I mean Taco Bell thought they had a chance in Mexico then failed twice. Big companies think they're on the same levels in terms of quality and even if they were nobody would go, I seriously don't understand how nobody was saying the concept of domino's in Italy doesn't seem profitable and just left it at that.
It’s SO weird. Dominos is our cheap pizza for college students not for the country who invented the real thing. Think of all the Italians who ordered but couldn’t eat it. Really. It’s embarrassing.
Same when I was in Germany, I haven‘t really noticed they had stores there. Dominos here just isn‘t something you deliberately walk into like McDonalds, KFC or Burger King.
Its always so heart warming to see a corporation fail to destroy the uniqueness of something as preserved as Italian pizza. American pizza should just stay in America.
Well... I'm not sure if that's the right mentality, since every food is catered to the people of said country. Technically, everyone is "butchering" each others cuisines.
Opening a Dominos in Italy is like opening a Taco Bell in Mexico or a Panda Express in China. It’s doomed to fail. They won’t be able to compete with the local cuisine because that niche has been taken.
_“It's as if I went to China and open a Chinese restaurant, It doesn't make sense”_ 100% agreed on this, why would they buy something they could make at home 10x better?
I still don’t get the fact that Italians despise pineapple on pizza that much. Like come on, I visited Naples the city where pizza originated and there they served pizza with french fries as topping… Which is much weirder and sounds disgusting
@@Dani-tk3wj Bro because that’s like dipping some ancient, delicious dumplings in big mac sauce or something lmao. Weird analogy but you get the point. It ruins the integrity of the food, and plus it’s disgusting. Fruits shouldn’t belong on food, that’s if you actually have taste buds.
I've been to Italy and had pizza there, not surprised that Domino's bit the dust. The several pizza's I had there were all done in a wood fired brick oven and can honestly say it was some of the best pizza I ever had.
Not to mention that after the pandemic hitz even the smallest Italian pizza places that NEVER delivered, now deliver even outside of their immediate zone. Domino's was convenient in 2017 when there was not much home delivery here. Nowadays a lot more places do it.
@@TheUnpred1cTable The reason it failed is because it brought the american version of pizza to a land that had their own, much better, original version of pizza, and they hated it. It's fine if you think the Italian pizza (no clue which/where you tasted it, so cant judge) is overrated and tasteless, just don't say it's because of national pride. Simply put its goo, "original" pizza vs knock-off
Remember when Starbucks thought they can one up the cafe culture in Australia? They ended up closing so many stores. Now there's around 17 for the whole continent that nobody care to visit.
Well starbucks opened in italy a couple of years ago (italy has a big coffe culture) but they adapted quickly and they sell italian coffee prepared in the american way. Also their forst shop (in piazza cordusio Milan) is a gorgeous coffee factory it's like willie wonka chocolate factory but for coffee and it has good had value
@@SiPakRubah Americans think the world revolve around them and everyone should unconsciously know what they know. I was being insulted once for not knowing what chipotle is since it never exists here.
HaHa! Reminds me of this little Mexican lady I used to work with. One of the nicest people I've ever met, but if anyone made the mistake of referring to Taco Bell as "Mexican food", she'd be ready to go bare knuckles. I still remember her ranting, "It's so stupid! Nobody in my family even knows what a Chimichanga is!!".
I love Dominos and usually I order it out of convenience. However, nothing makes me happier than to see it fail when compared to authentic Italian pizzerias.
If Domino’s had adapted to Italian ingredients and ways of making pizza, it could have worked. Trying to force American pizza on Italians? Doomed for failure! I’ve had pizza in Rome - it was phenomenal and leagues above American pizza.
On top of that, Domino's is not even close to being the best American pizza. Can we at least send a representation of the best American pizza to Italy to give American pizza a chance?
You can't just say Italian pizza is above American pizza bec even among different states in the U.S the pizza tastes different. So if you say Italian pizza is leagues above American pizza what state did you eat that pizza in and what establishment? Actually had an Italian say he liked NYC pizza from a certain establishment.
