Superstores nationwide are scrapping their shitty cafés and turning them into diners. There you'll be able to buy 16" pizzas made to order and cooked there and then for you, all for a fiver.

Anyone in the know is aware that the 14" pizzas made to order to take home to cook are the tits and makes the idea of paying 390 quid for a dominos seem foolish at best, so the possibility of being able to walk round the store munching on one already cooked whilst you wait for your other pizza to be made is exciting.

Early reports suggest the quality is still amazing, but at the moment only a couple of stores in Coventry have it set up. So keep an eye open and report back with your findings lads.

Anyone had the calzone? I've not tried it yet. How do you get your 14" made? Will reveal mine later, got to start work now.

My only criticism of them is that they can be a bit big for normal ovens/trays etc - although this could be due to the fact that I usually have them cooked in a gas oven which is probably a bit of an anachronism.

I go Pepperoni, Peppers, Mushrooms, Red Onions, Garlic oil and probably on one of those thinner stonebaked bases.

The lack of an olive option is also a bit annoying.

Someone explain this to me? We don't have this concept in Sweden. Then again we have a funny pizza culture (to others).
It's like a pizza-place inside of a supermarket?

It's just basically the deli type counter where you you buy stuff like pies, cheese, ham, etc. They'll throw whatever stuff you want on a pizza base, cover it with cling film, and you whack it in the oven when you go home.

Yeah, pretty much. You turn up at a kind of deli thing and pick what you want on it then they make it up/wrap it and you take it home.

And it costs 5 quid? But is it any better than you know the frozen ones you can get for like 3 quid?

Also, is it worth not just going to a Pizza place and get a proper pizza for like 9 quid instead?

I find them far nicer than either of those. Yeah there's the extra cost associated with cooking it, but it's worth it for me.

Best pizza I've had.

I hate Asda for everything other than the pizza counter, I go all garlic with it. Sainsbury's one is alright, but the pizza dough is about 300% your weekly bread allowance.

Samadini
16-10-2015, 10:12 AM
Sainsburys have cooked in store for years but their topping selection is shit.

ASDA are the pizza kings. Bit of sweet talking will get you both garlic and chilli oil drizzled on, too.

Is the Tesco pizza counter any good? I usually just buy those frozen 'Sloppy Joe' pizzas we've talked about before if I'm in the mood for a pizza, but if their counter is up to scratch I think I'll get one tonight.

I bought a pizza last night from a normal takeaway pizza place. It was eight quid for a small (10") pizza with a few bits of salami, pepperoni, peppers and some chilli sauce. Rip-off. There must be such a ridiculous profit margin on pizza. Domino's is a ridiculously priced. It's not very nice either.

Benny
16-10-2015, 01:46 PM
Domino's a massive bag of shit, there used to be a great local place for pizza but I drove past the other week and it was closed down. A real shame, as it was one of the rare places that wasn't expensive and the pizza box didn't have a massive grease stain once you lifted the pizza off it.

leedsrevolution
16-10-2015, 02:03 PM
My local pizza take away is immense. 5 quid for 11 inch and no grease on the bottom of the box. I used to love the Asda ones but these guys have taken the crown for now.

igor_balis

I think Domino's pizzas are nice, but they are really expensive. I looked at their site on Tuesday, and even with the half-price deal it is still a rip-off.

Sam
16-10-2015, 02:44 PM
Not ventured yet as the nearest Asda to me is a solid bus ride away, and for that, I truly can't be bothered as at the bottom of my street is a fantastic joint. Top quality pizza, no grease, no skipping on the toppings and cheese, comes with some lovely wedges and chicken strips. Unbelievable value.

That said, my takeaway craving has been taken over by the homemade burger place a few doors up.

Dominos is one of those things (like Burger King) that is clearly awful but must have something in it that lies dormant in my brain for months on end before triggering a craving that can only be satisfied by over something overpriced that's made mostly from bread and salt.

I have pineapple on it too, because I'm a monster.

