> thoroughly mediocre
I was just watching Ugly Delicious[0], and there is an episode about pizza. David Chang reveals that his FAVORITE pizza in the world is actually a thin crust dominos pizza with a strange array of toppings.
He shares a pie with a brooklyn based pizza chef and another guy, and while everyone agreed it was delicious, they said it wasn't pizza.
I live in NYC and eat a lot of pizza, and while I obviously wouldn't consider Dominos in the class of a Robertas, Emily, Di Fara, etc, whatever it is they're making is pretty damn good. And their numbers seem to indicate that as well.
I live right next to a Joe's pizza, often touted as one of the best classic American pizza slice in NYC. I would take a dominos deep dish or thin crust over Joe's any time.

- ghaff 9y agoI was probably being too snarky. I admit I haven't had Domino's in a while. I can't get delivery and I haven't bothered to seek them out given a couple of local alternatives that I like. As the article says, they did reformulate their pizza at one point.
- louisswiss 9y agoAh, Joe's. A completely different kind of meal to a Dominos. I never really understood why people from the US call pizza 'pizza pie'. But when I think of a Dominos (or deep dish in general) it kind of makes sense. Joe's is a pizza, Dominos is a pie.
- gilbetron 9y agoThe two people he shared it with didn't say it was delicious, the just awkwardly tried to say it wasn't as nasty as they feared. You could tell it was 100% Dominos being some sort of sponsor. The pizza chef at the end even threatened Chang about making him eat it again. Dominos is terribad.
