizza in Naples or an ok pizza in most places around Italy. That’s it.
Ciao Ian, in Italia si usa poco aglio : è presente in molte ricette, ma ne usiamo poco, non è l'ingrediente principale. Importante : NON c'è aglio nella pasta Carbonara
I am Italian and I've been to NYC and W.D.C. in mid September for the first time and the pizza wasn't bad (one place was good) but it wasn't from Dominos. One thing is that it wasn't OUR type of pizza even if it was from specialized custom places. Unfortunately to get the real Italian pizza right you need to have good basic ingredients because it is a simple dish to make, it is just some flower, water, yeast, salt and you let the doe grow for 12/24h and you get some good tomato sauce and some genuine mozzarella (just mozzarella without "cheese" after) with basil and you are done.
We don't have garlic bread in Italy. We have toasted bread on which you rub a garlic clove then you can wet it with olive oil and a pinch of salt. You don't eat the whole garlic lol
In Sweden, we do have both Dominos is a low end Pizzeria and Pizza Hut more i middle end. The Swedish pizzas are still the best.. The Swedish Banan Curry pizza is my favorite. .
That flavor combo I guess, is hard for most to even imagine and probably would get jailtime if you served it in Italy. I've nothing against it, but you can't even compare it to a good version of our (without competition) national pizza; The Kebabpizza. Almost as sacrilegious as the American bastardization, but in a different way. I usually prefer a pizza in line with the original Italian route. With a thin crust, quality ingredients and clean flavors. But sometimes I'd happily just order one of the completely crazy ones in the spirit of "skrovmål", just throw the goddamn menu on there, bake it, and drench it.
You don’t need a lot of spices to make pizza, it’s really pretty simple with just a few ingredients (of course the quality of the ingredients is what matters the most).
Yep, garlic bread, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken-parmigiana and the infamous fettuccine Alfredo (which actually exist but has nothing to do with what you have in the US) are NOT, repeat with me, ARE NOT Italian dishes!!! Are American mutation went waaaaay out of control!! 🤣🤣🤣. Greetings from Tuscany.
Her pizza looks like tomato sauce base, mozzarella and basil leaves. It looks nice but you can get better toppings than that. Pizza quattro formaggi, with gorgonzola. I like pizza funghi, mushrooms.
Italian here, let me give you my take on this video: 1) I think I might have an idea on why the "garlic everywhere" is a thing. We actually add a bit of garlic to many dishes and many sauces but it's only a little bit and sometimes we even remove those 2-3 pieces of garlic that were used during the cooking process, we don't eat it. Garlic is almost never the dominant flavor, I can think of a few dishes where garlic is more dominant of the top on my head: "Garlic, Oil and Chili spaghetti" and "bruschettas" (a slice of -sometimes- toasted bread flavored with garlic and optionally other things on top). I think people in the US thought "oh they put garlic everywhere, so if it's an italian dish it MUST have lots of garlic in it!" 2) That carbonara looks orrible, not gonna lie. And like, if you're going to make carbonara in the US I bet you can can just go buy the ingredients to do it yourself and it would be 10 times better than that. All you need for a cheap carbonara (other than the pasta) are eggs, bacon, grated cheese and pepper (optional if you don't like it but recommended). It's one of the easiest dishes to make, even I can make it and I suck at cooking. I would never order a "carbonara take away box" like that. 3) We do have cardboard boxes for pizza here and yes, you do sometimes see that oil stain on them (although not as wide as in the video). The main thing about the pizza is that how thck it is as you pointed out. However, I've been to many pizza places, and sometimes you do find pizzas here that are a bit more thick than usual (never THAT thick though). However, many times this results in the pizza being smaller so in the end the amonut of dough used is almost identical. Then you have what I call "Naples-style" pizzas, which have normal thickness except for the border that is extra wide and tall.
I'm Italian. I don't know if I'd like Chicago deep dish pizza, but at least we must say that it is an original American receipe, with its own characteristics.
Im surprised, because PizzaHut in our country/ies has the TOP quality ingrediences, fres as hell and DAMN tasty, especialy with cheese infused crust... however expensive and small, but still great 😲 4:50 I just bursted into laughter! It looks like some dead animal :-D 6:30 "It looks pretti sad" THIS ONE I WILL from now use for description of such level of failure 😀 This one was realy hillarious... so now Im going to make some "wine saussages" for the dinner 😀
In Germany you can actually get 2 types of Pizza: Traditional Italian, and American Style (plus some Grrman adapted version, but Germans have their own version, called Flammkuchen). Having said that, I lived 20+ years in the US, and Germany's idea of American Syle Pizza is nowhere near accurate! (Then again, this is also true for American Pizza Places I the US that advertise NY Style Pizza, and I really isn't 🤷♂️ 😅) BTW, Dominos in Germany used to be like the USA Domino's, but they acquired a Chain called Joey's Pizza, and now German Domino's is quite different (and the current new NY Style Pizza is quite awful 😂), but overall slightly better. I am a Cook, and while in the US I baked quite a few Pizzas when working in a slightly upscale Brewery Restaurant. 😊
Regardless of food topic - let me please urge you again (as jokingly as possible :D) to visit the Cafe Prague restaurant in Chicago (I hope it's not that far from you the distances in America are ridiculous :D) their foods look legitimately Czech I heard they have good reviews by the czech expats and even the Americans. Lots of legit Czech food like Svičková with dumpling (absolute must have) or classic goulash, but they also have some let's say regular foods for Americans or Chicken Nuggets for kids so everyone should be happy there. What might actually sway you to visit with family especially (your dad and my man Pedro) is the fact they have TWO Czech beers on tap from the faucet as they call it. Pilsner Urquell and the CzechVar aka Budvar. The food looks cheap to me but the beer is expensive as f... but that might just be a bias from Czechia :D anyway I would love to see you try and hear your review
@03:56 Agreed. The origin was Italian food at best, but then it was changed to match "the US taste". Quite similar: Being Dutch, we have great Indonesian/Chinese style influenced food here, but do not expect to be able to order the same in Indonesia or China. It's way off. 👴😳🤷♂
Wow dude, that poor woman, I've eaten pizza in Naples and nothing, absolutely nothing that dominos, papa jons or pizza hut, resembles any pizza from Italy, your right, so called american pizzas should be in their own category,k.out of the park again, well done sir, high to everyone,chau for now
I tried dominos pizza once, and I was cured for the rest of my life. This was in the Netherlands. I didn't know it was them before I reacted, but she knows how to do it the real way.
