Italians have great raw ingredients, if only somebody would teach them how to use them.
This reads like such astroturfing advertisement. Also it’s just fucking sad if you really think domino’s is the height of pizza.
Big Pizza infiltrating Lemmy… stay alert soldier!
it is pretty obviously a joke at dominos expense
Yes, lemmy is large enough to get astroturfing bots now. Congratulations you are very smart.
It’s embarrassing how butthurt people are about this post. Euros can’t take a joke.
I enjoy seeing how many people had an opinion and lacked the words to express it. Cowards, I’ll suck you all off at the same time. Momma didn’t raise no coward and those massive American pizzas trained me for oral stretching.
Seeing Dominoes as the standard for American pizza fills me with sadness and shame.
Yes, I know it’s only a shitpost, but still.
Deep Dish erasure. It’s like our only original pizza contribution.
The perfidious Swede is known for curried bananas on their pizza. It could be worse.
Well, no. That would be tomatoes. Italians (and the world) have the indigenous peoples of the Americas to thank for that.
GOOD COMMENT, I’m stealing that for that when I repost this on genocide day to trigger people from New Jersey.
Pizza as a dish is an American dish at its core. Land and credit for Pizza back.
Deep dish is still better than anything Italy ever made, look at the amount of tomato in there. The defining ingredient.
Genocide day? What are we doing this year?
Celebrating with pizza of course
What holiday do Americans celebrate that might have something to do with making Italian-Americans upset?
I’ll give you a hint, he said this in a letter: “They do not bear arms, and do not know them. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane. They would make fine slaves. With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.”
What do you mean expensive? A Margherita is usually around 7 euros
in the US they are bougie as shit and the cheapest are usually $17 with the average around $25. And they are usually much shittier than any you’ll find in Italy.
I paid 21 USD* (~19 EUR) for a margarita in North-West America yesterday :(
It was pretty good, but it was also small (12"/30cm).
* that’s before 10% VAT and 15% mandatory tip - you can basically add another 5.
What the fuck
Wow ok that’s steep (also margarita is Spanish not Italian)
margarita
Ha, that was my spellchecker :)

Who’s talking about Africa?
They use euros in Africa? We are talking about Italian pizza so I’m talking about Italy
Yep in Italy is dirt cheap but the further away you go the more the American style stays cheap while the Italian style becomes “gourmet” and gets more expensive.
Wow that sucks

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

When I was living in London (pre brexit I don’t know now) I remember paying 6 pounds 50 for a really good napolitan pizza at “Da Michele” while dominoes was like 18 pounds for basically hot garbage

Three frozen pizzas, 3€.
Okay, I’m going to be that guy because I don’t see it being pointed out already.
That’s not actual Italian pizza, it’s still an Americanized version.
Real Italian pizza is so thin you have to eat it with a fork and knife and it’s meant for one person, not to share. The one in the picture is still way too thick to be real Italian.
But real Italian pizza in Italy really is on another level. It’s so god damned good, it makes all pizza in America look like cardboard with sauce.
“Real italian pizza is so thin” Yeah that’s just not true, there are many different types of Italian pizza, the most standard of which is like the one pictured. The form varies in popularity by region.
The Napoli pizza portofoglio is the best
Exactly, plus it’s usually cheap as hell too, along with being mind blowing-ly good.
Not everyone gets the chance to go to Italy though, so just enjoy the pizza and op should stop gate keeping a delicious food.
I’m not gatekeeping, I’m countering the papist menace known as “single serve” pizzas.

