Want some bread with your pasta?
This is the new Domino's "Bread Bowl Pasta". Just in case you haven't had enough carbs today, this should do you in. John ordered a pizza (why from Dominos I haven't a clue, he says because he loves the online delivery service) so I had him order one of these so I could see it in person.
I worked at Pizza Hut many summers ago. To make a pizza, one would open a can of sauce, get the frozen crust out, pour two squirts of oil in the pan, pour two ladles of sauce in the crust, get out the frozen bag of cheeze (spelling error stays), put on X number of pepperoni slices (again, from bag) and put it into the machine-oven, that brought it cooked out of the other side. There wasn't a single fresh ingredient in the entire place. I think the healthiest option was the beer on tap served in pitchers.
This bread bowl isn't doing anyone any favors. It looks like the KFC 'Famous' bowl. Remember McRibs?

I believe it's Papa Johns that offers a combo meal of pizza, breadsticks and tomato sauce as a side, and breadsticks and chocolate sauce for dessert.
So did you eat it? It reminds me of a SNL sketch with a taco wrapped in a burrito, covered in guacamole, wrapped in pizza, deep fried, etc.
I bought one of these last week. I tried to order online where it was $1 off, but it insisted I order $12 worth of food. So I switched to the phone where they have the same rule but if they sense you're at least making an effort, they'll overlook the $12 threshold. Anyhoo: I have tried several of Domino's "new products" (my ordering-in is well documented) and I come to the same conclusion every time: They keep selling pizza in different shapes. The breadsticks are half a pizza crust cut into strips. Drizzle cinnamon and frosting on that and it's dessert. Their sandwich rolls? Reconfigured pizza crust. And this one? Well, it was really more of a pizza with pasta topping than a pasta dish.
The Buffalo wings are pretty good, though.
Oh, also, I got a real kick out of the plastic-wrapped plastic fork. I had an actual fork all ready to go, but they were very right to not ASSUME i owned a fork.
It's still sitting in the fridge. No takers.
That's so funny - I was craving one of these last week and almost ordered it delivered, but then I decided to go next door to Uptown pizza and have two of their chicken/veggies slices ($4 each!) and probably it'd be a tiny bit healthier and cheaper. So to you all, thanks for taking the plunge for the rest of us.
I'm speechless. OMG is all I can muster. People actually eat these things?
Somewhere in America, a test market convinced Domino's to go national with this shitshow. What town was it?
If it was the chicken one, I would try it.