I started following Pasta Grammar a couple of years ago. I love this couple but most of all I adore Eva. I'm from Naples in Campania, she's from Calabria. We're both from the south. This video almost looks like Harper is enjoying torturing his wife and she's really suffering, LMAO
Dutch here. My brother has a gf from NY, and she believes that pizzas here don't come close to those from NY. So we might be closer to Italy, but pizzas here are apparently even worse. Then again, I think she is part Italian, so maybe she just knows where to go in NY.
Dominos did take over a few small pizza places in germany. The quality drop was nuts. I am someone who tries at least a margaritha at every place that offers pizza. Including random places that have no place offering pizza and Dominos still manages to be easily the worst shit i have ever eaten. I rather pay 2-5 € more for a bad pizza than whatever Dominos has here in Germany. I just checked and all Dominos that showed up 2 or 3 years ago in my area, are now completely gone. Color me not surprised.
That domino pizza looked legit deluxe compared to how Danish Domino looks. (looked, they no longer exist. We lynched em).... At least that pizza was made from a real doughball.
you'd be surprised how good italian domino was, and american domino is better than UK's domino which is borderline criminal, even when you're drunk and it's paid for by the office.
Honestly, i've had a Domino Pepperoni Pizza in Miami Beach, and it was the best (Take-a-away) Pizza i've ever tried!!! The only thing: Pepperoni in Germany (or in Europe i guess) brings sweat on your nose, and sometimes tears in your eyes. This didn't at all. An american Pepperoni pizza is called 'Salami Pizza' over here... :]
Even in Italian budget restaurants, run by Italians, you’ll almost never get acceptable pasta dishes because we Germans apparently like our pasta to be drowned in heavy cream sauce. If you order a Carbonara ask if you can have it Italian style! Then it usually will be OK.
Im from Australia, and Domino's dropped the pizza from the name so they could experiment with other products. They recently put out a pizza hot dog. It's not a hot dog flavoured pizza but a hot dog using pizza dough as the bun. Have not tried it, but seen reviews, and it looks very average. We do garlic and herb hearb bread in Australia. I know spaghetti and meatballs are a NY invention. Yes, they do meatballs in Italy but not with pasta. I don't like thin, fast food pizza as it tastes like cardboard. I don't mind thin from a restaurant. I prefer classic crust or deep pan from dominos. We dont have Chicago style deep dish. Normal Italians pizza is not very healthy. It has lots of sauce, lots of cheese, and often meat toppings. Melbourne, Australia does some of the best pizza in the world. Starbucks did not work in Australia as Melbourne is the home of cafes and coffee, not just Australian bu5 world wide. If you like you pizza and coffee then Lygon Street in Melbourne is the place to go. I don't currently live in Melbourne, but was born there. It is the best of the big cities in Australia IMO. Sorry Sydney, you have the harbour which I love but Melbourne just does a lot of things better and it is more lade back for a city of its size. I like the style of your channel. Very lade back. You are the closest think to an Aussie American. If that is even a thing. You would fit in well but Sydney is not for everyone as it has the feel of a big city and people are always in a hurry. Like America, Australia has something for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I go to Sydney reguarly so it has it good points too. The Harbour is Amazing.
I know for sure that Domino's pasta carbonara dish is not the correct one, because, I had the real thing in Roma. For one, the sauce is not a marinara/tomato based sauce; it's a light buttery sauce made with pancetta, eggs, Parmesan, & black pepper, and, it's served with Spaghetti. As for the pizza. a family run place in New York, Chicago, or New Haven, CT, may be a better place for pizza than a Globalist chain, like Domino's, for sure.
My sons girlfriend worked for a Dominos Pizza here in Australia. Worked up to manager, and yes..they've worldwide tried to convince the world to believe that pizza SHOULD taste like their version of it. Great business model, bad for HUMANITY. Like you say in your food vids, go more towards natural and people like it more!! (Money makers forget we are biological mammals!🤣). Have to mention that Dominos in my area are very good value and seem to not soak their boxes with oil! Maybe franchise owners need to make sure all staff are doing the basics!🤣👍 Local owner,(hopefully from Italy), pizza shops are definitely the best. Australia has 1000s of REAL pizza shops, most in regional areas because of lease prices. Hope your handling family, utube, work and fun mate. You create a lot of content! 👍
Wait... do people consider Pizza unhealthily? I mean the original one, no these biochemical weapon.... Pizza is super healthy if prepared correctly. At the end of the day is like eating bread (the European’s one), tomato and cheese (at least the Margherita)
If I were really drunk I would probably eat THAT. But it would probably be better and cheaper to have another beer and hopefully not notice anything else.
