Has anyone tried it? I'm thinking about ordering one tonight.

Whats the difference between the Brooklyn Style and the regular hand tossed or thin crust pizza from Dominos?

Edit: Normally I would go to a local joint, but I'm at my GF's house, and all the local joints here are nasty.

Buy it and find out. Don't think too much about Pizza, just dig in :D

(This thread is now about brands of toilet paper. Something you'll need plenty of after eating Dominos.)

Whatever it tastes like, it sure as hell doesn't taste like Brooklyn pizza.

I like it better than their normal pizza, but nowhere near as much as real New York pizza.

It's good, but whatever you do, do NOT get extra toppings (extra cheese and/or extra pepperoni)!! I had a coupon for a large pizza with unlimited toppings a few weeks ago and got one with extra cheese and extra pepperoni, and it was the greasiest pizza I've ever seen.
It was so bad that not even half a roll of paper towels could soak it up. Even the bottom of the pizza was soggy from the grease and the box was dripping.
I ended up calling them back and asked for another one with the regular amount of cheese and pepperoni and it was much better.

NY Times actually had an article about it (you need NYT Select, their paid service to access it):
http://select.nytimes.com/search/restri...res=F30C15F73A5B0C7B8CDDA80994DE404482

Article snippet:
----
Domino's, which began selling Brooklyn Style pies at its 5,100 United States stores last week, designed the pizza to mimic what most New Yorkers get when they go for a slice. The crust is stretched thinner than that of a standard Domino's pizza, and the cornmeal cooked into the crust gives it certain crispness. The pieces of pepperoni and wads of sausage the company suggests as toppings are freakishly large.

The slices are so big you can fold them, which, it seems, is the Brooklyn-y part.

Tony Muia, who runs A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour, said the first problem with the Domino's pie is that it's cut into six slices instead of eight.

I love Brooklyn's Grimaldi's pizza. Not sure what makes it that different from the rest of NY, but I love brick-oven pizzas with fresh mozzarella on a nice thin crust (that's crispy on the bottom, soft under the toppings). When I was in London, I had this wretched slice of pizza: the bread was crumbly (think corn bread) and the toppings were tasteless. But London made up for it with their Pizza Express chain, which has excellent single-serve pies in a oddly posh environment. I've never had Dominos/Pizza Hut pizza though.

Not much to add to what's already said; the brooklyn is usually made from "small" dough and stretched thin into a large/extra large pie shape. And that type of pie has its own pepperoni and sausage topping. Plus it's cut into 6 slices, instead of the normal 8.

Thin crust pies are premade, so the dough doesn't have to be stretched and shaped.

A large Brooklyn is made with a small (10") patty stretched out to large (14") size. An extra-large (16") is made with a medium (12") patty. It's hard to do this without a thin center, and the XL pepperoni is extremely greasy, which accounts for the pool-o-Crisco. The crust will be a bit floppy and a bit crispy, and I definitely prefer it to the regular hand-tossed, which does nothing for me. Keep in mind that, with less dough, you're getting less food for the same size pizza.

Half of the cheese is mozzarella, half is provolone. This gives it a richer flavor, more substantial texture, and, yes, a bit more grease.

Remember when you get it that the whole idea is for you to fold the slices. And don't forget the oregano. You can even ask them to put it on before it goes in the oven.

Grimaldi's has a grandfathered (they're illegal now) coal-burning brick oven, IIRC. Fresh mozarella, too. Wonderful sit-down pizza. FYI, Fascati, a few blocks up Henry Street has the best slice pizza, EVAR. :D

As for Domino's... gahhh!!! It's not pizza, it's Domino's. I feel dirty thinking about chain pizza trying to pass itself off as somehow authentic.

After eating a local pizzeria's pizza, I've never called back Pizza Hut, Domino's, or Papa John's.
