The Domino™

A photo of a Detroit-style pan crust pizza with cheese and pepperoni, on a black table. It's messy but still delicious.

Domino's has a new personal size pizza! It's called The Domino, presumably 'cause it's kinda shaped a bit like a domino.

It's very good. Basically a much higher quality version of the Little Caesar's deep dish crust pizza, a bit smaller but much better. It's light and flaky despite the thick crust, and the overall balance is great.

I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

I also got some other pizzas, since the Domino's Mix & Match deal is kind of just too good to pass up if I'm going there already anyway. This was just a basic sausage and chicken pizza, simple but good.

Red Baron Crunch Time

I'm always curious when I see a new frozen pizza. This one was… interesting.

It's a basic pepperoni pizza, but it's mostly baked already, so you're just supposed to… put it in the microwave for five minutes. That doesn't seem like a good way to have a pizza like this, but hey I'm up for a 5-minute pizza, and I generally like Red Baron.

It's… fine.

It's not good. If I frequently desperately needed a pizza in 5 minutes I guess it's an okay option, but there are many better microwavable meals.

If you really want fast pizza, either have some pizza rolls or something, or wait 5 more minutes for a small toaster oven pizza, it's so much better.

Marco's - Full Moon deal

All menu-priced items are 50% off today at Marco's, so we tried some specialty pizzas.

The Margherita Magnifico is the first one we tried. It's pretty good, though far from the best margherita pizza I've had. The cheese was quite thick and the crust was very thin, and felt like overall the wrong ratio of things for a margherita, but it's still a good pizza.

Next is the Pepperoni Magnifico, which combines their standard pepperoni and Old World Pepperoni, with Romano and Parmesan cheeses added. It's a solid pizza, though it is quite greasy. Definitely a step up from a standard pepperoni, and while I don't think I'd typically pay the extra over their discounted 1-topping option, at 50% off it's great.

Last is the CheezyBread. It's okay. I feel like there's a wide range of cheese breadsticks at pizza places, and most of them are just… fine. It's not bad but it's just some thick pizza dough with a little bit of cheese on top. They include ranch and pizza sauce with the bread, so yeah.

Overall, while Marco's is typically more expensive than I'd consider "worth it", at 50% off for all menu-priced items, it's a great deal on great pizza.

Tombstone French Fry Crust - Garlic Parm

This one's a little different. It's a potato-based thin crust, cheese pizza from Tombstone. I like trying the more unique frozen pizzas, 'cause you never know what you'll really get.

This pizza's okay. I like that it's interesting and new, and it's worth trying once, but I don't expect I'll get another one. They have two other topping options on this same crust, and it's fine but I'd rather just have something else :P

Little Caesars - Pretzel Crust with Cheese Sauce

I ordered this pizza by mistake and I consider it's existence a mistake.

When I first took a bite, I thought the cheese was rancid, and the crust was under cooked.

I was right and wrong. It didn't dawn on me that anyone would consider it a good idea to put nacho cheese sauce as opposed to marinara on a pizza.

Dipping this pizza in marinara sauce didn't help either.

Little ceasars shouldn't be doing this. Little ceasars shouldn't be selling this.

If you want a pretzel crust, make sure you get the marinara one.

Bettergoods - Pepperoni and Ricotta Ultra Thin Crust Pizza

Following up from trying the pepperoni and bacon bettergoods pizza in April, I tried another of their pizzas. This one has an ultra thin crust, and a good amount of ricotta cheese. It's pretty good, though I definitely prefer the last one I had over this one.

If you like a simple thin-crust pizza with good cheese and a bit of a crunch, this is worth a try.

Maverik Supreme

This is really good. At $3.89 a slice, it's not a great deal, but it's a very good pizza. Definitely my favorite of the Maverik pizzas.

With olives, green peppers, sausage, and pepperoni it's a solid lineup, with a great overall flavor combination.