In Germany the Pizza looks different and taste different think I because we have here Italian pizzerias where we can go eat a original Pizza like the Italien eating
I think it's more an issue of availability? 100% authentic would mean - hmmm I'd love a carbonara right now, so let me just order the guanciale on line and I'll be able to eat one in three days! But It's a 15 minute dish to quickly knock up and enjoy and I want it now, so pancetta it is! I can't even reliably get pecorino at my local shops!!! 😂
@@Logan9Fingers Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that your fresh produce is really expensive but your fast food is dirt cheap. Hmmm…. More money for the corporate businesses controlling the economy and the health are system. No wonder it’s the home of the brave!
The vast majority of pizzas - even from small independent places - in the US is nothing like real pizza like you'd find in Naples or Rome. They are just entirely different things. I think most Italians would just like Americans to come up with a different name for their concoctions.
American food seems to have way too many herbs and spices. They are supposed to enhance the flavour, not mask it!! It's like when you see someone prepping a joint of meat and they smother it in 23 herbs, 52 spices, beer, dish soap, and WD40, and I'm like "you could swap the meat for a shoe and you wouldn't taste the difference!!".
Every time an American eats an "Italian dish" a grandmother in Italy dies of a broken heart
So, Olive Garden are basically mass murderers 😂
I used to be a food columnist and an Italian cook once told me that anything thicker than five millimeters is a cake, not a pizza.
American pizza does exist in Europe, actually in France, but they call it a Quiche.
@@mindscraper1978 Quiche have nothing to do with pizza. It's like saying pasta and noodles are the same thing.

Domino's actually tried to sell us pizza here in Italy, but they miserably failed and closed every restaurant lol
Kind of like Starbucks trying to sell coffee in Australia. Wrong market culture lol.
That's like Subway trying to sell spongy club sandwiches in Belgium. They had to close most of their places haha. I love it when local food culture wins from American import 🎉
@@KrenisphiaStarbucks, American Ice Cream, Subway and Walmart all pretty much failed in Germany and we are not really picky consumers.

Well, they still do here in Austria just to the north of italy, but everyone knows that its "american" pizza, and so we know what to expect. Its just something completely different. Like the turkish one (Lahmacun) they also call pizza sometimes, but most people know that its a "kind of" pizza, but actually something different.
I hate to say it, but the cheapest supermarket own-brand frozen pizzas here in Europe look more appetising than that Domino’s pizza, and as for the pasta and whatever those dough balls were meant to be, they look disgusting
The pasta looked like my spaghetti with ketchup ,after a school + 8h shift in the store , that I made at 11pm before bed when I skipped the lunch. And I think, it looked a bit better tbh (added a bit of water, using ketchup as a tomato paste to create a "sauce", spaghetti al dente dropped in and tossed for a minute or two to cover the pasta).
We had a Dominos for a VERY short time (before it went bankrupt) here in Denmark. It tasted literally, worse than the cheapest of the cheap cardboard pizzas you get from supermarkets. It also had the exact same bottom. That VERY thin, and VERY (COMPLETELY) crisp bottom with tiny holes all over it from that roller thingy. NO soft delicious bread areas... Like swedish knackbrot. And then the topping was also grossly chemical tasting. I could live with a completely crisped bottom, if the taste had been nice. But it was just completely bland "tomato", slight/weird chemical taste, and cant taste teh cheese either on it. its like all of it was made from cardboard and food colouring.
I was so excited my first time. Gonna try that Domino we had seen for ages in american movies. And then this absolute dog shit gets served us. Wouldnt even feed any animals with it. Wouldnt even feed it to a prisoner I am in the process of torturing/interrogating... Its just a job... Im not evil...
This poor woman, as an Italian myself, that pasta and pizza are a hate crime against my people 😂

Honestly if there is good pizza in the USA, it's hiding. I live in the USA and have for more than a decade, and in the area I live in there is nothing even vaguely resembling Italian food, although lots of restaurants claim to be authentic Italian food. I have been to more than 20 states and have not had anything even remotely Italian.
the ingredient quality just isnt there at a low enough price for places to utilize fresh ingridients for traditional recipies, much easier to add spices and sauces and salt and sugar etc. You will find good places all over the usa but theyll be at premium prices if youre looking european italian style. I also dont think people realise how good the pizzas at even random local places can be in the uk, probably because theres real italian immigrants from italy lol.
Last year I was in Palm Springs and the hotel owner said I must try a new restaurant with the very best italian food he'd ever had because the owners were from Italy (?). It was good, but no better (and probably not as good) than any of 4 restaurants within a 10 minute walk of where I live in London, and twice as expensive.
@@madmark1957 there is plenty of great pizza here, gotta hard disagree there. But to say it’s not authentic Italian should be obvious. I said there was much better pizza here than dominos, not authentic straight from Naples pizza. Chicago pizza for example is its own thing.. it’s not trying to be authentic small town Italy
Theres tons of world known pizza places in USA
@@thomashovgaard3134 I seriously doubt that. Why? Well leaving aside the quality etc., how would people around the world know of a pizza place in a different country from the one they live in. Contrary to popular opinion in the USA, the rest of the world, for the most part, spends zero minutes per day thinking about the USA. Personally prior to living in the USA I could name a couple of the US pizza chains but that's it.
Oh Lord! Her facial expressions looking at the food says it all. 😂
We hear just by the noise when he bites the pizza it's totally different for dominos pizza. And yes a good traditional napolitan pizza is not really unhealthy.
It's just flour, water, salt, a bit of olive oil, tomatoes, basel and cheese. That's it ! We can't call that unhealthy unless you eat a lot of them and consume 3 times your daily calories
I don't know where the legend that italian cuisine is so full of garlic comes from! In italy we use it in moderation and not everywhere.