I've had pizza in Italy and I'm astounded that Dominoes opened there in the first place. That's like bringing our western sushi to Japan. It's just asking to be humiliated lmao.
“Western sushi” smh. Do you think Japan has magic rice and fish or something and we can’t have good sushi over here? Domino’s is “cheap” cafeteria like pizza. That’s why it failed.

As a marketing major, how did Domino's brand and advertising department entice people from a country where Pizza originated from to their stores? At least Taco Bell could have changed their ads to Tex-Mex fusion food rather than advertise their stuff as Mexican food and that could have worked, but Domino's really thought they were all that with extra sauce and they ended up losing money instead. So stupid.
@@SkylineGuy Yeah and come to my home of New York and order Chicago style. You didn't hear this from me but it isn't going to end well for you if you do
@@Techie1224 Yes , Don't you know that grocery stores or supermarkets exist or nah? Canadians thought Hawaiians put that in there pizza, just one ingredient coming from another place doesn't mean it belongs to that place
Domino tried opening a chain in a country where the people come after you for not using specific ingredients from specific regions for specific recipes? How else did they thing this was going to go?
You can't understand how painful it is when ppl call some sh** they cooked with the wrong ingredients: [insert authentic typical Italian dish] If you think it's the right thing to do, keep eating mac and cheese with velveta and bacon and maybe call it a carbonara.
Its like Olive Garden opening up in Italy and calling it Italian cuisine. Took my grandmother there when she visited and I thought she was about to curse out the entire staff with how she disgusted she was with the food
As an American I'm laughing extra hard at this! 🤣 My local Domino's always refuses my payment due to the bank I use which only does me a favor.. there's better quality pies out there people!
it wasn't the fact that Domioes opened, it was the fact that there menu just didn't change or agree with local tastes, mcdonalds realised this and offers a number of different options around the world , italians like crisp thin crusts stone cooked, but domino's just kept the same western menu, further to this local pizzerias were often cheaper and better quality than what was being delivered, maybe we see Domino's again, but they have to know there market than assume it will work,
Italians don't like crisp thin crusts? That's Roman pizza, Neapolitan pizza has a thick but fluffy and airy crust and a thin center. It's everything but crisp
When I was stationed in Italy, there were service members who wanted stuff like Dominos & Pizza Hut. They couldn’t grasp that they were in the Mecca of Pizzerias and thought watered down fake versions of authentic Italian cuisine was better tasting. BTW: Olive Garden isn’t authentic Italian cuisine either, but to each his own taste buds. 😆
I’m surprised Domino’s even opened in Italy in the first place. Domino’s Pizza in Italy is like if Panda Express went to China and opened up a whole bunch of take out joints. It wouldn’t last 5 minutes before it would get run out of town. The fact that Domino’s lasted this long in Italy is a miracle in itself 😂🤣
"Hawaiian Pizza"...lol! I'm born and raised in Hawaii and putting pineapple on pizza doesn't make it Hawaiian, that's just dumb! Can't compete with the Italians on pizza, especially if it's Dominos!
Face facts. Italian immigrants came to the US, discovered what it had to offer in terms of ingredients and went to town making Italian food ten thousand times better than what you get in Italy. Authentic Italian pizza is fast leaving the Italian market as more and more of their pizza restaurants serve American style pizza instead of the mess that is authentic.
@@arynrowland862 And it's not like they invented pizza. What they called pizza was nothing like what Americans did and people prefer American style over it so much that Italians now make American style pizza.
There is plenty of great American food, like BBQ, Coleslaw, Baked Beans, Country Fried chicken. Just not that plastic, tasteless GMO corporate garbage.
