Dunno if Domino's is comparable internationally (at least the sizes are smaller here in Germany), but I actually like ordering "unordinary" pizza from them now

Dunno if Domino's is comparable internationally (at least the sizes are smaller here in Germany), but I actually like ordering "unordinary" pizza from them now and then. Things any Italian would cringe at. They are cheap, deliver quick and have reasonable quality. It's just not at all Italian pizza.
Then again, from my experience it was hard to find true Italian pizza in the US.
Fun anecdote: When I was in NYC I walked into a corner pizza place in Little Italy that sold these giant slices to-go. I asked them if they also sold Tiramisu. To my utter surprise the 3 or 4 Italian Americans present didn't even know what Tiramisu is. That day I learned it was actually just invented around 1980 in Italy. Today it's one of the absolute favorite deserts in Germany and every Italian restaurant serves it and even many non-italian have it.

A useful keyword to look out for if you want something (similar to) Italian pizza in the US is a restaurant that's marketed as "wood fired" or "brick oven". This will pretty much always get you a Napoletana-style pizza, regardless of your current US regional specialties.