Exactly
Gli spaghetti con le polpette? come nel film lilli e il vagabondo?come fosse la pasta numero uno !
Melting cheese with sugar, then adding garlic on top of it, it just blows my mind! Kisses from France, (real) italian food is wonderful!
I live in the UK. I lived with a couple of Italians for a while and I know how touchy they get over their food. When I made spaghetti bolognese they said 'don't you dare to call it that'. For reference a lot of my friends who got to try it say my bolognese is better than what they get served in most Italian restaurants. When it comes to pizza I know how sensitive they are about it as well and although I do agree that no one should say things like 'original italian pizza' or even 'italian' but overall Pizza is not something I eat all the time and it's a treat for me so I do like it with a whole load of cheese. I travelled Europe and tried various pizzas and basically people just put on it whatever they like. It's like when I first came to live in the UK 20 years ago I saw a lady eating a sandwich with crisps (chips in US) when I talked to her about it she gave me the spot on answer - 'If something taste good and you like it then it makes sense'. This simple philosophy actually appealed to me and shaped my idea of cooking, I barely ever follow strictly the recipes, usually only when I cook something for the first time and then judge what I think could improve it. When it comes to pizza most of the time I make simple standard dough but sometimes I like to have fin with it and I made dough with herbs, garlic and so on but an absolute jackpot was the tomato and herbs dough, this was like the pizza experience times 10, even the smell knocks you off your feet.
Point is, if you cook yourself you are the king of your food and you decide what is good.
And that's why in Scotland we deep fry them, we always sing " We're gonna deep fry your pizza's" when we play Italy at football.
I've been to Italy on vacation quite a few times and the original Italian food is just spectacular, you just can't get it in any other country, period.
Except Australia.
you can get excellent italian dishes almost everywhere in Europe. Its just the US who globally has very low quality ingredients and usually focus on profit rather than just making good food.
Sad but true.
@@homasas4837 no man..:)
@@bobbyvialli yes man.
In Glasgow there are many Italians and many authentic restaurants. Thank goodness.
Italians might not have "garlic bread" but they do have bruchetta, with oil and garlic.
I'd say, bruschetta with garlic and oil *is* garlic bread. The pinnacle of garlic bread!
@@PotsdamSeniorIt's the future.
@@101steel4 Una fetta di vero pane, leggermente abbrustolita alla fiamma di un caminetto, strofinata con un uno spicchio d'aglio e l'aggiunta di un filo d'olio d'oliva, oppure con sopra una fettina sottilissima di lardo... è passato che ha ancora futuro!
In America even in an Italian restaurants you'll probably never find real Pasta Carbonara because it has raw egg yolk in it and I know Americans don't do raw egg, they are kinda weird about it but that is because the food industry is iffy.
Here in Belgium in an Italian restaurant you'll get a real Carbonara with raw egg yolk and NO CREAM (there is no cream in a real Carbonara!) but when you buy it ready made sadly they can't use raw egg yolk because it goes bad too fast so it is with cream and it's disgusting. But it is super easy and quick to make yourself.
I'm European, but not Italian level snobby about pizza or pasta.
So, when I visited NYC the first time, I had to visit little Italy, because it had a good reputation both online and in TV series.
4 out of 5 places were making Margueritas, meant to be re-heated with the optional toppings...
Dear 'mericans.. even the cheapest Turkish run pizzerias here bake the whole pizza with toppings on demand within 10 mins.
And if you ask for garlic bread you get a calzone w/o ham + garlic oil.
That said, if you go to an actual Italian owned pizzeria, you get some amazing pizzas, but less choice what to put on your pie.
In conclusion... NYC pizza was a dud, compared to what's available in Denmark.
If you have a can of chopped tomatoes, some fresh basil and a ball of mozzarella, you can make the topping. If you have flour, yeast, water and olive oil, you can make the dough... the actual difficult part is having an oven and stone that makes it crispy.
Italian cooking isn't about having a lot of herbs, the philosophy is a few good quality ingredients.. simplicity.
I'd add parma ham or some other meats to increase the protein level, but it's not really necessary.
please don't call italians snobby
they just like their food and got standards
@@pikminologueraisin2139 nah they are over dramatic about their food
pizza margherita btw
@@bepinkfloyd814 yeah I know, but my auto correct was even more off, so I gave up spelling it correctly... sorry
hahaha, you discovered the best food channel on the web that I've been subscribed to for 2 years. Eva is a great cook and Harper is a professional filmmaker. 😊
I was in Italy last week. It was very good, even the supermarket makes the best fresh ones there. Domino doesn't make real pizza, but it's not bad (certainly in terms of health), but you shouldn't see it as pizza.
Did you hear that crunch at 11:35 ? Now THAT'S a real pizza !
If you want to try a Domino Pizza in Brussels, Belgium: the worst I've ever tasted. Nothing beats a real Italian 🍕
Pizza Hut is worse than Dominos.
@lorrefl7072 you can neither of them call a pizza
the only point of domino's is that it can be cheap
@@lorrefl7072 Italian here: never tried Domino's but Pizza Hut in Blackpool (UK) was non-edible. No, really.
As an Australian not a fan of most American food sure it’s cheap and you get a lot but everything is so sweet
Hi, Poland here. I have watched someone else reaction to this video and this is how I was introduced to the channel: Pasta Grammar. Since then Eva is my Italian guru. I made a lot of food from they recepies. Love them all. It's not hard to order original IT stuff here to Poland and can 100 % recomend Eva's and Harper's work. Love them and hope to see you react to Domino's Pizza in IT - how Eva order Pizza from the Dominos but in Italy. I have one simple rule when it comes to the food: 'If I didn't made it I want eat it.' I bake my own bread etc. Pasta Grammar is very educational also about history of IT food. Highly recomend it!
