What is your perspective on the new NY Pizza from Dominos? I have not ordered it yet, but I literally freak out at 8pm when they run the commercials. It's absolutely frightening the shakes I get, it was like when I was drinking.

I can tell you that most "NY Pizza" offerings at non-NY pizza parlors are fail.
In the 1970s, my parents actually found a good one in Redondo Beach (near LA), and we got it every week. Sometime in the '80s, it shut down, and that was that.
It would shock me if the Domino's NY Pizza was any good.
With that said, there actually WAS a good Domino's offering in the 1990s. It was called the "garlic crust" pizza, and I loved it. It had just the right amount of garlic in the crust, and it pretty much changed the entire taste of the pizza (for the better). Loved it. Unfortunately it was discontinued, which was highly disappointing.
I still get Domino's sometimes because Ben likes it. But I am under no delusion that it's good. There is some variance, where sometimes it does taste good, and other times it has that "chain pizza place" smell and taste, and I'm borderline grossed out.
theres good and theres good.
ive had some good times with dominos, i just dont consider it pizza exactly. more of a flatbread.
I posted this 3 years ago in a different thread, but since we are talking about Domino's, here's a late 1990s story about a Domino's near my then-apartment (and it featured the aforementioned garlic crust pizza!)
--------
Here's a story from about 25 years ago of disrespect for a long time customer, and how I never returned. I may have told it before, but whatever.
I lived down the street from a Domino's Pizza. That pizza is crap, as everyone knows, but around that time they came out with a "garlic crust pizza" which tasted surprisingly good. I started going there once a week and picking up a large garlic crust pepperoni pizza. That was my exact order every time. No way to order online then, so I would call it in, and the manager got so used to me that he recognized my voice after I said a few words.
"Is this Todd? A large garlic crust pepperoni pizza again?"
I'd laugh and say yes. The manager was always very friendly and nice when I came in to pick it up, greeted me by name, and everything was great. Additionally, he did a good job running the place, as they never screwed anything up, so I never had to complain about anything even once.
Well, one day I went to do my laundry and the machine in my building was broken. Fuck. So I looked up the nearest laundromat in the phone book, and it was right next to that Domino's. I went there with my big basket of laundry, and then noticed that the change machine only accepted $1 and $5 bills, and unfortunately I only had a $10 bill. Fuck again.
Then I realized something. "Oh wait! That Domino's is next door! They know me! They'll break this for me."
So I walked into Domino's, and there was the manager. He greeted me again by name, with a smile.
I told him what happened, and asked if he could simply break my $10 into two $5s.
"I'm sorry, Todd, but I can't," he replied.
"You're out of $5s? Because I'll take 10 ones if necessary," I responded.
"Oh no, we have plenty of $5s and $1s, that's not the issue. I just can't. Look at the sign...", he said, gesturing to a "CHANGE FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY, NO CHANGE FOR LAUNDROMAT CUSTOMERS" sign on the counter.
:what
I understood the need for the sign and the policy. They probably got really sick of assholes from the laundromat coming over there and asking them to break bills, without ever buying any food.
"But I am a customer," I replied. "I just ordered a pizza here two days ago. I do it every week. I order so much pizza from this place that you know my voice and have memorized my order."
"Yes," he said. "You're a great customer, and you do come here a lot. And I appreciate it very much. But rules are rules, and I can't break that bill for you."
I explained what happeend with my building's broken machine, the fact that I was unfamiliar with this laundromat, and that I had a big basket of laundry stting in there. All I needed was two fives for a ten. He didn't waver.
"If I do it for you, I have to do it for everyone else," he explained.
:wrong
"No you don't," I said. "There's nobody else in here. I'm not going to advertise that you broke a $10 for me on a one-time basis. The purpose of the policy is to stop people from taking advantage of your business for change, not to deny a tiny favor to a very regular customer."
"Again, I won't do it. I always keep to the policies I set", he replied.
What a fucking stickler ingrate.
I then said, "If I walk out without that $10 being broken, I'm never coming back. You okay with that?"
He replied that he doesn't want to lose my business, but it's my choice what I want to do. So I told him I was never returning. I was annoyed enough to where I tracked down the owner and left him a message as to why he lost my business forever.
The garlic crust pizza was discontinued shortly after that, so no big loss anyway.
But anyone who would keep coming in after an incident like the above has zero self respect.
Please do a video of you eating it, we need some fresh memes.
Got that pizza once, it was just ok.
ok they want to charge me $26 before tax/fees for a 12 inch "NY style" pizza.
for $26 i can get an authentic sicilian pizza the size of a goddamned doormat.
ok i found some wacked out coupon that brought it down to like $9.99.
ill contemplate the final decision after work.

