The Papa John 's near us got rid of their whole wheat crust. Apprently we were the only people ordering it. Pizza Hut's "The Natural" is yummy. We make pizza at home a lot now. I do like Domino's thin crust but agree...it is hard to limit to one slice! - 9/21/2009   6:06:37 PM

I like Domino's but wouldn't order pizza from there or from any chain, a healthier pizza can be prepared at home and is a safer bet for anyone watching their weight. - 8/31/2009   8:48:51 AM

Here you get a good discount at Domino's just now by handing in a Ciel water bottle cap (with the discount sticker on) when you make your purchase. I have quite a collection of them now and I don't eat Domino's Pizza (or know anyone who does). If anyone lives near or in Guadalajara and wants them all, just contact me! - 8/26/2009   9:55:52 PM

Their sandwiches are actually really good, and what a difference between most all and the Philly Cheesesteak one, that will be my choice from now on! Thanks for sharing! - 8/26/2009   8:05:45 PM

I almost always order the thin crust Hawaiin Feast from Dominos. It's my favorite, I love it! - 8/26/2009   2:32:17 PM

for pizza, take out your serving and then immediately stick the rest in the freezer. you could still technically overeat, but it'd take more effort than leaving it out on the counter! - 8/26/2009   12:04:08 PM

I appreciate this information - a lot. My hubby craves pizza about twice a month. This is a great "real world" application of incorporating healthier choices into daily life. As I am reatively new to SparkPeople, about 2 weeks, I thought this was a big help. - 8/25/2009   8:43:04 PM

LadyBug, you said it. I don't know anyone either who would eat just one slice. - 8/25/2009   5:16:42 PM

I put this in my favorites good info to have, thanks - 8/25/2009   2:35:32 PM

When I can order my own preferences (instead of bowing to the family's wishes LOL) I do the thin crust with ham, but order extra sauce and light cheese. Dominos has improved the taste of their pizza greatly in the past years. - 8/25/2009   1:26:31 PM

I worked at Domino's while I was pregnant and had to eat their food everyday, as they provided no lunch break. No wonder I gained 45 pounds! - 8/25/2009   11:12:43 AM

We do pizza about once every other month - not very often. I dunno - I've found that one REALLY GOOD slice (like a deep dish supreme or a nice big NY slice with pepperoni, onions, and olives) and a salad satisfies me. When I get the chain pizza, I can eat 3-4 slices and still feel unsatisfied. It's weird. - 8/25/2009   10:24:22 AM

I love vegie pizza, or a garlic chicken pizza that some places offer. Generally though I tend to stay away from pizza places very often. I prefer salads. - 8/25/2009   10:13:56 AM

My family LOVES Domino's. We probably order from there 2x/month. My hubby and I are both post-op gastric bypass, so eating the regular crust is just too filling for us, so we love the thin crust option. We get a medium pizza and split the toppings. We both love onions and green peppers. But on my half I get grilled chicken; on his half he usually gets sausage. I usually eat 3 slices; he usually eats 2. Prior to surgery, we prolly could have polished off a LARGE together!

For JIMACH, our Domino's slices the thin crust into squares, also. We figure that two squares is one slice.

For ARTISTBAAW and MDDR5657, Tanya has already reviewed both Papa John's and Pizza Hut. I don't know how to post the links on here, but you can search the Spark site for the reviews. - 8/25/2009   9:42:59 AM

During the summer, we order pizza from Domino's at least twice a month to feed family and friends for Saturday lunch. And, yes I eat only one piece. One piece can be a meal - it's very filling and satisfying. The taste is much better than store bought pizzas. For me it's all about the quality of my food - not volume. We typically top our pizza with chicken, green peppers and mushrooms... yummmmm! - 8/25/2009   8:24:57 AM

I don't know anyone who would only eat 1 slice. I know I couldn't! - 8/25/2009   7:50:31 AM

1 is too many & 1000 is not enough - 8/24/2009   8:32:20 PM

I love pizza,even stomboli( a folded pizza) awsome, but only in moderation right!
I could go for one right now but I won't I'll stick to my diet for now. - 8/24/2009   7:41:49 PM

Like others here, I love pizza and know that I wouldn't stop at one or two slices. So, I just don't order it.