I love them too (I'm Italian born & raised) and agree with you, the knowledge they do is serious. Just Eva is a little too dramatic sometimes 😅
Home made pizza is extremely healthy- bread (minus all the salt and sugar), tomatoes, quality (buffalo) mozzarella, and maybe olives, and some other toppings. Why do people not all do this? It is really easy and extremely cheap, and I'm not even a good cook (I can feed 4 with only the best ingredients for the cost of a single takeaway pizza).
I can't make pizza paste it's hard and my furnace isn't made for cooking pizzas
It's absolutely not easy to do a good pizza dough
No me parece tan saludable la Pizza, los platos Italianos como la pasta fresca y la salsa carbonara la hago con nata y queso Español, aunque antes que pizza prefiero tapas.
and it is also fun to do with your kids!
@@reinach77 it's not hard either
Technically pizza is made with bread dough that has been stretched thin, adding crushed tomatoes, a little bit of oil and fresh mozzarella, so it's basically as healthy as tomato salad with some fresh cheese and bread
Nope, pizza is not made with bread dough. Is made with more or less the same ingredients, but pizza dough and bread dough are different.
@@nicoladc89 l'unica differenza è che alcuni la idratano di più ma il resto è identico

Sono stato in Canada e negli USA molti anni fa, credo nel 1993...ho apprezzato la vostra carne, i vostri Fast Food, di più quelli locali e meno quelli delle grandi catene, le vostre colazioni salate e le bibite gassate e succhi...ma ricordo ancora con terrore quando sapendo che eravamo italiani ci cucinavano la pasta con la maionese o il Ketchup, scotta a livello di colla per i manifesti e immangiabile... Pizza Hut era discreta se semplicemente non la consideravo pizza, ma qualcos'altro...in più si notava la mancanza di varietà di verdure, di pesce, di alimenti freschi...ottimi invece i venditori di cibo ambulanti....Il caffè è stato anche un punto doloso....a paragone di un espresso napoletano erano acqua colorata...😅😅😅
I was in Canada and the USA many years ago, I think in 1993... I appreciated your meat, your fast food, more the local ones and less those of the big chains, your savory breakfasts and carbonated drinks and juices. ..but I still remember with terror when knowing that we were Italian they cooked our pasta with mayonnaise or Ketchup, overcooked like poster glue and inedible... Pizza Hut was discreet if I simply didn't consider it pizza, but something other... moreover we noticed the lack of variety of vegetables, fish, fresh foods... however the street food vendors were excellent.... The coffee was also a sore point.... in comparison to a Neapolitan espresso were colored water...😅😅😅
4:50 - It wasn't her laughter that says what's on her mind, it was the hand gesture that she made afterwards. Go watch it again, Ian. 😉
The other part that makes people laugh is Americans seem to eat of of cardboard boxes all the time.
Or go out "for a meal" and eat it out of cardboard in their car then drive home. Never get out the fk car.
I think “influencers” eat in their car for obvious reasons. Real Americans and families like mine like to take our time and visit while eating IN the restaurant 🎉
@@IWrocker In Washington DC I stayed at an hotel next to a BurgerKing drive through. Together with a Canadian tourist we played a game, guessing which burger the police car picked up by the jaw opening at first bite. Single, cheese, double...
Garlic bread is a British thing, wild garlic used to be a major weed in wheat fields here, the bulbules (tiny bulbs on the seed head) are the same size as wheat seeds and are very difficult to sort, so when ground, the flour would taste of garlic, and make garlic bread, which was sold cheaper than garlic free bread.
Less is more on a pizza,it’s about matching the ingredients
Yep, it's or... or..., not and, and, and, with more.
I have seen the original video and i was suffering with her.
In europe we also get pizza for quick easy food during gathering. But our standard is higher. It doesn't take more time for the pizzaiolo to make a good pizza.
Carbonara with MUSHROOMS OMG😂😂😂😂
I can not comment on dominos or pizzahut pizzas but the American craze for sugar(thanks to the sugar lobby) is real.Even at a European McDonalds which has a altered menu adapted to European taste the buns for instance are unedibley sweet.😢
American bread is bizarre. So much sugar that it's a type of cake rather than bread. I couldn't eat it..
The amount of sugar added in ordinary supermarket products is unreal! This stuff is killing people!
Topping a pizza is really easy: less is more! You don't need a ton of ingredients: she made that with cheese, tomato sauce & some vegetable I don't know the English word for. That's it: that was the entire topping. Easy, cheap and tasty!
Pizza Margherita - the classic pizza from Napoli.
as with many other places in the world, there's lots of local, often historical, differences even within a single country. like, the generally more 'hearty' and 'rich' food in northern Italy, when you get towards the colder climates of the alps with harsher winters, is quite different to what evolved around the more southern volcanic regions where the tomato found rich soil and quickly became popular hundreds of years ago. head further south towards Sicily and things look and taste quite different yet again.
judging US American pizza by comparing it to 'original Italian pizza' (from what region?) is like going to the UK and saying Chicken Tikka Masala ain't Indian food. or Viennese Goulash is but a mild copy of Hungarian Pörkölt, "real" Gulyas is basically a spicy beef and paprika soup. this goes on and on and on :)
I've always had a dose of the squits the morning after I've eaten any Domino's pizzas.
This channel is awesome if you want to learn more about italian food. So maybe react to more of their videos if you want.