The smart businessman is the one who respects the culture of the people. Open a place in Italy to sell pizza, but make the recipe Italian and the chef is Italian..👌
I still remember the first time I tried "Chinese food" in the States. It was back in September 2002 in Columbus, OH. After the meal, they brought some small crackers which later I knew as "fortune cookies." I didn't know there was a piece of paper in it so I just put it in my mouth and chewed it. It was a mess. Who would have imagined that someone would put paper inside food?! That is gross? We in China never do that. No one knows what fortune cookie is. Don't make up stuff that has nothing to do with us and make a fake statement saying that it is our food. I am still upset although 20 years have passed.
Simply 100% of our food (but also that of the rest of the world) is better than American food, that’s it. We know how to welcome GOOD food from elsewhere.
If Domino’s wanted to open up a bunch of stores there, then they should’ve let the Italians operate the stores and let them have full control over what to put on their menu 🤷🏻♂️
I've tried fresh authentic italian pizzas before, and it's definitely better than domino's or pizzahut or any fast food pizza chains out there. I could eat like 5 slices of real Italian pizzas but couldn't even get to the 3rd slice of a fast food pizza.
Lol, The moment I visited Italy for the first time, and tasted Napoli dough. I looked for places in my country that do similar napoli dough. I surprised Dominos thought, it had a chance in Italy.
Imagine thinking you have a chance at beating Italians at making Italian food. That’s like opening Taco Bell’s in Mexico and expecting it to be super famous there. Or opening an Indian food spot in India. Like bruh.
i am Italian. to confirm this, i ordered a pizza from domino to my cousin as a joke and put there all kind of ingredients together. then i took a picture of that pizza and it has became viral on facebook.
If they actually thought they could rival Italian pizzerias by offering delivery, they need some changes in research department. About 95% of pizzerias offer free delivery.
What an unexpected surprise. A multinational company wich makes industrial pizzas had troubles in the nation where every small country town has at least one genuine pizzeria. 😮
I guess it’s location. Where I live it’s pretty good, better than Pizza Hut or little Caesar’s, there’s a local chain close to where I live that’s pretty good too though.
@@onesaucynougat7471 The pizza hut here use to be good but then it went down hill. Don't get me started on little Caesars 🤢. My cousin is a manager at Dominos so he could hook me up with free pizza, but he would order from a local pizza place down the street. We would chill in the store eating it and people would always ask us where we got it 😂
I mean I know taste is different to everyone and I'm not Italian myself. But I have a decent amount of family in Italy such as my grandparents so I go there a lot and often have pizza there, however, I still find Dominos delicious
Lmaoo that was always in the back of my mind. Especially when I learned Mexico has no Taco Bell . I’m glad the Italians and these countries stand up for their culture. It’s sounds kinda crazy. TBell in Mexico, dominos in italiaa.? Lol

It has nothing to do with that. It is because it is not authentic quisine. It is dogs**t american food.

As a marketing major, how did Domino's brand and advertising department entice people from a country where Pizza originated from to their stores? At least Taco Bell could have changed their ads to Tex-Mex fusion food rather than advertise their stuff as Mexican food and that could have worked, but Domino's really thought they were all that with extra sauce and they ended up losing money instead. So stupid.
Corporate America thinks they can top authentic Italian cuisine LoL I'm Italian American and would never eat Domino's 🤢
Brava 👏
You really typed 🤢 like its some kind of rotten product.
@@Aziz.500 it is
Fun fact: Hawaiian pizza is actually from Canada so it's Canadian pizza, it's just the creator thought this is what a Hawaiian pizza would look like
another fun fact: Italians despise pineapple pizza.
try going to Italy and try to order it and see what happens.
@@SkylineGuy Yeah and come to my home of New York and order Chicago style. You didn't hear this from me but it isn't going to end well for you if you do
as i know pineapples dont grow in canada 😂
@@Techie1224 Yes , Don't you know that grocery stores or supermarkets exist or nah?
Canadians thought Hawaiians put that in there pizza, just one ingredient coming from another place doesn't mean it belongs to that place
@@SkylineGuy That's why I have several Italian friends, we have a mutual dislike of pineapple on pizza.
