| - Decided to stay close to home and order a take-out pizza. Had heard good things about Dominic's from friends who have eaten there so I checked out their menu on-line. Found out that Monday and Tuesday is their pizza special day. For $6.99 you can get a one-topping, large pizza to go. Since it was Monday, I did.
I ordered my pizza with pepperoni. The large pizza is listed as 12 inches. Was told over the phone it would be 25 minutes but it actually only took 20. When I got it home I opened the box and saw that toppings covered nearly the entire pizza. I've become too used to getting pizza that has an inch and a half of edge crust that often gets uneaten and tossed. Not Dominic's. The pizza itself measured 11 1/2 inches, but there was only about a 3/8 inch edge crust that WASN'T topped, so that's more than acceptable. And the pizza lays on a piece of wax paper in the box, avoiding the cardboard taste that comes with it being plopped directly into the box.
Dominic's pizza is thin crust. A slight crunch to the bite, but soft inside. The sauce was applied liberally so you know it's there. I hate when some places seem like they apply it with a paint brush. One reason you buy pizza is for the sauce, so give me some! Speaking of which, the sauce is not overly spiced and has a nice tomatoey taste. That's the way I like it. Pepperoni was placed on top of the cheese and baked until almost crisp. Again, exactly how I like it. A little bit of grease, but not overly so. The only fault I could find is I would have appreciated more cheese.
A coupon on the box offers a buy 12, get one large one-topping pizza free. My advice is, if hungry for pizza on Monday and Tuesday, skip the $5.00-walk-in-always-ready pizza chains and go to Dominic's.
