The Location
People like to trash on Domino's pizza. I do, too. The stuff is vile. At the same time, it's one of two things that I can get delivered to my door at 10PM. Also, if you get the right toppings it can be pretty tasty.
The Pizza
I ordered two pizzas, this time, for two reasons. First, I want to have some alternate pizzas to compare the BBQ chicken to. Second, they sucker you into it with an online coupon. It was just cheaper to get two mediums than one large. Anyway, I ate some of the other pizza (which had pepperoni and sausage) and found it to be pretty nasty. I do like the seasoned crust that Domino's started using a year or two ago. However, overall, piss poor showing. On the other hand, the BBQ chicken pizza (which I ordered with onions) turned out to be fairly tasty. So I will say that our delivery-inventing friends at Domino's lose points in the overall pizza quality...but that's only one part of the BBQ chicken evaluation process.
The Chicken
It's white meat and recognizable, which is a step above some places. It's frozen, though, and was obviously sliced in some kind of industrial process. It's factory chicken. It wasn't chewy, though, I will give it that.
The Sauce and the Taste
The sauce was used as the base of the pizza, which I will admit that I like. Unfortunately, it has a chemically sort of taste that gets in your nostrils. That's not...necessarily a bad thing. I think a lot of barbecue sauces taste like chemicals. Hell, they ARE chemicals. At the same time, Domino's is impressing no one with their sauce.
At the same time, I will say that something about this pizza really worked. I think it was the combination of the chemically sweet sauce, the naturally sweet onions and the garlic salt on the crust. For some reason, all those flavors worked really well together.
Overall
I can't tell you that this was a good pizza. You wouldn't believe me and I wouldn't believe myself. However, I also can't stand here and tell you I didn't enjoy eating this mass produced monstrosity. I did enjoy it. I fucking enjoyed it. There was something satisfying about my gooey, salty-sweet mess of protein and sugar. I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed that it arrived at my door. I give Domino's a C+.