I read the title of the video and *BURSTED INTO LAUGHTER*
"Mom, can we get Domino's on the way home?"
"No, we have pizza at home."
"Yay!"
Domino tried opening a chain in a country where the people come after you for not using specific ingredients from specific regions for specific recipes? How else did they thing this was going to go?
You can't understand how painful it is when ppl call some sh** they cooked with the wrong ingredients: [insert authentic typical Italian dish]
If you think it's the right thing to do, keep eating mac and cheese with velveta and bacon and maybe call it a carbonara.
@Emanuele Polisena it’s popular in Britain and Australia also American pizza isn’t bad but dominos is bad now
that's genuinely one of the funniest video titles i've read in quite a while
Not surprised, Mexico wouldn’t care if Taco Bell closed
@Oscar Universe Duh
There's no taco bells in Mexico.
@@Eayala17 yes because it wouldn’t make sense lol
And when Taco Bell did leave Mexico no one cared
@@NatT96Z I don't think it even started, they had planned to but ended backing out of it I think
as an italian i tell yall why this didnt work, because simply italian local pizzerias do free delivery too
hai detto tutto?
This puts a smile on my face. And I’m not even Italian
Its like Olive Garden opening up in Italy and calling it Italian cuisine. Took my grandmother there when she visited and I thought she was about to curse out the entire staff with how she disgusted she was with the food
As an American I'm laughing extra hard at this! 🤣
My local Domino's always refuses my payment due to the bank I use which only does me a favor.. there's better quality pies out there people!
Who in their right mind had the idea to sell Domino’s fast food pizza in Italy??? 🙈 Italian pizza is the real pizza! 🇮🇹🍕
it wasn't the fact that Domioes opened, it was the fact that there menu just didn't change or agree with local tastes, mcdonalds realised this and offers a number of different options around the world , italians like crisp thin crusts stone cooked, but domino's just kept the same western menu, further to this local pizzerias were often cheaper and better quality than what was being delivered, maybe we see Domino's again, but they have to know there market than assume it will work,
I am also thinking the same thing.
You would have to change everything. The crust, everything
Italians don't like crisp thin crusts? That's Roman pizza, Neapolitan pizza has a thick but fluffy and airy crust and a thin center. It's everything but crisp
Dominos have a different pizza menu in India for sure. Lots of veg offerings, no beefs, etc. I am sure they would have done in Italy too.
When I was stationed in Italy, there were service members who wanted stuff like Dominos & Pizza Hut. They couldn’t grasp that they were in the Mecca of Pizzerias and thought watered down fake versions of authentic Italian cuisine was better tasting. BTW: Olive Garden isn’t authentic Italian cuisine either, but to each his own taste buds. 😆
I wonder how the Italian olive garden is doing lol 😂 the Chewbacca defense "it does not make sense!"
Chewbacca defense?😂
the AUDACITYYY. Imagine the conference room full of domino’s executives really thinking they were onto something with that idea💀💀
Has to be one of the worst business ideas I've ever heard , domino's in Italy 🤣
1:14 that's not how the Italians would say "Arrivederci" 💀
That's like serving up egg noodles with ketchup, and calling it spaghetti.
Why would someone in Italy even consider buying a pizza from Domino’s. i tasted the Real Deal Pizzas in Italy, The quality is just worlds apart.
I’m an American and the best pizza I’ve ever had was in a little restaurant in Rome, Italy. Delicious!
or as the italians would say "A mai più rivederci"
I’m surprised Domino’s even opened in Italy in the first place. Domino’s Pizza in Italy is like if Panda Express went to China and opened up a whole bunch of take out joints. It wouldn’t last 5 minutes before it would get run out of town. The fact that Domino’s lasted this long in Italy is a miracle in itself 😂🤣
Italians don’t consider that pizza
This remembers me of taco bell. "Taco" bell doesn't even sell tacos, they're more like quesadillas or tostadas. 😂
Who is the genius who thought Domino even had a chance in Italy ?
