Domino's — Review by Daym Drops
Not specified, United States — Pizza
Daym Drops reviewed Domino's new Slice Sauce (ski sauce) paired with a 12-inch stuffed crust pizza. While the dipping sauce was exceptional and elevated the pepperoni slices, the crust quality and sausage greasiness were disappointing. The Slice Sauce alone is worth trying for pizza lovers.
What was great: The new Slice Sauce (ski sauce) was excellent - creamy, zesty, with garlic and parmesan flavors that elevated the pizza from a 3 to a 4. Paired particularly well with pepperoni.
What could improve: The stuffed crust was not crispy enough and fell apart easily in hand. The sausage topping was too greasy and didn't balance well with the sauce, bringing the rating down to 2.5. Wished the underbutt crust was crunchier to hold the pizza together.
The Dishes
The main order consisted of a 12-inch parm stuffed crust pizza with half pepperoni and half sausage, paired with a 20-ounce ginger drink. The star of the show was Domino's new Slice Sauce, marketed as their ski sauce for dipping. The sauce had a creamy ranch chipotle appearance with notes of garlic, creamy ranch, and parmesan - creating a zesty, well-balanced flavor profile.
When paired with the pepperoni slices, the sauce elevated the experience significantly, with Daym rating it as taking the pizza from a 3 up to a 4. The pepperoni and sauce combination was described as having an epic flavor that made dipping irresistible. However, when tried with the sausage topping, the experience deteriorated due to excessive grease on the meat, creating an imbalanced bite that actually lowered his rating to a 2.5.
The Experience
The review was conducted with casual commentary and humor, focusing primarily on the food quality. Daym struggled with the structural integrity of the pizza during the tasting, noting that the cheese-filled crust construction made the pizza fall apart in his hands. He expressed frustration with the non-crispy underbutt crust, explaining that a crunchier crust would help hold everything together better.
Value and Pricing
The total order came to 21.11 dollars including tax, with the 12-inch stuffed crust pizza and sausage priced at 16.98 dollars, and the 20-ounce ginger drink at 2.59 dollars. For a specialty pizza with the new sauce offering, the pricing was reasonable.
Notable Moments
That is really good. Zesty. Like these thumbnails and titles of videos always zesty. Cuz when you let Dominos ski in your mouth like this, theres a level of excitement behind that.
I wish the underbutt on a Dominos pizza was a little more crunchy. Its not. I think a crunchy underbutt really helps to hold things together.
The Verdict
The Slice Sauce is the clear winner of this review and is definitely worth trying if you enjoy pizza dipping sauces. Daym recommends ordering it with pepperoni rather than sausage for the best flavor balance. While Domino's stuffed crust itself leaves room for improvement in crispiness and structural integrity, the new sauce offering is genuinely exciting and elevates the overall pizza experience. This is best for pizza lovers looking to try a new, flavorful dipping option.