Did they make you leave the order and toss off for twenty minutes? Norwich Asda used to do that, but the Hull ones just let you queue. It gets violent during Friday/Saturday rush hour, but it's much quicker and better normally.

Asda pizzas, aren't they for common people? Not meant to sound rude, but I had one once when i was younger and the only good thing about it was the large size. The flavour was a bit off.

Marks and Spencer's eight quid ones are much better than Tesco Finest, so you're still getting the common option.

That's not comparing the same thing though. These Asda ones aren't in a freezer in a box, they make them up for you fresh to cook.

They come and give all the freshers vouchers at the Unis (well, at UEA at least) which captures the student market pretty well I think.

I agree with those who think Dominos tastes good, but I just looked and I can buy 5 of the superior Asda pizzas for the price of one large mighty meaty from Dominos.

The best thing about Dominos is that they now do a massive pot of the garlic dip. The worst thing about the pizzas themselves is that you need a shower after eating one slice for all the fucking semolina left on you.

John
16-10-2015, 06:36 PM

Obviously. Their toppings can be a bit wanky, I clocked one with butternut squash on it the other week, but stick to the proper toppings and they're great.

Good marketing will play a part in it, as it does for Budweiser, but I reckon they're staying afloat purely on that garlic and herb dip they do.

Making your own pizza is the real way forward. The dough can be a pain in the arse, but a decent bread machine sorts that. No need for any of that stone in the oven shite either, a conventional fan oven cranked up to 11 is more than hot enough to do a decent job.

You can pre-make the dough and freeze it, makes the prep much easier.

I'm very picky with Pizza, mind you, and will only really enjoy either homemade or proper stone-oven baked pizzas from these sort of deli-like hipstery italian places that have high bar stools, lounge music and serve too little wine in too big glasses.

Not saying all the places like that are necessarily nice. And they tend to charge a little too much (like, 13 quid?) for what is essentially still just a pizza. But, they do taste a lot better and after having had a few proper pizzas like that, you can't go back to any sort of greasy shit anymore.

It's the same with all these Gastro burger places. I wouldn't be able to touch a burger from McDonalds these days.

Nowt wrong with that like, but nowt wrong with saying more expensive poncey stuff is, well, better. Reverse snobbery can be as irritating as the orthodox kind.

It's more the fact that, while generally regarded as better, they're not 3x or 4x better as the price would suggest.

Your hatred of "hipsters" is actually quite funny. The burgers being produced in these places are light years ahead of anything McDonald's does. Seems strange just to hate something different that tastes great for no reason.

Giggles

I don't have to miss out though. Like I said above, my local does a great range of burgers without being full of insufferable cunts or the place being full of its own self importance.
It's out at the moment unfortunately as my day for going was Sunday and it's clashing every week with the 'Ireland' rugby games so it's packed with bandwagoners. They'll be out soon enough though hopefully.

For a chain restaurant, Vapiano actually does a pretty nice pizza. I went to the one in Gamla Stan opposite the T-bana.

Yeah Vapiano isn't half bad. Although that place definitely is a bit more surface than substance, so to say. The olive trees and basil plants and lounge music and shit makes the ambiance quite nice, but the Pizzas are nice but a tad overpriced (much like the beer).


I'm not sure what you mean by the top one, but I just don't like those stone baked Italian type pizza bases. The yanks can do pizza base but in this part of the world every restaurant feels the need to copy the stone baked kind and it's just not for me.

If it's one food the Americans can NOT do well, it's Pizza :cab:

They chuck shitloads of bad-quality cheese and these disgusting "pepperoni" slices (of something that I doubt has very much pig in it) on a spongy, too-thick bottom.

I find it almost inconceivable that someone could taste a stone-baked/wood-fired pizza and prefer a typical American oven-cooked one. Genuinely baffling.

Giggles

I find the base nicer on the American ones I had. You choose the toppings anyway so the base is the main factor for me. And I don't like the stone baked ones. How is that baffling? Do you want it in a different language or something?

The stone bases are too dry and tend to be too floury for me. Nearly a stale consistency. The ones I had in Italy were marginally better than Italian restaurants here, especially when I got a non tomato sauced one. But I'd still have the crisp kind of base the yanks do.