LOL that's like opening a Papa Johns in New Jersey.
"Hawaiian Pizza"...lol! I'm born and raised in Hawaii and putting pineapple on pizza doesn't make it Hawaiian, that's just dumb! Can't compete with the Italians on pizza, especially if it's Dominos!
True, I think Hawaiian was invented in Canada so the name doesn’t even make sense lol
That domino’s pizza in Italy, looks better than any pizza I tried in my entire life 🤧
That pizza at 0:05 looks actually better than Dominos! ☺️
Boy that "arrivederci" was butchered SO hard.
Domino's was never going to work out in Italy. That is not true Italian pizza. You need to explore Italy to find authentic Italian pizza.
Italian Pizza sucks.
@@flickshotgirl tbh yeah
Face facts. Italian immigrants came to the US, discovered what it had to offer in terms of ingredients and went to town making Italian food ten thousand times better than what you get in Italy. Authentic Italian pizza is fast leaving the Italian market as more and more of their pizza restaurants serve American style pizza instead of the mess that is authentic.
@@nobodyspecial4702 not true at all… did you ever go to Italy? Dont think so.
@@grigorirasputin7165 Don't think, you aren't very good at it.
The fact that it even entered that market 😂
its like when gordon ramasay tried making pad thai in thailand but changing the recipe and got rekt by the thai chef 😆
I don't think Italians need to make their pizza out of chemicals either since their food is already food
Right, because processed food certainly doesn’t exist in Italy…
@@arynrowland862 And it's not like they invented pizza. What they called pizza was nothing like what Americans did and people prefer American style over it so much that Italians now make American style pizza.
@@arynrowland862 certainly cant be worse than america
@@CoasterCoat its probably as bad
@Voldemortadella Lol, nobody said it was. No need to get so defensive.
The only type restaurants we could open in other countries is probably burger joints😭
There is plenty of great American food, like BBQ, Coleslaw, Baked Beans, Country Fried chicken. Just not that plastic, tasteless GMO corporate garbage.
I love it when you can't tell without looking at the channel whether it's parody news or real news
The smart businessman is the one who respects the culture of the people. Open a place in Italy to sell pizza, but make the recipe Italian and the chef is Italian..👌
Spoken like a true Italian
@@paddington1670 non proprio
Italy staying true. Domino’s is good, but you can't beat authenticity. 🇮🇹👨🍳🤌🍕
Like hell you can't. I challenge you to find authentic Italian food that comes remotely close to Italian American food.
Dominos is awful lol
Dominoes is awful...
domingos is aweful
Domino is absolutely terrible compared to our pizzerias (I am Italian)
I ain’t surprised bro classic Italian pizza is so much better and more authentic
I still remember the first time I tried "Chinese food" in the States. It was back in September 2002 in Columbus, OH. After the meal, they brought some small crackers which later I knew as "fortune cookies." I didn't know there was a piece of paper in it so I just put it in my mouth and chewed it. It was a mess. Who would have imagined that someone would put paper inside food?! That is gross? We in China never do that. No one knows what fortune cookie is. Don't make up stuff that has nothing to do with us and make a fake statement saying that it is our food. I am still upset although 20 years have passed.
wth?
Well if you didn’t know.. America wants to own the world.
@@servalenci thought that was china's goal?
@@rohncarver3585 You thought wrong apparently
You know what's gross? Authentic Chinese food. Been there, tried it, will pass.
as an Italian dominos has balls to try that lol 😂
This is why I love and respect Italy. So much integrity.
Simply 100% of our food (but also that of the rest of the world) is better than American food, that’s it. We know how to welcome GOOD food from elsewhere.
If Domino's closed in America, Americans wouldn't care either.
facts.
I rarely even eat dominos.
Th only fast food pizza I eat is little ceasers and jets
Little Caesars is basically going out of business. Americans would definitely care if Dominoes was closing in the US.