Been here its close to where im from in Jersey, place isnt good so rating shoulda been worse IMHO
so theres an insane spesh on uber eats where if you spend over $10 you get a free $22 pizza so i took the plunge for all of you and got a NY pizza.
im not going to spend a lot of time on this; its pretty fucking awful. as something that was essentially free im not going to spend a lot of time/effort bemoaning its shortcomings but its just a soggy flatbread with cornmeal covered crust and what i expect is the cheapest cheese they can possible allow themselves. really uninspired.
if i was in a $60 a night motel in some christ forsaken fly over state, id basically feel grateful that this was an option.
but only at these prices, which still came to almost $30 with the fucking tips and fees etc.
the notion that they actually would otherwise have charged me $57'ish for this 'food' is legitimate proof that capitalism is done.
Little rough analysis, I picked one up tonight, the New York pizza they advertise all over the airwaves. It was like $16 and and just threw down a $20 and left. Yeah, I did not feel like I was at a downtown Brooklyn joint but it was pretty good, I guess. We all want this Tony Manero experience but they simply don't exist anymore.Quote:

What is not understood is there are two different types of pizza places.
1. Is the pizza place you call and order a lg cheese and a lg pepperoni with a 2ltr of mountain dew because your son/daughter is having 4-5 friends over and you ain't dealing with cooking or taking them out. Dominos falls into this category and you don't order here without a 2-1 coupon.
2. A local Italian place with hand made dough and pizza sauce that wont give you diabetes. This is a $25 min pizza with quality ingredients when you and the wife want something simple when the Thursday night game is on because its been a long week and you aint going out.

Sonatine, a young Jewish man, walked into a bustling pizzeria on the Lower East Side. The aroma of garlic and tomato sauce filled the air as he approached the counter. Suddenly, the owner, a burly Italian man with a thick mustache, glared at Sonatine and shouted, "No Jews allowed here!"Sonatine was taken aback. He stammered, "But... I just want to order a pizza."The owner pointed to a sign above the counter that read: "No Dogs or Jews Allowed."Sonatine felt a wave of anger wash over him. He knew his rights as an American citizen, but he also knew the harsh reality of anti-Semitism in 1930s New York.He took a deep breath and said firmly, "I am an American citizen. I have the right to order food wherever I choose."The owner sneered and replied, "Not in my establishment, you don't."Sonatine stood his ground. He demanded to speak to the manager. After a heated exchange, the manager reluctantly agreed to serve Sonatine, but only after making him wait an hour while other customers were served first.Sonatine left the pizzeria feeling humiliated and angry. He knew he couldn't change the world overnight, but he vowed to never let anyone treat him like a second-class citizen again. From that day forward, Sonatine became an active member of the Jewish community, fighting for civil rights and equality. His story inspired others to stand up against discrimination and bigotry.
Sonatine heard a powerful sermon about Jesus Christ. The rabbi spoke of Jesus' teachings of love, compassion, and forgiveness. Sonatine was deeply moved by the message and began to question his beliefs.He started reading the New Testament and found himself drawn to Jesus' words. He realized that Jesus was not just a prophet, but the Messiah, the King of Kings. Sonatine repented of his Judaism and converted to Christianity.He became a passionate follower of Jesus, spreading the Gospel message throughout New York City. His story inspired many others to turn away from their old ways and embrace the love and salvation of Jesus Christ.
Sonatine was shocked as he encountered an alley cat that said the N word over and over again.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cXt9K...?feature=share
and then, the cat came around again continued saying the N word
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cXt9K...?feature=share
Sonatine was upset by this cat. He continued about his business. But on the way home from Church, he again stumbled upon this cat. And the cat kept saying the N word.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cXt9K...?feature=share
Over time, Sonatine and the alley cat, who he named Gunther, formed an unlikely friendship, bonding over their shared experiences of discrimination and prejudice. They spent countless hours together, discussing their views on race relations and social justice. Sonatine's love for Gunther grew with each passing day, and he soon realized that he had fallen in love with the racist cat. Gunther, too, found himself drawn to Sonatine's kindness and compassion. He began to see the error of his ways and slowly started to change his attitude towards black people. With Sonatine's support and guidance, Gunther became a changed cat, embracing diversity and equality. Their love story became a legend in New York City, a testament to the power of love and understanding in overcoming hate and prejudice.

They found a quiet spot in the park and consummated their relationship, sealing their bond with a passionate kiss. From that moment on, they knew that they would always be together, fighting for a better world where everyone could live in peace and harmony.

You have this really weird obsession asking about my family, like a lot. One of the reasons why I stay anonymous is because guys like you, I just fear of someone like you showing up at my door "introducing yourself" and getting near my kids. That would likely have me to blow you away, then I have to deal with the stand your ground lawsuit with your gook wife, who probably would not give a shit other than she would want a payday. You simply are going to join Richard Brodie's Combover and end up on block. Have a nice life. Weirdo. Fuck man get a life.Quote:

The story of the Bay Area man who still runs the first-ever Round Table Pizza
https://inmenlo.com/wp-content/uploa...ound-table.jpg
the round table pizza in la canada ca was elite played alot of mortal kombat 2 as a 8 year old the pizza is fucking awful though
The thing about getting older is I never get toppings on my pizza and longer. Just sauce and cheese. When I was younger I would load it up with meat. Not anymore.
Tine what do you think about the plain pizza, no toppings, no meat? Something authentic about that, no?

and then there are roman pizzas, which are just simplicity itself. those are becoming very popular these days as well. very easy to make at home as well in oven temps.
I would enjoy this as a light snack.Quote:

A note on Round Table (RT) Pizza- It seems that their gimmick is just a different tangy sauce. I rather go to an indie hole-in-the-wall joint, have had good luck with them. I will still take a RT pizza, but there are so much better and different choices out there.
