The new New York style, thin crust pizza is legit! I'm actually shocked, but very happy about this!…read moreThe new commercial states that the NY pizza is for all those that hate Domino's pizza, which is me, and they are 100% correct!!!
I was born and lived in NJ for the first 40 years of my life, and since moving to Portland, have given up in good pizza. Many places around town claim to "be from NY" or make NY pizza, and they don't. With the exception of Apizza Scholls, their version of NY pizza has a crust that is too thick, plus has way too much crust around the edge, and is overly charred. Domino's finally got it right. Not perfect, but darn close!
Craving a slice, and after seeing the commercial, I placed an order for a cheese pizza with extra sauce. They brought the fresh, out of the oven pie to my car and it smelled fantastic. Rather than drive the 15 minutes home, I opened the box and had a slice right then and there, while it was piping hot. Everyone knows this is the best way to enjoy a slice. Hot, with melting, burn-the-roof-of-your-mouth cheese.
True to NY style, the sauce and cheese came almost to the edge, leaving just a 1/2 inch crust. Perfect. The entire point of pizza is the sauce, cheese and toppings, so covering the majority of the crust is key. The sauce was flavorful, the slightly smokey provolone cheese perfectly melted, and the slices large so you fold them in half to eat. Finally, after many, many years, a taste of home!
Even better, the cost for a 14" pie was $11.49. As it should be. Most pies around Portland start at $24.99 and increase with toppings. When my friends from the east visit, they are shocked at Portland's prices and lack of good pizza. And the ability to grab a slice anywhere, any time of the day or night. With Domino's NY pizza, I can do just that. Buy a pie, have a slice or two, and save the rest for the next day.
Can't even believe I am saying this as I write this review, but I'm a big fan. My grandparents are probably rolling over in their graves! At least I'm not saying that Olive Garden is legit Italian. That would kill them twice.
Domino's NY pizza is now my go-to for when that pizza craving hits. Next time, and there will definitely be a next time, I'll get half pepperoni.