My muscles hurt from laughing. That girl is great!
here in italy you can go eat anything anywhere and it will be awesome
That’s a great channel for Italian cooking as is Vincenzo’s Plate.
Subway closed too in Estonia.
People can make their own sandwich here
Seen this before it's so funny watching her taste that American mess. Edit when they were ordering he asked her if they have pineapple, she said her family would disown her if she did.
i also never understood the connection between garlic and italy in america. When i think of garlicky food, then my mind goes to the east (from the view of an austrian!), like hungary, romania, etc. Garlic + Bread = delicious hungarian langos (also available in austria, especially at christmas markets)
Never yet had a pizza which had a splash of olive oil or fresh herbs on it and always soggy in the middle. The box they come in are more appertizing than the pizza
New York and Chicago "pizza" are not really pizzas either according to actual Italians.
They definitely aren’t like pizza in Italy. They are their own dishes.
In Europe (not in Italy, of course) in alot of take away places you can find "pizza" and "American style pizza"... In my opinion Italians like to exaggerate when it comes to their foods... This stuff isn't the real deal, sure... But it's a foreign clone... I like an American style pizza, cheezy crust! Yummy! But i also like a real Italian one... Both good, both very different.
Always said with Domino's ! Throw away the pizza and eat the box !!! Way more flavour
I come from another EU country and have pizza culture here as well , and there a few 'proper' Italian pizzeria's , and I've had decent pizza . But , after I ate pizza in Naples, nothing comes close to it now for me.
I'm Italian, I confirm that there are no: garlic bread, Alfredo sauce, spaghetti with meatballs, chicken parm.
I remember visiting a friend in Napoli, Italy.
We went for pizza. American tourists were in the restaurant already eating their pizza. They freaking said out loud how they were disappointed that it didn't taste like "real pizza".
I said, "Man, you do realise you're in Napoli, right?"
Unbelievable.
A good pizza doesn’t have to be expensive.
There is no such thing as “european” pizza. Pizza is from Naples. You can have an amazing pizza in Naples or an ok pizza in most places around Italy. That’s it.
There are other variants that are good, like roman pizza al taglio, or the thick pizza from Bari, but those are very different kind of “pizzas”.
With all the italians having come over to Germany and opening pizzerias, I sure hope we have good pizza here.^^
Ciao Ian, in Italia si usa poco aglio : è presente in molte ricette, ma ne usiamo poco, non è l'ingrediente principale. Importante : NON c'è aglio nella pasta Carbonara
Oh this gonna be fun 🍕
Deep dish pizza AKA backyard pool size
Funny, I must say I had the same problem with all US breads my first travel in USA, long time ago! Greetings from Belgium🍀🍀🍀
I am Italian and I've been to NYC and W.D.C. in mid September for the first time and the pizza wasn't bad (one place was good) but it wasn't from Dominos. One thing is that it wasn't OUR type of pizza even if it was from specialized custom places.
Unfortunately to get the real Italian pizza right you need to have good basic ingredients because it is a simple dish to make, it is just some flower, water, yeast, salt and you let the doe grow for 12/24h and you get some good tomato sauce and some genuine mozzarella (just mozzarella without "cheese" after) with basil and you are done.
We don't have garlic bread in Italy. We have toasted bread on which you rub a garlic clove then you can wet it with olive oil and a pinch of salt. You don't eat the whole garlic lol
In Sweden, we do have both Dominos is a low end Pizzeria and Pizza Hut more i middle end. The Swedish pizzas are still the best.. The Swedish Banan Curry pizza is my favorite. .
That flavor combo I guess, is hard for most to even imagine and probably would get jailtime if you served it in Italy. I've nothing against it, but you can't even compare it to a good version of our (without competition) national pizza; The Kebabpizza. Almost as sacrilegious as the American bastardization, but in a different way. I usually prefer a pizza in line with the original Italian route. With a thin crust, quality ingredients and clean flavors. But sometimes I'd happily just order one of the completely crazy ones in the spirit of "skrovmål", just throw the goddamn menu on there, bake it, and drench it.
You don’t need a lot of spices to make pizza, it’s really pretty simple with just a few ingredients (of course the quality of the ingredients is what matters the most).
Pasta Grammar is an awesome channel
There's a lot to watch 😊
Yep, garlic bread, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken-parmigiana and the infamous fettuccine Alfredo (which actually exist but has nothing to do with what you have in the US) are NOT, repeat with me, ARE NOT Italian dishes!!! Are American mutation went waaaaay out of control!! 🤣🤣🤣. Greetings from Tuscany.
Her pizza looks like tomato sauce base, mozzarella and basil leaves. It looks nice but you can get better toppings than that.
Pizza quattro formaggi, with gorgonzola. I like pizza funghi, mushrooms.
Exactly. That's the 'original' pizza, as far as I know. Pizza Margherita which has the colours of the Italian flag: green, white, read.
I'm a fan of Eva and Harper of Pasta Grammar channel. At the time of the video they lived in Maine,now they live in Arizona.
Italian here, let me give you my take on this video:
1) I think I might have an idea on why the "garlic everywhere" is a thing. We actually add a bit of garlic to many dishes and many sauces but it's only a little bit and sometimes we even remove those 2-3 pieces of garlic that were used during the cooking process, we don't eat it. Garlic is almost never the dominant flavor, I can think of a few dishes where garlic is more dominant of the top on my head: "Garlic, Oil and Chili spaghetti" and "bruschettas" (a slice of -sometimes- toasted bread flavored with garlic and optionally other things on top). I think people in the US thought "oh they put garlic everywhere, so if it's an italian dish it MUST have lots of garlic in it!"
