What the heck is a Brooklyn style pizza?

Dominos just invented it to fool the publik. Right?!?

Not sure I can describe it accurately, but I've had several very good
pizzas in Brooklyn and they were a bit different than those in other
areas.

No, I'm sure there really is a Brooklyn style pizza, however what
Dominos produces won't even remotely resemble it.

Yes, but that's their natural state...

Growing up in Brooklyn (Canarsie), I take offense to that remark :-)
At any rate, my feeling about pizza was already posted in another
thread and, yes, IMO, the best pizza in the world comes out of
Brooklyn. If Domino's is able to match it, I don't know. I do know
that in some areas of the country, Domino's is the best pizza in town
:-( At least Domino's has Pizza Hut beat by the proverbial country
mile.

There are so many great Mom and Pop pizza parlors in and around Philly, I
have to drive a few towns away to pass a Dominos.

And, where I live, our local Pizza Hut is better than Dominos, IMO.

I was over my buddys house the first time I saw it. He is a Brooklyn
native and I have spent lots of time there. We agreed that we had never
heard of "Brooklyn style" pizza.

They do show a browned pizza which is an unusual concept for Dominos.
Maybe someone who works there had a pizza someplace in Brooklyn and it
was properly cooked and they decided its "Brooklyn style".

Two reasons:

A lot of people have never had a good pizza so they don't have a frame
of reference.

Wonderbread, sugary sauces and industrial food that always looks the
same every time are popular.

As far as I know there are only 2 Dominos in my area. I frequently pass
one of them and I don't know how they pay their bills because you never
see anyone carrying anything out and usually the counter kid is just
leaning in the counter. Meanwhile the Mon & Pop places are always bustling.

He wouldn't dare say that in Brooklyn, not unless he wanted a quick

Actually there is no such thing as Brooklyn pizza per se, because the
_only_ pizza comes out of Brooklyn, the only real pizza is Brooklyn
pizza, it's a given.... but the best of the best comes from L & B:

I tried Pizza Hut again just last week for the first time in 15 years
(a new one just opened nearby), their product is worse than I remember
it, much worse... anyway that is NOT pizza, no way, no how... a grease
laden cellulose sponge in its last throes of stove top wiping ready
for the trash is a much more accurate description... so much grease
ooozing out the bottom they gotta call that fried dough, no way was it
baked. Before going I printed out a coupon off their web site for two
large pies/$20... a ten mile trip so I figured I'd freeze one.
Calling those tiny frisbee sized disks Large in Brooklyn would get
yoose C-menta shooze. I managed to choke down most of one tiny slice
and tossed all the rest into my back yard for the critters... only the
crows (actually big black ******* greedy ravens) ate it... musta been
Brooklyn ravens because they know to properly fold a slice in half
before doing a grab n' snatch and flying off. I've tried Dominos too
(a very long time ago), more like an under toasted english muffin
slobbered with ketchup with little scabs of fake cheese.

I know it's not "real pizza", but I've always wondered how dominoes
managed to stay in business once Papa John's came into business. It's
so much better.

Even when I was still eating wheat-crust pizza, we refused to give one
cent to Domino's crackpot, dominionist owner and founder of "Ave Maria"
University & Law School. Maintaining a divine right for a Christian
USA, religionista Tom Monaghan opposes the separation of church and
state and has poured hundreds of millions into projects to further his
wacko extremist agenda. Eating Domino's pizza is very bad for your
First Amendment health.

I believe Monaghan sold his interest in Domino's back in 1998. I don't know that
there is any connection now. But the guy's evil deeds leave such a bad taste in
my mouth that I feel sick at the mere mention of Domino's.

Coors is an even more complex case. Even though Coors Brewing corporation has
tried to overcome their anti-*** image, their profits still flow to the very
anti-*** Coors family. You can't buy their product without implicitly funding
the anti-*** activities of the family. I suppose knowing this is going to make
some go right out and buy a case of their beer now.

In the '80s, I liked Pizza hut (at the height of the thick crust
craze). I had my favorite thin crust pizza parlor across town, but I
wasn't fond of those that were as close to me as Pizza Hut.... so when
the time came for fast and cheap, Pizza Hut won. I don't know if I've
eaten a Domino's pizza or not. I only know they are at the top of
their game because they give people what they want at a price they
don't object to.

Interestingly, Coor's at various times over the past few years has
advertised in the *** press, attempted to get their product into *** bars (a
VERY lucrative market)...they have been rebuffed at most every turn. The
vomitous stench of their right - wing shenanigans still haunts them...

Speaking of that lucrative *** likker market, IIRC the big *** bar Sidetrack
here in Chicago is the #1 seller of Absolut wodka in all the of the United
States...