Foe

Are you implying there's multiple types of thin base?!

Mazuuurk
18-10-2015, 04:42 PM
Giggles I'm confused. I find the American kind of pizza to be thick, doughy, maybe even a tad soggy.

Whereas Stone-oven baked ones will generally be about as crispy as they come.

Giggles
18-10-2015, 04:51 PM
I got one thick doughy one in the States before in Chicago which was rank, but any other I had in southern states was about 5mm thick, minimal crust, and really light. The stone baked type seems more dry in a cotton-wool type way than dry in a crisp type way to me. I don't know if the doughs are different or if it's all down to the cooking.
The ones I had on Italy and Malta all had near 1½ inches of bare crust round the edge which is off putting enough.

One of the Asdas near me now does fresh popcorn. Has anybody else spied that in their local branch?

I have come to the conclusion that Morrisons shade it by being more generous with the tomato sauce. That has become a bit of an issue with my Asda, who seem to spend longer and longer covering the base with less and less, but it may well differ from shop to shop. Either way, we can at least be grateful for a viable alternative - something which the Sainsbury's ones are definitely not. They leave about two inches of crust around the topping, and they cost four quid. lol no thanks dickheads.

John

Tesco are very generous with the toppings but their base is a genuine disgrace. It's somehow both too crunchy and too chewy, and even on the one that purports not to be 'deep pan' it's about an inch thick.

£10 for 12" in my local takeaway. I'll be grabbing a couple later in the week, probably.

Picked up a 14" meat feast in there today :drool:

4 sterling is still good considering a Dominos is about 300 quid.

They're better than Dominos too.

Are Dominos really expensive there too? £18 a pizza here is an abomination.

They're like £7 for the same pizza in Australia. Fucking nuts.

Yeah it's brutal. There's usually a deal on but it's always on stuff you don't want anyway.

I remember the Mrs saying the same thing about it in Australia too. Her and her mates couldn't believe how cheap it was there in comparison.

Yeah there often is a deal but its still north of £20 for a pizza and the good sides. Pizza and pakora from the Indian is about half the price for the same quantity.

A Dominos is $8 over here, which is as much as they can possibly be worth.

Just to let the foreigners/wankers know, what Giggles has posted is a particularly - almost uniquely - poor example of what we've been talking about. How he's managed that is beyond me.

Next time I'm in the UK shopping in getting a few of them and freezing them. If the drawers are big enough.

Was the only 14" meat feast in the shop.

Even if there's normally more stuff on them, the base still makes it epic.

So much better than those shit Italian type ones that blowhards love telling us are the only proper pizzas.

Those bases :sick:

I prefer those Italian type bases to that ASDA sort but each to their own.

Those Italian Stone-baked ones are better I think as well, though I don't mind those frozen pizzas now and then either, just so long as you don't eat any ones that come with meat (because fuck knows what sort of meat that is).

That said, I do appreciate that the bases can sometimes get a little too thick and chewy on those. Quite a lot of places here that attempt it don't seem to pull it off properly. Pizza's supposed to be a bit sort of crispy, IMO.

Sod having that on your stomach at 1am. I once delved into cheddar and red Leicester at 1am. Mentalist. Anyway, the outcome was stomach pains galore for the next hour.

Back to pizzas, the last doninoes i had eas very good. Limited grease, maximum flavour. Better than a Tesco own.

Red Leicester is perhaps the best thing to come out of the UK ever, by the way.

Dominoes is better than a ASDA pizza, of course it is. There just fucking expensive so a cost to quality comparison don't add up. If you could pick a Dominoes for 4 quid everyone would pick one up over a fucking ASDA pizza, everyone.

My friend had a proper hissy fit because that's the only cheese I had In the fridge.

It's so much better than cheddar.

Orange cheese > yellow cheese. That's just common knowedge.

Mazuuurk

I don't really know any other orange cheeses, so so long as it's Red Leicester, that seems true.

That's not to say Cheddar isn't a piece of glorious food either, though.
