Domino’s is one of the most widely recognized pizza delivery chains in the world. 

To get an idea of the overall nutrition of Domino’s, we can evaluate one slice of large cheese pizza, which is typically the base for all other pizzas. One hand tossed slice includes 290 calories, 11 grams of fat, 25 milligrams of cholesterol, and 640 milligrams of sodium.

The calories in a slice of cheese pizza make up about 15% of your daily recommended caloric intake. Americans should consume approximately 44 to 78 grams of fat per day, meaning Domino’s will provide about 14% to 25% of your daily-recommended intake, with just one slice. Healthy adults should not consume more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day, and one slice would include 8% of that value. Sodium makes the biggest impact, providing about 28% of your 2,300 milligram per day limit.

A diet that is high in sodium puts you at significant risk for conditions like high blood pressure, heart attack, or stroke. Indulging in more than one slice of Domino’s pizza frequently can easily cause obesity or cardiovascular related conditions.

It is important to note that these values do not include additional toppings like meat and veggies, which will also increase calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium. Likewise, these values do not include sides, dipping sauces, desserts, or beverages included with your meal. When consuming Domino’s, it is wise to indulge in only one or two pieces that have minimal toppings. Stay away from options that have a lot of meat toppings or extra cheese, as these will make the most impact.

Gluten is another ingredient found in traditional pizza that poses a risk to the body. Celiac disease, an auto-immune disorder centered around the gut, adversely affects the way the body absorbs and processes food. Other non-celiac gluten sensitivities may still occur, and severe cases may include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and fibromyalgia. Domino’s offers gluten-free pizza, and has the following disclaimer on their website:

 

“Domino's pizza made with a Gluten Free Crust is prepared in a common kitchen with the risk of gluten exposure. Therefore, Domino's DOES NOT recommend this pizza for customers with celiac disease. Customers with gluten sensitivities should exercise judgment in consuming this pizza.”

 

Dominos Pizza Dough ingredients 

Domino's Pizza base is made of ingredients like Wheat Flour, Water, Rapeseed Oil, Sugar, Salt, Stabiliser: E481, Whey Powder (Milk),Sunflower Oil, Bakery Enzyme, Antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid, Flour Treatment Agent: E920, Yeast.

Above the pizza all we have is a thick layer of cheese (really bad for weight watchers). The vegetable toppings are generally good for health.

 

The shock revelations were aired in BBC One's The Truth About Takeaways.

In Thursday's show, journalist Nikki Fox was trying to suss out what exactly takeaway food does to our bodies.

The research revolved around a "groundbreaking experiment with scientists at Liverpool John Moores University and Imperial College London".

Fifteen volunteers ate two takeaways every day for a fortnight - including fish and chips, pizza, Indian and Chinese meals.

When they weren't busy eating, the volunteers were undergoing a number of tests, to gauge blood sugar levels and body fat to gut bacteria, mental wellbeing and cognitive sharpness.

Participants found they were soon struggling with poor sleep, feeling sluggish and reported lacking motivation to carry out their normal, everyday tasks.

The impact of a takeaway-heavy diet also left the volunteers made the majority gain weight.

But viewers were left reeling to learn that a Domino's stuffed-crust pizza contains a whopping 1,900 calories.

That's vastly more than the 500 calories in a KFC snack box.

A portion of fish and chips contains 927 calories and 45g of fat, compared to 1,100 calories and 60g in a doner kebab from a high street takeaway.

A Big Mac and fries from McDonald's contains 780 calories and 39g of fat, considerably less than the 1,810 calories in a chicken korma, rice and naan.

Dr Ian Davies, nutritional science expert, who led the experiment, said that pizzas are the "worst" takeaway for your health.

 

11 Ways Pizza is Different in Italy vs America

First, there is the experience of eating pizza itself. Eating pizza in Italy is very different than eating pizza in American. Especially for Americans who primarily eat pizza at home, fresh out of a black, blue, or red delivery bad. There are 11 things Americans coming to Italy for the first time should know before eating pizza Napoletana.

1. Italians love wine, but with pizza they drink beer. Order “Una birra media” in Italy with pizza. 

2. One person, one pizza. That’s it. No small, medium, or large. Everyone gets their own. 

3. He who makes pizza is a Pizzaiolo. A good Pizzaiolo is a valued, respected, craftsman. 

4. In Italy an Enoteca Ristorante Pizzeria lives or dies by the quality of its pizza Margherita, the one true pizza. Just dough, tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil, and basil. That’s it. There are no toppings to hide behind. Always judge an Enoteca Ristorante Pizzeria by its pizza Margherita first, then move on to try other pizzas.

5. In Italy different pizzas all have names. Like Margherita or Diavola which is the closest thing to pepperoni pizza in Italy.

6. Don’t expect to pick and choose ingredients to personalize your pie. Don’t ask for substitutions. Order pizza by its proper name and respect the craft!

7. In Italy, pizza does not come pre-sliced. It needs to be tackled with a fork and knife.

8. Speaking of fork and knife, pizza is not eaten by hand in Italy. How rude! Kidding…

9. Using a fork and knife to eat pizza in Italy is necessary because the most famous type of pizza the Napoletana has a soft dough that is slick with sauce and cheese. Everything sort of melts together into a heavenly pillow of deliciousness. Eating pizza by hand in Italy is just too messy.

10. Even though pizza is revered it’s still the fast food of Italy because it’s quick and relatively cheap. A pizza made with high-quality ingredients, a beer, coffee, and a small desert runs around 8€ – 10€.

11. Most Italians don’t make pizza at home. It’s too cheap, good and easy in restaurants. Plus Italian home kitchens are typically not very big and their ovens are frequently tiny.

Most of what’s described here, is the experience of eating a pizza Napoletana arguably the most famous variety of Italian pizza. La pizza Napoletana which comes from… you guessed it, Napoli is so freakin’ good it’s protected by a Traditional Specialty Guaranteed (TSG) certification. That’s right it’s a certifiably good pizza! To top it all off in 2017 making pizza Napoletana was added to the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage! In other words, making pizza Napoletana is a culturally recognized art form in Italy. 

Which brings us to the next major difference between pizza in Italy vs America, how it’s made.

 

Americans and Kebab should never ever use our PIZZA name in their dishes as either are PIZZA.

 

Pizza requires to be cooked in very high temperatures and must be thin.

(Thick pizza is not pizza, it is bread with cheese. Americans created this type of pizza after the misery created by the first and second war, so the whole family could be fed by eating just one pizza.

 

Eating unhealthy food is the same or even worse than smoking cigarettes and if you do both definitely you will have very bad health consequences in later life span.

 

PIZZA never ever uses any type of sauce beside tomato sauce, never ever adds mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic sauce, mustard or barbecue sauce. I do not recommend people eat our pizza with barbecue sauce or garlic sauce as this sauce is not good for you but unfortunately I cannot stop people from eating.

I don’t recommend people to eat our fried side dish and cakes daily either as it is not our homemade dishes. (this not something I worry as we sells very small quantities as our daily customers buying the health option as their main dishes)

 

Zilli takeaway's main priority is to sell healthy dishes, the dishes my family and I eat daily, we don’t sell you food that you are the only people who eat it as they don’t eat what they are selling. 

 

People are free to buy where they want, this message is not to force people to buy from us, this message is to alert you about what you are eating.
