The UK‘s list would probably look similar if they had to break down all of their ingredients like over here in the US since it’s required by law. Wish that was mentioned in the videos but they probably don’t know.
Exactly.
The laws in America makes them break down each ingredient and list them by their scientific names.
yeah, if they could label ingredients by good sounding words they would but the law requires they use scientific names so people can easily look them up i think. all in the name of transparency.
@@aj897 True
Yep. 98% of the ingredients in the US food isn't even questionable, it just sounds weird because they use the scientific names of each chemical.
@@CrumCringle And a lot of it is basically derived FROM real plants/sources. Sounds chemical, is not really chemical. Want some ascorbic acid??? Eat an apple! Honestly...I'd rather get it from pizza!
Right, such as sodium nitrate which is in both pepperoni recipes. To lots of people, I’m sure it sounds like a scary chemical, when in reality, it’s just the curing salt that’s used to cure most meats.
The video mentioned the US has pasta but you can also get that in a bread bowl which is pretty good. Especially the Chicken Alfredo one
Bomb
Loaded with Calories
Seriously, the ingredient list as per usual people get wrong. The 'obsure chemicals' are just the scientific names of the plain and simple ingredients. I.e. the Enriched Flour has things like Thiamine and Riboflavin which are just the scientific name for different types of Vitamin B.
Exactly... thank you!
I find it weird that restaurants in a America has to list all the chemicals in an ingredient that's just vitamin A,B, or C
Exactly. The US requires, by law, all those ingredients to be broken down like that. The UK ingredient list would be virtually identical if they had the same measures in place when it comes to listing nutrition/ingredient information.
I know, I wish one reactor would bring this up.
But America bad
Dominos XL: 16 inches
Meanwhile every mom and pop pizza shop near me in NY has 24, 36, and 48 inch pizzas.
yeah i don't get why NY gets such big pizza, here in california it's not common but i know people would pay for it, yet no one tries to sell it. Might be something we don't know that creates that difference, lucky city folk :'(
Have plenty of those in CA too. Wouldn't eat at Domino's if someone else was paying!
Lol was coming to comment that. We get big pizza's here in NY.
Because it’s cheap and I love garlic so... yeah.
@@Adrian-qr6gk fr new york be slinging giantic greesy trash
The chocolate lava crunch cakes are sooo good like I don't even know how to explain how good they are
Explain
yeah, i said Pizza Hut on accident. long shoot day
I wonder if they notice u or not
Awesome blokes! I worked at night delivering pizza for Dominos in college and after for 5 years. The stories of nudity, drunkiness, robberies, car crashes, police interaction, drugs, wild frat parties are endless. One lady came into our shop very irate said "there's cochroaches in my pizza!". The manager looked at it and replied with care "ma'm those are black olives". She looked again: "sir, olives don't have legs".
Ah... the days when Domino's would guarantee delivery within 30 minutes or the pizza was free... and college fraternities would make orders at the same time, guaranteeing that some of the pizzas would be free because they couldn't possibly deliver all of those pizzas in 30 minutes.
The dude in the middle is my fav . Hes just chilling reacting to the video w/out pausing , and when it is paused he doesn't seem to mind and goes w the conversations from the other mates. Keep up the videos !
I randomly searched up the channel to watch an old video and saw the video said 1 minute ago 🤣🤣
The typical large pizza in the US for a real pizza place is 18-20 inches. Back in the day no one ever ordered anything but a large pie.
Why do you call them pies ?!
@@daveshaw7953 Apparently Italian immigrants called them pies when they came to the U.S. in the 1800s. Apparently they were easier to advertise as a Tomato Pie compared to a Pizza as no one knew what a pizza was. Disclaimer : This was from about a minute and a half of research.
@@Lenyeto that makes sense. I’ve always wondered. Thanks 🙏🏼
not really, it's 16-18". Although one of the local places here makes a 28"
@@daveshaw7953 Pizza pie, a common term
Here in N.J. if tell someone that Dominos makes good pizza, they'll tell you that you never had pizza.
The FDA regulations on listing ingredients are a bit more stringent than in the UK or the EU. Just about everything in the US dough list, aside from the vitamins added to the enriched flour (B1,B2,B3,B9, and Iron), which for some reason is pretty rare over there, is probably included in the premix at below UK required listing levels, with the exception of L-cysteine which is a non-essential amino acid (meaning your body makes it on its own) and is used as a dough conditioner and probably not used over there. Same goes for the cheese (UK doesn't even list that milk and whey and enzymes are necessary for making cheese).
