Ordering a Basic Cheese and Corn Pizza at Domino’s

Advertisements make you fall in love at the first sight of a pizza bite. But if you are trying to grab a basic bite, you need to keep your thoughts plain and simple. Especially if it is a veg basic pizza that you are trying to order at the Domino’s counter.

When I decided to order a medium-sized Cheese and Corn pizza for the evening, I had this rich vision of golden corns and shredded cheese. The corns and the cheese are of course there when the pizza was served, but the visual factor was missing. And then I realized, maybe I was taking my expectations a little beyond. Here are some of the things that I should have kept in mind when ordering a basic pizza.

First: basic pizzas at Dominos are topped with mozzarella cheese

Not with molten cheese. You won’t find the cheese gooey out at the break of the crust when you bite away a chunk of the baked triangular base. Therefore, having a basic pizza at Domino’s for me is similar to having a pizza at Mio Amore the famous bakery shop in Kolkata.

Second: No ornamental tops

A capsicum and onion basic pizza, for instance, will have rings of capsicum and onion sprinkled on top. A Cheese and Corn pizza has golden corn layered top (cheese not so much visible). That’s it. You won’t find any sign of cheese until you take your first bite.

If you believe that visuals do matter for appetite stimulation, then going for the ‘Capsicum and Onion’ might be a good option. The rings of onions and capsicums to some extent will make your pizza look ornamental and appealing from the top. Even the taste is great when compared to ‘cheese and corn’ pizza. That’s because the capsicum lends the crunchiness while the onion brings a tinge of sweetness to the overall baked bread and cheese. The corn in this case, though it was supposed to add the crunchiness, fails to do so and lends instead a soft texture.

Review takeaways when ordering Cheese and Corn pizza

· Ask for lots of Herbal spices and red chilli flakes

That brings the added taste. ‘Corn and Cheese’ pizza does not have its own taste. It is only when the spices are added that you start noticing both the cheese and the corn.

Moreover, for an Indian, spices are an essential ingredient no matter what type of food you try out. Our taste buds are more accustomed to spicy food compared to people belonging to other continents. Hence, salt, black pepper, and green chilies are a must have on the side whenever we sit down to eat.

· Good to eat when served hot

Or else, it feels like nibbling away at an unbaked bread base. I would have preferred the base to be a bit more baked though.

Ideal Snacks

For the evening, especially if you prefer to keep it light and minimal.

Regular, Medium, or Large?

A medium sized pizza has a total of six slices. It is a pretty decent choice if there are three–six of you placing the order. A medium sized Cheese and Corn pizza will cost around 326 rupees. If you wish to order a large size then it would cost you around 500 Rupees. A large sized pizza at Domino’s come in eight slices.

In case of ‘Corn and Cheese’ pizza, going for one slice per person is enough. You can take add-ons to complement your evening snacks.
