Domino's Pizza or Pizza Hut? Which one you should pick while binging?
The Veg Extravaganza Cheese Burst Domino’s Pizza had an ample amount of toppings and the cheese flavor in the crust was delicious.
Why did we choose the vegetarian pizza by Domino’s as our Top Pick?
The Veg Extravaganza Cheese Burst Pizza by Domino’s Pizza is our Top Pick because of its appearance, the even cheese layer across the pizza base, and the mouthful of crunchy vegetables in each bite.
From the evenly cooked pizza to the colorful, generously spread vegetables, the Veg Extravaganza Cheese Burst Pizza looked MUCH more appetizing than its competition.
We chose the cheese burst crust for this category because it is a popular choice amongst a large section in India. The liquidy cheese oozing out in every bite spread uniformly across the buttery crust won us over.
All the vegetables had a crunchy bite and were evenly spread throughout the pizza. The olives and jalapeños were tasty and the cheese had cooked uniformly.
Our Kolkata panelist, Kaniska Chakraborty, rightly said that if you are paying for a pizza that is promising a cheese and vegetable extravaganza, then Domino’s comes closer to that claim.
All of these factors collectively helped to make the Veg Extravaganza Cheese Burst by Domino’s Pizza a more value for money option and our Top Pick.
Why Did Pizza Hut’s Veggie Supreme Stuffed Crust – Cheese Max Pizza Lag Behind?
In comparison to Domino’s, the Pizza Hut Veggie Supreme had fewer toppings, the stuffed crust wasn’t as cheesy and the stuffing was limited ONLY around the edges. Considering that this was priced higher than its Domino’s contender, we did not feel it was value for money. Our panelist from Mumbai, Kalyan Karmakar, pointed out that while Domino’s Pizza’s cheese burst pizza was tasty and meant for younger people, Pizza Hut’s stuffed crust was almost focaccia like and would be better liked by an older audience.
Top Pick (Best Margherita Pizza) – Pizza Hut
Pizza Hut – Margherita Pizza
A unanimous decision! Pizza Hut’s Margherita Pizza won throughout all cities in our review.
Why Pizza Hut’s Margherita Pizza is our Top Pick?
The Margherita by Pizza Hut exceeded the Domino’s Margherita by a HUGE margin and was chosen as our Top Pick unanimously. Across Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore, Pizza Hut’s Margherita tasted nice and looked far more appetizing than the one by Domino’s.
A Margherita Pizza in India typically only has three components – the base, the tomato sauce, and the cheese. It was essential for ALL three components to be spot on. The Pizza Hut Margherita had a beautifully baked brown crust that was buttery. Not only that, the tomato tang from the sauce was more prominent in the Pizza Hut Margherita.
Even though the Pizza Hut Margherita is more expensive than Domino’s, the overall experience of eating a plain-cheese pizza from this pizza delivery chain was far superior.
Why Did The Margherita By Domino’s Pizza Not Win?
Even though in no way, were both the pizzas anything close to what you expect out of a traditional Italian Margherita, the Domino’s Margherita was far behind the one by Pizza Hut. The cheese was extremely chewy, the base was dry and the sauce lacked the tomato flavor. Our Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore panelists all agreed with us that the sauce to base ratio, the cheese flavor, and the texture of the crust in Domino’s pizza missed the mark.
Top Pick (Best Non-Vegetarian Pizza) – Pizza Hut
Pizza Hut – Chicken Supreme Pizza
The Chicken Supreme Pizza by Pizza Hut looked appetising and had a more flavorful variety of chicken. A happy mouthful!
Why did we choose the non-vegetarian pizza by Pizza Hut as our Top Pick?
The Chicken Supreme Pizza by Pizza Hut is our Top Pick because it looked elegant, the toppings were not only bigger but more tasty and juicy as well.
The toppings included herbed chicken, schezwan chicken meatball, and chicken tikka which were all delicious individually. The chicken was not hard or dry and each topping was distinguishable – appearance and taste-wise. The base was not crumbly and sturdy enough to hold the toppings in place. The amount of cheese, sauce to base ratio was perfect.
The overall experience of eating a chicken pizza that has bits of flavorful chicken in every bite, Pizza Hut clearly won.
Why Did The Chicken Dominator by Domino’s Pizza Lag Behind?
Even though Domino’s Chicken Dominator pizza had more chicken toppings, they all tasted the same and had no distinguished flavors. The chicken pieces were dry in the Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bangalore pizzas. The chicken pieces in the Delhi pizzas were not dry, so at Mishry HQ, Domino’s Chicken Dominator was the preferred non-veg pizza. Our Editor-in-chief Tanu Ganguly found that the chicken pieces were much more flavorful in the Chicken Dominator by Domino’s. “Even though the Pizza Hut Chicken Supreme has bigger, chunkier pieces of meat, somehow they did not come together well with the base and the cheese,” she said.
Top Pick (Best Garlic Bread Sticks) – Domino’s Pizza Garlic Bread
Domino’s Pizza – Garlic Bread Sticks
The garlic bread by Domino’s Pizza had a more balanced seasoning, and the buttery bread won us over.
Why did we choose the Garlic Bread by Domino’s Pizza as our Top Pick?
Domino’s Garlic Bread Sticks won for the sheer butteriness and seasoning. Even without the dip, they tasted nice.
After getting cold, garlic bread from both brands had hardened and we could only taste the dough and no garlic. Yet, the Domino’s garlic bread had a little bit more flavor to it in comparison.
Although, Pizza Hut was not far behind.
The Domino’s garlic bread came in a box while the Pizza Hut garlic bread came in a paper bag. This lead to the bread ‘sweating’ and becoming a bit soggy upon delivery. Two of our panelists (Mumbai and Delhi) preferred the Pizza Hut garlic bread stix because of the zatar-like taste and how they did a fairly good job of maintaining the softness of the bread.