I can't tell you when I last had a Domino's pizza. I've never enjoyed them. And they're on the pricey side for "formula" pizza. We have Little Caesar's here and they have the $5 Hot and Ready pizza. It's not a great pizza but for $5 and you're in a hurry to just grab something to eat, it's not terrible. I'm with Daz, though, if I want a pizza, I either 1., make it myself or 2., get it from a good local pizza place.
We recently discovered a bake-at-home pizza from Aldi that we really enjoy - $2.99! Leaves Dominos and Little Caesar's in the dust! And because it has a thick crust, it's filling.
Gotta share my pizza joke. Heard this more than 35 years ago and it's still good. Of course, the first time I heard it was on a bus trip home from Purdue University in Indiana after a 5 day conference in mid-July. Hot, exhausted, and very very hungry. One of the women I was with told this: I guy walks into a pizza joint and orders a pizza. After detailing everything he wants on it, the waitress asks, "Would you like that cut in 6 pieces or 8?" He thinks a moment and says, "Oh, SIX! I could never eat eight!"
Love the joke! And agree about Domino's, ick!
@@aj897 You talkin' ta me?? ;-) I just don't pay any attention to Domino's. The pizza is crap. and there are too many other opportunities for really good pizza.
How hard was it for Daz not to make a "Dave loves things that look like that icing" joke??
At all US Domino's they also have the 2 for $5.99 mix n match deal. You can get a medium pizza with 2 toppings, pasta bowl with 3 toppings, different chicken or Philly sandwiches, wings, chicken bites, etc. But yeah 2 med pizzas with 2 toppings for $12 is a great deal. Or any of the mix n match
In America, loads of money has been spent on the science of food. What combinations of things taste the best and keep people coming back for more. That's why we have so much stuff in our food and that's why our food tastes better.
My favorite pizza from American Domino’s is the Pacific Veggie, it has tomatoes, spinach, red peppers, onions, mushrooms as well as feta, provolone and mozzarella. I get it without olives.
Not at all a fan of bread knots. I do miss their old breadsticks.
To be honest the little mom and pop pizza places are usually much better then the big chain pizza places like Pizza hut and dominos. In the us we even have gas station and upper market pizza which is usually shit just like dominos and pizza hut
The "Mango Habanero" dipping sauce is crazy good with the Spinach and Feta stuffed cheese bread. Fills out the all the flavors you could ever want.
Daz def. loves his wing sauce! I grew up in Upstate New York, which is the Mecca of wings. Wings have been my favorite food since I first tried them at age 4. But ironically, there was an English style place named Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips, which had a location not far from my house and just happened to also have incredible wings. Almost every Friday night, my family would get pizza from various pizza shops and wings from Arthur Treacher's.
The Chocolate Lava Crunch Cake is literally the best thing ever. By far the best dessert item you could ever get in any pizza chain.
I tend to get pizza from the mom-and-pop places. A lot better type of pizza. Plus the one near me does NY-style pizza which I love. Not too easy to find here in California.
Always support your local.
yup! proper pizzeria pizza is the way to go
I'm in San Diego and we don't eat from chain restaurants either. Been going to the same mom & pop places around the city for 40 years. The quality is 100% better!
Local can be good or as generic ny style slop as possible, your really get thin barebones on cheese and toppins with ny style pizza
If you're in San Diego go to Napoleone's in National City. I've heard multiple east coast folk say it beats their best.
One thing to note about the American pizza chains is there is a single company somewhere in the country (around the midwest I think) that supplies all the cheese to every store of something like 3 or more chains like Dominoes, Pizza Hut and Papa Johns.
I don't get domino's, but when I get the Supreme Pizza, that is everything on it except anchovies.
Omfg, their garlic crust is so great.....
I'm not sure what it's like in the US but, just over 10 years ago here in Canada (or at least, Ontario), Domino's rebranded themselves as a more premium pizza place with better ingredients. Before that, they were sort of the cheap, just "ok" pizza that was fast and acceptable. Little caesars fills that spot now.
Legend has it Dave is still coughing up fur balls to this day 😂😂
Most of those extra ingredients are vitamins. BHA and BHT on the other hand allow you to keep foods frozen for longer without all that off-taste, they also allow you to keep foods refrigerated for a bit longer.
14 cents! You're killing me!
Man Daz is so quick. "What, 14 cents?". Also, the UK controlled the spice trade for centuries; bland as f*** over here. Genius.
You are all so handsome!! I’m Canadian and I was so happy that you loved the poutine ❤️😊
Dominos where I live is really good. I'm callin in one now, thx Blokes!
Yes in answer to your question, there is a lot more competition for Dominos in the US. Just within a 10 mile radius of my house alone there is 3 Dominos, 2 Papa Johns, 3 Pizza Huts, 1 Papa Murphys, 3 Little Ceasars, 5-6 local chain pizza places (more than one location per restaurant) and another 5-6 local single owned pizza shops.