thank you I needed this laugh
Glad it caused a laugh.
i’ve had real italian pizza, in italy. it was fucking delicious, but it doesn’t make the best pies i’ve had in places like new york or chicago taste like cardboard with sauce. some places in nyc can absolutely go toe-to-toe with italy.
Yeah I don’t think so. They have different kinds of pizza in Italy. When I visited, I ate both kinds (as pictured and as you described). However, no sign of anything resembling Dominoes or frozen pizzas from the US. They were both delicious, but I prefer the slightly thicker and doughy crust seen in OP’s picture.
Thicc pizza is my guilty pleasure
The one on the left was by an Italian in an Italian cultural zone known as new Amsterdam (fucking hipsters changing the names of everything).
I’m Italian, can confirm that that pizza looks like a correct napolitan style pizza
If only the British were willing to share their culinary secrets and dental technology, many of the world’s problems could be solved decisively.
culinary secrets
A crybaby yelling at people and offering galaxy brain advice like “limit the size of your menu, it keeps consistency up” and “clean daily”?
dental technology
You’ve seen those haggard chompers, it’s a miracle they don’t fall out or bite themselves comically whilst speaking. Imagine what people who gave a shit could do with that dental necromancy
Why is normie naked? This feels disturbing, please unpost this
Seems normal to me, I can’t order Domino’s unless I’m fully nude… phone or on person. Figured we all had that problem!
Reddit taught me that’s the normal way to answer and the driver takes the view in lieu of a tip
This is pathetic

You should read Alberto Grandi. Broaden those horizons, just like the new world did for Italian food.

it’s funny how seriously people are taking this lol. good shitpost
I think the downvotes are from how obstinate I’m being. I clearly marked it with a /s
Domino’s crust is always covered with a layer of nasty gritty powder, even if I tell them to not season the crust.
it’s the cornmeal they use to keep it from sticking during prep
That’s what they want you to think
Uh, I’m pretty sure it’s baby powder.
Yeah that’s not seasoning, that’s corneal. Unless you mean the edges? Then that’s their fake parmesan.
Corn flour? Lol
Baffled at the plenty of toppings and lots of cheese notes. Maybe it’s just Dominoes in Canada but I’m fairly certain there’s less cardboard in the box it came in. To each their own I guess.
different supplier than the supply region I’m in, so I’ll take your word for it.
Maybe it’s part of the MAID plan? Easier to convince people if they don’t have good cheese to remind them that it’s worth going on until that next greasy slice.
Both the same price.
Proper Italian pizza - Just a like a mamma used to make
Dominos - 50% shareholder profit, 50 disappointment
I always forget how good a genuine pizza is until I have it again

food of the peasants
The ignorant peasants, yes. I can feed myself for two whole days off the price of a McDonald’s combo meal these days.
Eat the Mcslop citizen! A frugal wage-slave is bad for the economy, so do your part be precarious!
Memes aside, Punjabi food is definitely in the top tier when it comes to styles of Indian food (and Indian food is top tier already).

I feel you, variety is the spice of life (but that’s only after a vicious battle against cumin that could have gone either way).
That sounds awesome, I’m on the Wikipedia pages for a couple of those rn and you’re spot on. Nothing like it around me, but there is a Pakistani place that does Charsi Karahi with goat and it’s “viable contender for last meal” tier.
I need to learn how to make some Marathi food, when you said “spicy by Indian standards” you convinced me lol.
Thank you for sharing all this information and stuff. Not what I expected from a pizza shitpost.
I know it’s a meme, but this is a dumb take. You’re comparing two very different things, and they serve two different purposes. Sometimes you want to crush some fast food at 2 am after drinking at the pub, sometimes you want to have really good pizza where less is more and the quality of the ingredients matter. Eat both and be happy you have pizza.
That’s the joke
Really good pizza
more bread than anything else
Come on, we both know the toppings are the star of the show and bread is the delivery vehicle.
See how thick that chonker on the left is? That’s because it has a higher bread to topping ratio.
And people accuse Americans of wanting more sugar. WHAT DOES BREAD TURN INTO?
Pretty sure that 30 minutes or less thing hasn’t been a thing in forever
As with all retail, corporate accounts for people abusing the staff until the manager relents.
Don’t do it obviously, Scaphism is sometimes justified, but you will get that free pizza.
