Er no we don't - Aussie fast food, truck food, street food etc is awful. Don't get me wrong Melbourne has some great high-end restaurants sure but these guys are all about the street stuff and we have... what? - Maccas, HJs(BK), Red Rooster, KFC, Subway, Dominos and then overpriced burger joints like Huxtaburger which is shit (America has waaaaay better burger places than Aus (plus they have Philly cheese steak, chopped cheese, BBQ, proper fried chicken etc) - then you have crappy fish-n-chip places in Aus that serve frozen crap (brits do FNCs properly) and awful pizza joints and sub par kebab places (again, brits do kebabs so much better) - the only good stuff we have is the Asian stuff in china town but every city has that so it's nothing special. Aussie fast food is crap.

Dominos Australia went through a Massive overhaul years back. They were technically loosing to the other chains at that time. They started catering to Aussie needs and upgrading the quality of their ingredients. Their marketing became better, They achieved the NO GREASE in the boxes, Deliveries were faster and More items in the menu. Also portion sizes and prices were cut and became affordable. Now they are the biggest pizza chain in Aust. Pizza Hut is Nothing, except for their wings.

[@The2ndFirst]

I don't know how it is now, but I worked for Dominoes Pizza inside as a manager trainee back in the 80s. The way we itemized the pizza over a stainless grate over a pull out stainless drawer where the excess ingredients would fall. The whole purpose of the "Extravagannza" was to clean out the drawers where we had all these excess ingredients because the pizza had literally every ingredient on the line on them. Some ingredients you could pick out like pepperoni, beef, sausage, and many veggies but once anything got olives on it, it was useless for anything but the extravagannza.

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

[@TySteve539]

It’s not a big deal. You’re all buying your own large pizza in Australia vs sharing a pizza if you’re in America

[@PiousMoltar]

As a Brit, I'd call that a medium. No idea how Australia can call that large 🤣

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

Its the reason usa is more overweight... not being rude just saying fact

[@whatdoiputhere1694]

Fun fact, if you go to an Dominos in , either New Zealand, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Japan, Germany, Luxembourg, Denmark or Taiwan you are actaully going to a Dominos Franchised from an Australian Company.

[@ahoorakia]

I worked 8 years for domino's the 14" after cooking comes out between 12.5" to 13" and if you take rims out the portion that has cheese and sauce is about 12" inch at the best considering the cheese and topping slide inward towards center 11" is the best you get, so with 14" you get 11" of cheese and topping and the rest is just bread next time just measure inside the 14" box it's between 13.5" or less also when you pay extra for double topping you only get 1.5 time more, not twice as much

[@The2ndFirst]

Can confirm. That's why it's called "Extra" and not "double". Though our code for extra cheese on the tickets we used to use on the boxes was "2C" inferring it was double.

[@SideHustleInspiration]

I never realized how different Domino's menus could be between the US and Australia. The portion sizes and exclusive items in each country are fascinating! Has anyone tried both versions? Which one do you prefer? I'd love to travel and taste the difference myself someday. Great comparison, really enjoyed the insights.

[@Notsosweetstevia]

Could you guys try to list the toppings for each of the exclusive pizzas if it isn’t stated out loud? It’s difficult to know what’s on some of these based on the name alone.

[@InsiderFood]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@Eckythump]

Yep. This is the reason to avoid Dominos in Australia. Out of all of the pizza chains Dominos pizzas are the smallest. They shrunk the sizes of their pizzas and raised their prices. Then their CEO wondered why they lost so much market share. The size of their pizzas is ironic since their advertisement used to be "more pizza for your dough".

[@multioptioned]

Yes, I'm sure the large in Australia used to be 12.5 inches. Then shrunk to 10 inches. Then boxes shrunk so it didn't look so bad.

[@DLFH]

Nice fun facts! Please do this more when possible.

[@MTGeomancer]

I prefer Pizza Hut myself, although I could be biased as it was the only pizza place in the town I grew up in, and once I was in high school I worked there for two and a half years. That job paid for a good chunk of my college degree in Electrical Engineering, and to be honest I actually enjoyed working there, but that has to do with who I worked with (small town, everyone knows everyone, most people are friendly). First time I had Dominos was in college, on Wednesdays they would deliver to the dorms for only $5 a pizza (medium). It was good too, but I still preferred The Hut, but at $9 for a medium (at the time) and a poor college student, Dominos it was.

Domino's Philly is a poor substitute to their legendary Steak Fanatic pie they made 20 years or so ago, it was DELICIOUS! it was like Steak, Onions and Swiss Cheese, and the Sauce was more a Beefy Gravy than an atypical Pizza Sauce. if i could travel back in time, i'd go back in time, just to taste that Legendary pie again.

I don't know if this is the case but i think that the pasta is something that you would order as a side dish not main and probably for when your doing a small gathering or party when you don't want to cook i guess.

I have to disagree w/ Joe on the pastas, sandwiches and chicken. While certainly not amazing, I can easily get down w/ a Philly/Italian/Buffalo sandwich, chicken alfredo/sausage & marinara pasta, or Classic Hot Buffalo chicken. Assuming they're fairly fresh (not up to an hour+ old in these videos) and I didn't have to pay full menu price (their regular 3+ items for $5.99/$6.99 ea. deal is kinda nice), that is!