2) That carbonara looks orrible, not gonna lie. And like, if you're going to make carbonara in the US I bet you can can just go buy the ingredients to do it yourself and it would be 10 times better than that. All you need for a cheap carbonara (other than the pasta) are eggs, bacon, grated cheese and pepper (optional if you don't like it but recommended). It's one of the easiest dishes to make, even I can make it and I suck at cooking. I would never order a "carbonara take away box" like that.
3) We do have cardboard boxes for pizza here and yes, you do sometimes see that oil stain on them (although not as wide as in the video). The main thing about the pizza is that how thck it is as you pointed out. However, I've been to many pizza places, and sometimes you do find pizzas here that are a bit more thick than usual (never THAT thick though). However, many times this results in the pizza being smaller so in the end the amonut of dough used is almost identical. Then you have what I call "Naples-style" pizzas, which have normal thickness except for the border that is extra wide and tall.
About 2)
US cheese might be a problem...
About 3)
The pizza dough is different, a few simple ingredients, no rising agents, no sugar...
Deep dish pizza is "quiche", not pizza imho 😂
If you made a pizza with no tomatoes or cheese, filled it with egg and changed the bread to shortcrust pastry, then sure.
Quiche is egg.
Deep pan pizza is just a toasted sandwich.
Kinda like quiche, but there isn’t egg
I'm Italian. I don't know if I'd like Chicago deep dish pizza, but at least we must say that it is an original American receipe, with its own characteristics.
Im surprised, because PizzaHut in our country/ies has the TOP quality ingrediences, fres as hell and DAMN tasty, especialy with cheese infused crust... however expensive and small, but still great 😲
4:50 I just bursted into laughter! It looks like some dead animal :-D
6:30 "It looks pretti sad" THIS ONE I WILL from now use for description of such level of failure 😀
This one was realy hillarious... so now Im going to make some "wine saussages" for the dinner 😀
Hahahaha froma italian in the. Netherlands.
In Germany you can actually get 2 types of Pizza: Traditional Italian, and American Style (plus some Grrman adapted version, but Germans have their own version, called Flammkuchen).
Having said that, I lived 20+ years in the US, and Germany's idea of American Syle Pizza is nowhere near accurate! (Then again, this is also true for American Pizza Places I the US that advertise NY Style Pizza, and I really isn't 🤷♂️ 😅)
BTW, Dominos in Germany used to be like the USA Domino's, but they acquired a Chain called Joey's Pizza, and now German Domino's is quite different (and the current new NY Style Pizza is quite awful 😂), but overall slightly better.
I am a Cook, and while in the US I baked quite a few Pizzas when working in a slightly upscale Brewery Restaurant. 😊
Eva and Harper live in Arizona now, They lived in one of the lobster states before.
Regardless of food topic - let me please urge you again (as jokingly as possible :D) to visit the Cafe Prague restaurant in Chicago (I hope it's not that far from you the distances in America are ridiculous :D) their foods look legitimately Czech I heard they have good reviews by the czech expats and even the Americans. Lots of legit Czech food like Svičková with dumpling (absolute must have) or classic goulash, but they also have some let's say regular foods for Americans or Chicken Nuggets for kids so everyone should be happy there. What might actually sway you to visit with family especially (your dad and my man Pedro) is the fact they have TWO Czech beers on tap from the faucet as they call it. Pilsner Urquell and the CzechVar aka Budvar. The food looks cheap to me but the beer is expensive as f... but that might just be a bias from Czechia :D anyway I would love to see you try and hear your review
This is on my to-do list 🎉😎, it’s only about 45 mins from me. I can’t wait to try it, and I will make a video on it
Selfmade Pizzas are the best!
That's gonne be a good one =)
She is clearly playing it up.
...sure
Yep, Italian pizza isn't that good. And why is she complaining about oil when Italians practically pour a glass of oil over everything?
maybe a little,
sure, she does it to entertain us but the feelings are real
What do you expect, she is italian and a women 😂
@03:56 Agreed. The origin was Italian food at best, but then it was changed to match "the US taste".
Quite similar: Being Dutch, we have great Indonesian/Chinese style influenced food here, but do not expect to be able to order the same in Indonesia or China. It's way off. 👴😳🤷♂
Wow dude, that poor woman, I've eaten pizza in Naples and nothing, absolutely nothing that dominos, papa jons or pizza hut, resembles any pizza from Italy, your right, so called american pizzas should be in their own category,k.out of the park again, well done sir, high to everyone,chau for now
I tried dominos pizza once, and I was cured for the rest of my life.
This was in the Netherlands.
I didn't know it was them before I reacted, but she knows how to do it the real way.
I started following Pasta Grammar a couple of years ago. I love this couple but most of all I adore Eva. I'm from Naples in Campania, she's from Calabria. We're both from the south. This video almost looks like Harper is enjoying torturing his wife and she's really suffering, LMAO
Dutch here. My brother has a gf from NY, and she believes that pizzas here don't come close to those from NY. So we might be closer to Italy, but pizzas here are apparently even worse. Then again, I think she is part Italian, so maybe she just knows where to go in NY.
Dominos did take over a few small pizza places in germany. The quality drop was nuts. I am someone who tries at least a margaritha at every place that offers pizza. Including random places that have no place offering pizza and Dominos still manages to be easily the worst shit i have ever eaten. I rather pay 2-5 € more for a bad pizza than whatever Dominos has here in Germany.
I just checked and all Dominos that showed up 2 or 3 years ago in my area, are now completely gone. Color me not surprised.
