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.

Seeing Dominoes as the standard for American pizza fills me with sadness and shame.

Yes, I know it’s only a shitpost, but still.

What do you mean expensive? A Margherita is usually around 7 euros

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

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.

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’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.

Domino's crust is always covered with a layer of nasty gritty powder, even if I tell them to not season the crust.

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

it's the cornmeal they use to keep it from sticking during prep

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 5 points 11 months ago

That's what they want you to think

Yeah that's not seasoning, that's corneal. Unless you mean the edges? Then that's their fake parmesan.

[–] macgyver@federation.red 5 points 11 months ago

Corn flour? Lol

[–] SkySyrup@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

it’s funny how seriously people are taking this lol. good shitpost

[–] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 months ago

I think the downvotes are from how obstinate I’m being. I clearly marked it with a /s

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Both the same price.

Proper Italian pizza - Just a like a mamma used to make

Dominos - 50% shareholder profit, 50 disappointment

[–] Basil@lemmings.world 9 points 11 months ago

I always forget how good a genuine pizza is until I have it again

[–] Littleborat@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

I will doxx you to the mafia!

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

American here, Dominoes is effing disgusting.

[–] marx2k@beehaw.org 2 points 11 months ago

Pretty sure that 30 minutes or less thing hasn't been a thing in forever

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I 100% unironically agree with this meme, and I worked in restaurants for years and ran one myself for a while.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 10 points 11 months ago

They didn't mention taste so I'll begrudgingly agree lol

As far as taste though, Authentic messy bush leaf pizza > Domino's any day lol

Please take pity on the Italians, they sent their best to America and now they are trying their best.