I mean it’s one of the most successful chain pizza restaurants here so I don’t really think nobody would care lmao
@@onesaucynougat7471 domino has the worst pizza, only reason to buy from them is if there's no other sellers in the area.
The pepperoni has never not been burnt. It tastes like charcoal.
If Domino’s wanted to open up a bunch of stores there, then they should’ve let the Italians operate the stores and let them have full control over what to put on their menu 🤷🏻♂️
Even Italian agreed that Pineapples don't belong to Pizzas
I've tried fresh authentic italian pizzas before, and it's definitely better than domino's or pizzahut or any fast food pizza chains out there. I could eat like 5 slices of real Italian pizzas but couldn't even get to the 3rd slice of a fast food pizza.
you must eat all 6 🤷♂️
It needs quite some nerve to think Domino could ever conquer the country of the inventors of pizza!😳🤪
The looks that were given when folks seen their people walking into Domino's 😄
I guess they don't want a box in their pizza either, can't blame them
Lol, The moment I visited Italy for the first time, and tasted Napoli dough. I looked for places in my country that do similar napoli dough. I surprised Dominos thought, it had a chance in Italy.
Opening dominos in italy is like selling ac in antartica
Imagine thinking you have a chance at beating Italians at making Italian food. That’s like opening Taco Bell’s in Mexico and expecting it to be super famous there. Or opening an Indian food spot in India. Like bruh.
i am Italian. to confirm this, i ordered a pizza from domino to my cousin as a joke and put there all kind of ingredients together. then i took a picture of that pizza and it has became viral on facebook.
I cant believe they thought it was a good idea to go there.
As an Italian, finally a good news.
When I told my mother this news she replied:
We had Dominos in Italy?
Meh I am not suprised they failed
If they actually thought they could rival Italian pizzerias by offering delivery, they need some changes in research department. About 95% of pizzerias offer free delivery.
in my experience the delivery is very cheap, but not free
@@mattmark94 what in Italy from a regular pizzeria? I live in Rimini and it's 100% free, obviously I always leave a tip
What an unexpected surprise.
A multinational company wich makes industrial pizzas had troubles in the nation where every small country town has at least one genuine pizzeria. 😮
Imagine trying to sell bad pizza in a state where there Is literally a pizzeria in every small city and where pizza comes from🤷
Lmao imagine visiting ITALY and getting pizza from Domino’s.. what a travesty
You can’t beat the classics of
Italian pizzas
Please, stop putting pineapple on a pizza and call it “Hawaiian”. - Hawai’i resident
honestly, wouldn't "Canadian pizza" be a more reasonable name?
Domino's pizza is terrible here in the USA. I can imagine how pathetic it must of looked in Italy
Domino’s is fine at least in Ny
@@nightrunner7870 I live in NY...
@@Righteous_Destiny lmao
I guess it’s location. Where I live it’s pretty good, better than Pizza Hut or little Caesar’s, there’s a local chain close to where I live that’s pretty good too though.
@@onesaucynougat7471 The pizza hut here use to be good but then it went down hill. Don't get me started on little Caesars 🤢. My cousin is a manager at Dominos so he could hook me up with free pizza, but he would order from a local pizza place down the street. We would chill in the store eating it and people would always ask us where we got it 😂
It’s like Taco Bell trying to one up Mexican tacos lol
My friend Stefano is from Italy. When he first came to America he tried dominoes, and said it was one of the best pizzas he ever had.
I think he needs to be deported then
I mean I know taste is different to everyone and I'm not Italian myself. But I have a decent amount of family in Italy such as my grandparents so I go there a lot and often have pizza there, however, I still find Dominos delicious
That "arrivederci" sounded more like "eaweauadeawshea"....close enough, i guess
Lmaoo that was always in the back of my mind. Especially when I learned Mexico has no Taco Bell . I’m glad the Italians and these countries stand up for their culture. It’s sounds kinda crazy. TBell in Mexico, dominos in italiaa.? Lol
No one thinks McDonald’s is bad because McDonald’s gave other countries more food