Great vid lads👍🏾
I love the drownie lava cakes...minus the icing. Whenever I get Domino's I buy them. On Tuesdays you can get a large 2 or 3 toppings pizza for $7.99.
17:15 Daz, you seem like the last person in the World that I would imagine ordering a vegetarian pizza. I assumed you were joking at first. Interesting.
The hair was added to floss with. Thats also the reason tampons have strings.😁
BOOM, THE BLOKES
I started listening to your podcasts last night, anyone who's reading this should check it out
As soon as it got to price per inch, you just knew what was next. :-)
Those chocolate lava crunch cakes are so good.
“Enzymes!”😂
Man Id love to visit the UK one day
You Guys should try a real Chicago Italian Beef sandwich and Chicago Hot Dog!
16 inch used to be a large back in the day dang it!
21:50
I eat Subway (Scotland) maybe once a week, once a fortnight certainly and I ask for Marinara sauce on my sub every time and have never been refused.
The only time was a trainee who looked at the supervisor kinda perplexed and the supervisor just pointed them to the meatballs.
Hell yeah, Daz. I love veggie pizza. Too much grease in the meats.
was in the dominos business for a long time. A large pepperoni pizza INCLUDING the BOX cost 1 dollar and 6 cents to make. Sells for 13.99. the more toppings you order the less of each topping you will get. This is because of oven and cooking times. Ovens are usually around 550 degrees and takes 4 minutes to go through the oven. Cheese is the most expensive topping and even when you order Extra cheese, you are not getting much for that extra dollar. my advice, do not order from dominoes unless you just want something to fill up a party.
Here in America, people that really like pizza don't order Domino's.
True! Papa Johns is my go to if a franchise. But luckily, we have two killer mom and pop pizza joints that are fantastic
Bearcat haha what dont you like about it?
@Bearcat cappp
Speak for yourself. Pappa John's is my favorite, but Domino's has gotten really good with their crusts.
You order from your local pizza restaurant. They're the best. Anyone who orders from a commercial business doesn't know real pizza.
the FCC has the US has ingredients listed as their scientific names for example -asorbic acid is the scientific, name for Vitamin C ,L-cysteine is amino acid, some have the actually name in the scientific name like sodium stearoyl aka sodium aka salt ,Calcium Phosphate is Calcum, BTW I am a type 2 diabetic some I had to learn what all the scientific names are actually
Lol I think you mean the FDA
Good news for y'all, Popeyes annouced they are opening 350 restaurants in the UK! No more KFC trash!
The extra .5 inch diameter is most of the calorie difference. Dude I think she gave herself a waxing with your cheese before she gave you your pizza.
That small UK pizza looks about the same as a taco bell pizza hut drive thru pizza meal combo
And the best deal for an XL combination pizza of similar quality is the Costco in the US, just $10
I ate at Domino's once in the 80's. That was the last time. Not all pizza is created equal. Daz is right, why go to Domino's or any chain pizza place when we have tons of mom & pop pizza joints with great homemade pizza.
2 medium 2 topping pizzas are always 11.98 where I live.
Here in Australia a large pizza is now the size of a medium, and getting smaller! Large are only 10-11 inches,
The one thing that annoys me about this is the fact our small pizza is the same price as their extra large 😂
Supply and demand and competition, my friend. Domino's charges more over there because they can.
On a side note, when the pandemic hit here in 2020 and people were losing their businesses and jobs... many people around New York City (at least) started making and selling pizzas to make money and eventually opened up actual restaurants.
I get a large dominoes pizza once a week to share with family on football gamedays and stuff here in the USA. You can order an online only 3 topping large dominoes pizza for about $8.40 USD (that's with tax included). That's around 6.23 pounds.
From what I could find marinara sauce is called passata in the UK but I could be wrong
There is also a garlic butter sauce
Would love to see you guys react to some Tom Brady since I don't think you have yet. Joseph Vincent "Tom Brady Seven Rings" is an amazing watch. It's longer than what you guys usually react to but I promise people wouldn't mind... even if you did it in two parts! Thanks. :)
I'm not sure who would want to order Domino's anyway. But your story about hair is quite interesting because the dough conditioner L-Cysteine is an amino acid that is often extracted from human hair. Sounds delicious, right.
Having worked at a few pizza chains, I wanted to comment on price. A large meat lover pizza cost about 25 cents for ingredients.
its not the ingredients your paying for, its the workers. That's usually where the biggest price comes from
Pizza has the biggest profit margin in the food industry. It's pretty much known they are cheap to make.