Coors is definitely the lezbian beer of choice. Couldn't be a more
dykey sounding name for beer... the name Coors to my ears has always
had a southern redneck nasal twang for Cooze. I never even heard of
Coors until in the early '60s when I moved to the west coast, but even
to this day I've never tasted any, was always too embarrassed to order
a Cooze in pubic.

I've noticed the Coors Brewing product advertising also, and they have gone as
far as co-sponsoring events. They also offer domestic partner benefits. There's
a pretty decent description of their activities in the following document:

http://www.coorsjobs.com/diversity/COORSDIVrev1203.pdf (document page 23, pdf
page 26)

But they can't break the link with their anti-*** past as long as the Coors
family is tied with them. Unfortunately, that's something they don't have much
control over.

I find it interesting that the anti-*** right wing fringe has taken it upon
themselves to boycott Disney and Ford, but I've never heard of them attempting
that with Coors Brewing. If you just went by the company's *** supportive
activities, they should be in the same class as both Disney and Ford. I guess
the right wing must somehow believe Coors Brewing is one of their own, and they
don't dare offend the Coors family.

Anyway, another reason not to like L.L. Bean? But I just "love" all their warm

I began buying from LLBean more than fifty years ago. There was only
mail order then and all their products were made in the USA and were
excellent quality, and still USA made and excellent quality up until
about 20 years ago. That's when LL Bean began a rapid slide downhill
and they are continuing their slide into oblivion with most all their
garments. Only a very few clothing items are still USA made and
excellent quality, like their Bean boots. But the rest of their
clothing is hardly on par with Walmart fashions. But then again it's
the same way regardless the company, Eddie Bauer is no better. And
their sizing has definitely shrunk like about two sizes; not too long
ago I sent my brother a gift of six golf shirts from Bean. I even
checked with him if he still wore Med., said yes so that's what I
ordered. When it arrived it was much too small so he exchanged it for
large, still didn't fit so he exchanged the shirts for bath towels...
those are skimpily sized too but he didn't need to wear them.

Anyone notice how the size of computer chairs has gotten smaller, and
made of lousy materials, especially the base and wheels... office
furniture used to be generously proportioned, now unless you're
bulimic and splinter-assed you can barely squeeze into the seat. When
you read the specs they give the *outside* dimensions, but very few
give the actual seat size, which nowadays is like 19" X 19", maybe if
you're lucky 20". That is just too snug a space when folks are
sitting at a PC for many hours every day... and the seats aren't
padded very well, after about six months the foam cushioning goes flat
as a pancake and becomes hard as granite countertops... I actually
ordered a wheelchair cushion from Amazon.com for my chair... took me
all day searching to find one that was of good quality and not very
expensive (most from actual medical supply sites cost into the
hundreds of dollars for a quality cushion).

Been using this one more than six months now and is good as new,
excellent: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...891615-3667208

Everyone who has posted on thread swears that Dominos cannot make
pizza remotely similar to pizza found in Brooklyn. However, nobody has
tried the Brooklyn-style pizza from Dominos.

Yup, I agree. For those us who used to like LLBean and Lands End, where
do we shop now? Where does one go for all-cotton, reasonably stylish,
yet still classic, ordinary clothes, made in the USA?

One by one, every last American made product is vanishing. Years ago I used to
buy New Balance running shoes, because they were one of the last American made.
Levi Strauss moved everything out of the country. Even Red Wing shoes has
started, though maybe not with that brand name, but with other names they use.
The last bastion of American manufacturing is furniture and major appliances,
and even those categories are under attack. I thought refrigerators and washing
machines would be somewhat immune due to their large size and weight. Now that
Best Buy and others stores are cram packed with LG major appliances made in
South Korea, I can see the end is near! ;-)

To think my mother was upset when I took off the back cover of my Zenith
transistor radio in the mid 1960s. The transistors said "Japan" on them. If she
only knew what was coming!

Don't need to, industrial places like Dominos with their conveyer belt
air oven systems and Dow #602 red coatings can't make a quality pizza.

You should watch some of the slide shows on their main page:

http://www.americanapparel.net/

They should put a warning on the site, just like with some medications: "If you
have an erection lasting more than four hours..."

I stopped watching before I had to seek medical attention! ;-)

I can see what was meant on Wikipedia by the phrase: "sexually charged
advertisments".

Karen, watch your attributions, I did not write that infantially
constructed prose with its imbecile's obligatory superfluous comma...
that was scrawled by Andy, David, or Pete C.... someone messed things
up before you got there. That's what happens when the newbies don't
trim their posts.... and I don't care if someone has posted a week, a
month, a year, or ten years.... if they don't trim their posts and
especially the attributions to the least common denominator then they
are a NEWBIE! I just now neatened the attributions above to how they
should appear... I don't want to see any dates, addies, not even one
extra appostophe, and no old sig line, not even a name.... otherwise
you're a filthy dirty slob and no normal human being should ever want
to eat anthing you touched.
