Domino’s at My Door
I admit it. I’ve never, ever, had Domino’s pizza before. I consider myself a pizza aficionado, I’ve lived near Domino’s franchises several times, and yet I’ve never tried their pizza. I’m not sure how this happened, it certainly wasn’t intentional.
So, tonight, I rectified the situation. After a simple online order, Domino’s was at my door in less than 30 minutes with their trademark boxes. We took advantage of a special that included three small pizzas with one topping each, for four dollars each. We also took advanatage of ordering breadsticks, just because. For just over $20 including tip, we have dinner for two nights.
The breadsticks weren’t actually breadsticks, although my husband tells me they used to look like true breadsticks years ago. The breadsticks were actually a half a pizza dough, a semi-circle of baked dough that was an unappetizing yellow color. One bite explained the yellow hue; the breadsticks were buttersticks. They tasted like cheap pastry with a smattering of herbs on top. The marinara dipping sauce wasn’t much better. It was far too acidic and didn’t have a nice flavor.
The pizzas were a big improvement over the breadsticks. We ordered a pepperoni, a mushroom, and a feta. None of them were well endowed with toppings or cheese, and the texture was a bit oily/greasy, but overall, I enjoyed the pizzas. The crust was thick and bready, the pepperoni was just crispy and spicy enough, and the mushrooms added a fresh flavor. Unfortunately, I could barely discern the feta, although I could see small crumbles of it here and there on the pizza. I haven’t tried the pizza in its day-old state yet, but I worry about the oiliness after reheating.
Domino’s satisfied my pizza craving, but there are better pizza options out there. I can’t say Domino’s won’t be at my door again, though.