Idk how it is in other country's but pretty much any pizza in the US is decent (usually lmao), but if you ever come to the US look up local pizzeria's you won't regret it.
we have Dominos here , I order from The Ramuntos Siclian Pizzeria
When yall come to Philadelphia, get to Tacconelli's for great pie. Peace out.
Australian dominos is quite good, especially the New Yorker range........mwah!!!!😋
I think the biggest travesty is that Dominos is from Detroit, yet they don't make a Detroit style pizza.
would you consider new york style pizza a sandwhich bread on two sides afte the fold with meat cheese and sauce in the middle
The smallest pizza in the us dominos offers is actually 6”.
Tuna and onion pizza is very common in Italy
bloody wish chips were £1.50 here...they gone up to £2.50 in my area of London for a small
As for the toppings you can get anything you want on a pizza here in the US I live in the US and I have had pizza with meatballs and red onions it is NOT excessive to Britain there is NOTHING that the UK has that US can't or doesn't have that is another strait out lie
I think y’all still have the old dominos pizza they changed ours years ago and it’s pretty damn good
Hahahaha...... proper pizza only comes from Connecticut down to Delaware..... every corner in Philadelphia has a pizza place and a bar.
A real Italian pizza has relatively few ingredients; you should make it yourselves.
For sure Italian pizza is great, i had some while i was in venice its way better then that gross generic ny style pizza all the local places sling
Papa John’s do pizza sauce as an option as well as buffalo sauce and special garlic which is the business. Our pizza chains aren’t up to much though agreed. Only use them for the deals and because the kids like them. Like Daz said you’re better off using the Italian restaurants for the best pizza.
America has so much pizza competition it is just unreal. Many Americans make their own pizza nowadays since it is healthier, you can make more and it is tastier.
Domino’s sucks here too! There are 50 pizza shops within 10 miles of my house. The mom and pop shops are infinitely better.
Dear god, a single hair that doesn't belong to me in my food makes me gag to the point of vomiting.🤢
Me an American watching you guys 👁 👄 👁
how did they not include the cinna stix? thats what the icing is for
Dominos does not make cinnastix anymore. They make cinnamon bread twists
Would love a MADtv Postal Workers Going Postal reaction. Cheers boys.
How did he leave out the cinnamon bread
The cinnamon bread is sooo good. That's what that icing is for.
Office Blokes "Authentically Rubbish" merch out now!!!!!
Jokes aside, I'd buy it.
Those are mostly vitamins.
Everyone says get “New York” pizza, but don’t realize that New York’s pizza is only as good as it is thanks to being next to New Jersey. Stop by any boardwalks, like Seaside, LBI, Wildwood, or Ocean City in Jersey and they’ll have some of the best pizza in the world. Not only on the Boardwalks, but also the Family Owned pizzerias all over the State. NJ is also the Diner Capital of the World, so the people there definitely know how to make food.
Funny because the best NY pizza places are actually outside of the city and several hours North of smelly ass Jersey. :P
@@liamengram6326 Sorry man, All the Smelly parts of Jersey are near NYC. And besides, Jersey has the best pizza cause of all the poor Italians who couldn’t afford to live in NY. My Dad is from NY, so I’ve had my fair share of pizzas there. They don’t hold a candle, but I respect the strong defense. Pizza is just pizza though, and all that matters is that each state’s is definitely somewhat unique
USDA regulations state that 1 mouse hair/Tbsp of flour is acceptable.
little caesars is the goat of the poor mans pizza lmao
You guys should do US Civil War over simplified
23:28 OMG Dave. I just feel pure empathy for you right now. When covid is over, come to Chicago and I'll take you out to get proper deep dish. Not that frozen shit.
Sweet corn and tuna. 😬😬😬😬
Sounds like Dominoes in America is a lot better than yours, but compared to alternates it’s not ordered unless you want something cheap. You guys really should make a trip here just to try pizzas.
Chicago style deep dish is my favorite, but I had a sour dough NY style once and that was incredible
You guys should have ordered a pie.
If it wasn´t for the US the UK would have no one to slag off when it came to food standards... I was in London and was surprised to find out that Brits put MAYONAISE in kebabs, and on top they leave out the healthy part... the salad...!!! I asked what types of dressings they had and the guy hilariously said "None mate"... 😂
Umm...They have the individual pizzas for kids on field trips. You get to make them yourself and they cook them for you. At least where I live that’s what we did...
well in italian menu is very much limited due to italian obsession with traditional pizza
It’s called passata sauce
what about a shepard's pie pizza?
The lava cakes are bomb. But that icing is absolutely disgusting! Nastiness. Like eat eating an already chewed up sticky chalk. Pizza hut gotem beat with them Hershey's brownies.
That happen to me, hair in pizza. I puke
