How come American pizza always looks like bad freezer pizza?
The problem is you think dominos is all “American pizza”. You’re the same type of person who thinks Budweiser is the only kind of beer that is sold in America.
If all you consume is garbage from corporations then that would explain your attitude.
Try exploring a bit you’d be amazed what you’ll find.
Idk if Domino's is the same in the US as it is here in Aus but they're like the best pizza chain we have. Pizza Hut are pretty shit, and Eagle Boys shut down a while ago I think. But I've never been really that disappointed with Domino's here.
Obviously actual pizza places are better, but I honestly dont think they're terrible
I'm so sorry for you guys.
I'm in one of the smaller state capitals in Australia, I have like 90 pizza places within delivery range, we have good pizza just shit chains, so it's not all bad
Whew! Having no decent pizza near you is a tragedy. I know, because there's only one good place within a half hour of here. We're surrounded by overpriced trash pizza and it hurts. It hurts bad, man!
Stop eating at corporate pizza chains and problem solved. Support your local businesses.
The thing is…
Cuz that's what it is
because people don't know what pizza is so they'll buy anything labeled Pizza so long as it has cheese, sauce and bread.
Most people don't even know the regional difference in styles of Pizza, if you ignore their inability to identify it in the first place.
You have New York Style, Deep Dish, Nebraska Style, Pan, St. Louis Style for instance. New York style is that giant pizza with a thin layer of sweet sauce, and you have to roll it a bit to eat it. Pugsely in the Bronx is the best in my opinion.
Deep Dish isn't "Chicago style", but similar in idea. It has a lot of care put into a thick-bowl like buttery crust, a layer of sauce, a layer of cheese and smothered in toppings. Again the sauce is sweet, but it's thicker, and has other flavorings added. You can find it all over, but the one i did like wasfrom Detroit.
St. Louis style is a thin crust, almost cracker like, buttery, with the thicker sauce found in Deep Dish Fortel's and of course Imo's shoutout here for you cardinal fans.
Pan style and Nebraska style are similar, but Pan is notable for having no notable features and no one way to describe it other than its what you get at Pizza Hut and Domino's.
Nebraska Style though is my favorite. It has a thicker, flakier buttery crust with a distinctively sweet sauce, thinner than St. Louis, but more flavored than New York. It often times swaps the Toppings underneath the cheese - this helps keep the toppings flavor (or so ive been told). Godfathers is a chain that does this well, otherwise Valentinos if you ever are so unlucky to end up in Nebraska for any given reason. It's a chain as well, but almost all the mom & pop pizzerias do it right.
Chicago Style is a casserole.
tl;dr: Because people stupid about pizza and buy things labeled pizza
I love that you were super smug and then contradicted yourself.
