![]() ![]() Photo: Dough conditioners give Domino’s pizza a weak, underdeveloped gluten structure. Photo: Domino’s Pizza offers several crust types, like this thin and chewy Brooklyn Style crust. If there’s any takeaway from this pricing it’s that there is no Domino’s pizza style that is a significant value over any other, which is good to know. Not surprisingly, the price is very standardized between $1.07 – $1.20, with the Handmade Pan, Brooklyn Style, and Gluten-Free being the most expensive, and the Hand Tossed and Crunchy Thin being the least expensive. Just for interest’s sake, I calculated the price of each pizza per square inch based on the largest pizza size offered for each crust style. Gluten Free Thin base, thin edges $1.20 $11.99 (10”) A thin, crispy crust that’s blander than other the styles, but still pretty good for a gluten free pizza. In my opinion, Brooklyn Style is the best Domino’s crust available. Brooklyn Style Thin base, raised edges $1.12 $17.99 (16”) Thin hand stretched crust with puffy edges, cut into six large triangles, meant to be folded and eaten. Crunchy underside, usually cut into square “party style” slices. Crunchy Thin Very thin crust $1.07 $14.99 (14”) Very thin crust with toppings spread edge to edge. Closest thing to a “regular” or “original” Domino’s crust. ![]() Hand Tossed Medium crust $1.07 $14.99 (14”) Dough is stretched to size by hand and has a garlic-oil seasoning blend brushed into the crust. Crust Type Quick Price/square inch Price Description Handmade Pan Thick crust $1.12 $13.49 (12”) Dough is pressed into a pan to create a thick crust, similar to Pizza Hut. The Gluten Free crust is actually pretty good for a gluten free crust, if a little dry. The Brooklyn style crust is somewhere in the middle-the base crust is quite thin and chewy while the outer edge is slightly raised. The Handmade Pan pizza has a thick crust similar to Pizza Hut, while the Crunchy Thin crust is designed to emulate Midwestern USA “party style” pizza cut into square slices. The “ Hand Tossed” pizza is probably the closest thing to a “regular” pizza crust that Domino’s offers with a thin to medium thickness. In Brief: As of 2023, Domino’s offers 5 different types of pizza crust in the US: Handmade Pan, Hand Tossed, Crunchy Thin, Brooklyn Style, and Gluten Free. So here’s the question-in an age of wood-fired, gourmet pizza and Neapolitan cooking, has Domino’s upped their game, or are they still offering the same sad crust I remember from the 1980s? What kinds of Domino’s Pizza Crust Types are even available? I guess I’ll just have to do a bit of research, order a few pizzas, and find out for myself. Whatever the case, for one reason or another, I’ve always just sort of tuned Domino’s out of my pizza consciousness. What’s the difference between Handmade Pan vs Hand Tossed? Maybe it’s the over-saturation of their marketing throughout the decades (remember the Noid?), or maybe it’s the fact that they don’t typically have sit-down locations in the US. Pizza Hut’s personal pan pepperoni pizza has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.īut Domino’s (arguably the biggest pizza chain in the world) has always been a relative mystery to me. I don’t mind eating fast-food pizza, in fact sometimes I actually enjoy it. ![]() The corresponding commercial is the YouTube clip above.As a self-proclaimed “pizza expert”, I’ve had the opportunity to try some of the best pizza in the world-from New York City to Naples, and beyond. And yes, there's mention of the hilarious Domino's Brooklyn Style Pizza website, which shows what Domino's (marketer's) idea of Brooklyn is. We’re really having a lot of fun with the culture.”Ĭrap, we know what's happening next - a pizza sandwich from Domino's! There's also a quote from Slice's Adam Kuban who tried the Domino's pizza last month and said it was good, with the "for a Domino's pizza" qualifier. “It’s a little different than the Manhattan-style personality. “Brooklyn has such a big personality,” she said. So why call it Brooklyn Style as opposed to, say, Staten Island Style? “They like floppy, large slices, and they fold them into almost a sandwich.”īut that’s no different from the way thousands of people in any of the other boroughs eat a slice. “We found that Brooklyners like to eat their pizza differently,” said Dana Harville, a spokeswoman for Domino’s. Reporter Kim Severson actually brought a Domino's pie into Totonno's, where owner Louise Ciminieri said, "Get that thing out of here." Heh! The article is great reading if you want to catch up on the hallmarks of chain-style pizza and what Totonno's uses ("unadulterated tomato sauce and thin slices of fresh mozzarella hand-pulled with just a little salt in it, and a dusting of pecorino-Romano cheese"), what goes into good pizzas, and like a mandatory Marty Markowitz quote. The NY Times covers the turf war between Domino's new Brooklyn Style Pizza and actual Brooklyn style pizza. ![]()