That domino pizza looked legit deluxe compared to how Danish Domino looks. (looked, they no longer exist. We lynched em)....
At least that pizza was made from a real doughball.
Garlic Bread is an American invention yes.
you'd be surprised how good italian domino was, and american domino is better than UK's domino which is borderline criminal, even when you're drunk and it's paid for by the office.
The only budget restaurants I’d frequent in the UK would be Indian ones. Everything else is basically assault on your body.
Honestly, i've had a Domino Pepperoni Pizza in Miami Beach, and it was the best (Take-a-away) Pizza i've ever tried!!!
The only thing: Pepperoni in Germany (or in Europe i guess) brings sweat on your nose, and sometimes tears in your eyes. This didn't at all.
An american Pepperoni pizza is called 'Salami Pizza' over here... :]
You should make a video reacting to all the "fake" italian food that's actually italian-american food! 😂
Even in Italian budget restaurants, run by Italians, you’ll almost never get acceptable pasta dishes because we Germans apparently like our pasta to be drowned in heavy cream sauce. If you order a Carbonara ask if you can have it Italian style! Then it usually will be OK.
By us the Pizza looks different but it tastes good from Domino in Germany
Im from Australia, and Domino's dropped the pizza from the name so they could experiment with other products. They recently put out a pizza hot dog. It's not a hot dog flavoured pizza but a hot dog using pizza dough as the bun. Have not tried it, but seen reviews, and it looks very average. We do garlic and herb hearb bread in Australia. I know spaghetti and meatballs are a NY invention. Yes, they do meatballs in Italy but not with pasta. I don't like thin, fast food pizza as it tastes like cardboard. I don't mind thin from a restaurant. I prefer classic crust or deep pan from dominos. We dont have Chicago style deep dish. Normal Italians pizza is not very healthy. It has lots of sauce, lots of cheese, and often meat toppings. Melbourne, Australia does some of the best pizza in the world. Starbucks did not work in Australia as Melbourne is the home of cafes and coffee, not just Australian bu5 world wide. If you like you pizza and coffee then Lygon Street in Melbourne is the place to go. I don't currently live in Melbourne, but was born there. It is the best of the big cities in Australia IMO. Sorry Sydney, you have the harbour which I love but Melbourne just does a lot of things better and it is more lade back for a city of its size. I like the style of your channel. Very lade back. You are the closest think to an Aussie American. If that is even a thing. You would fit in well but Sydney is not for everyone as it has the feel of a big city and people are always in a hurry. Like America, Australia has something for everyone. Don't get me wrong, I go to Sydney reguarly so it has it good points too. The Harbour is Amazing.
"Normal Italian pizza" with meat and a lot of sauce?! Should I cry or should I laugh?🤔
I didn't know Brian May was an Italian lady.
I know for sure that Domino's pasta carbonara dish is not the correct one, because, I had the real thing in Roma. For one, the sauce is not a marinara/tomato based sauce; it's a light buttery sauce made with pancetta, eggs, Parmesan, & black pepper, and, it's served with Spaghetti. As for the pizza. a family run place in New York, Chicago, or New Haven, CT, may be a better place for pizza than a Globalist chain, like Domino's, for sure.
My sons girlfriend worked for a Dominos Pizza here in Australia. Worked up to manager, and yes..they've worldwide tried to convince the world to believe that pizza SHOULD taste like their version of it. Great business model, bad for HUMANITY.
Like you say in your food vids, go more towards natural and people like it more!!
(Money makers forget we are biological mammals!🤣).
Have to mention that Dominos in my area are very good value and seem to not soak their boxes with oil! Maybe franchise owners need to make sure all staff are doing the basics!🤣👍
Local owner,(hopefully from Italy), pizza shops are definitely the best. Australia has 1000s of REAL pizza shops, most in regional areas because of lease prices.
Hope your handling family, utube, work and fun mate. You create a lot of content! 👍
Wait... do people consider Pizza unhealthily? I mean the original one, no these biochemical weapon.... Pizza is super healthy if prepared correctly. At the end of the day is like eating bread (the European’s one), tomato and cheese (at least the Margherita)
If I were really drunk I would probably eat THAT. But it would probably be better and cheaper to have another beer and hopefully not notice anything else.
In Germany the Pizza looks different and taste different think I because we have here Italian pizzerias where we can go eat a original Pizza like the Italien eating
Italian here: italian-american food IS in its own category, just not a very good one! 😂
Erbs 😁
Heheheheheh ...Eva is great! Lol
Only Italians understand Carbonara! Whatever ingredients you think go into pasta carbonara, chances are you’re wrong!
I think it's more an issue of availability?
100% authentic would mean - hmmm I'd love a carbonara right now, so let me just order the guanciale on line and I'll be able to eat one in three days!
But It's a 15 minute dish to quickly knock up and enjoy and I want it now, so pancetta it is! I can't even reliably get pecorino at my local shops!!! 😂
@@Logan9Fingers Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that your fresh produce is really expensive but your fast food is dirt cheap. Hmmm…. More money for the corporate businesses controlling the economy and the health are system. No wonder it’s the home of the brave!

The vast majority of pizzas - even from small independent places - in the US is nothing like real pizza like you'd find in Naples or Rome. They are just entirely different things. I think most Italians would just like Americans to come up with a different name for their concoctions.
American food seems to have way too many herbs and spices. They are supposed to enhance the flavour, not mask it!! It's like when you see someone prepping a joint of meat and they smother it in 23 herbs, 52 spices, beer, dish soap, and WD40, and I'm like "you could swap the meat for a shoe and you wouldn't taste the difference!!".