My brother likes to say that pizza always comes in single serving sizes no matter what size you get. I finally managed to get it down to 3 servings per pizza, usually, but that still isn't good enough. The only way I'd get pizza now is by the slice. But given the fat and sodium counts, even then I wouldn't do it near a weight-in. @8~) - 8/24/2009   5:21:27 PM

These 1 slice medium pizza servings are really misleading...

Who can eat just one slice of medium pizza and be full? It's better to get a Kashi frozen pizza and cook it at home. 3 slices have as many Calories as 2 slices of Dominos (or any other chain pizza) plus some fiber from the whole grain crust.
- 8/24/2009   4:20:48 PM

I do not get pizza that much but i do not like domino's just nasty pizza !!!
i do like the thin crust pizza - 8/24/2009   3:12:20 PM

I very rarely eat take out pizza, but when I do, I order a thin crust and try to limit myself to just 2 slices.

I prefer to make my own pizza at home, using pita bread as the crust. That way I can control the toppings, and the pita bread makes a very good crust. - 8/24/2009   2:39:42 PM

When I order corporate pizza (instead of from our local SUPER vegan friendly place, Pizza Luce) I go Papa John's. Their red sauce and whole wheat crust are vegan and I load my pie up with tons and tons of veggies (and obviously no cheese) with extra sauce. Really delish and not bad pricewise. The Luce has more vegan options (mock duck! homemade cashew/tofu based "cheese"!) but can be a bit pricey.

Mmmm, Evelyn. Your idea for homemade pizza sounds great. I'll have to see if I can find a vegan English Muffin and do a veggie "pizza" that way sometime. :) - 8/24/2009   2:29:10 PM

I enjoy my toasted, high-fiber English muffins too much to crave my old pizza haunts . . . and it's been three years since I've binged on pizza-parlor style pizza. I top each muffin half with a spoon of spaghetti/marinara sauce, red onion, red pepper, mushroom, black olive, and slivered water chestnuts with a small garnish (oinch) of sharp cheddar and parmesan cheeses, and sprinkle of basil, oregano, and garlic and broil until heated through. Yum! Just add you own favorite veggies. And, for the meat lovers, a little thinly sliced meat can go a long way to making a very appealing and satisfying meal, while keeping the calorie count relatively low. I'm so glad we live in a time when making healthier choices seems to be getting easier. -- Evelyn - 8/24/2009   12:51:05 PM

The thin crust pizza is completely unfilling. You are better off getting original crust and having a couple slices than going hungry on thin crust or eating your fill of what is mostly high calorie cheese and toppings. - 8/24/2009   12:31:40 PM

If I'm going out for pizza, I will usually just get what I want. We don't eat out very often and every once in a while won't hurt...as long as you aren't making a habit of it!! - 8/24/2009   12:10:19 PM

How would you determine one slice with a Domino's thin pizza ? - our Domino's around here cuts their pizzas into square pieces.... Just curious! - 8/24/2009   12:09:17 PM

Y'know, I just can't tempt fate by trying to limit myself to 1-2 slices or 1/2 sandwich. I just don't go to those places (or order from them). It's awesome that Dominoe's has a calorie calculator doo-hickey, but for the money & temptation, I'll just make my own w/ a pre-made crust & some cooked chicken, light feta, veggies... Oh my, I'm getting hungry! ;-) - 8/24/2009   12:08:12 PM

A serving of veggies? From adding a veggie topping to your pizza? And only eating one or two slices? That's a pretty far stretch. - 8/24/2009   11:53:01 AM

I'd rather make my own then buy some plastic pizza made with junk in it. - 8/24/2009   10:55:17 AM

I don't do "corporate pizza," because it's all so inferior in quality to the mom & pops. We don't get pizza often enough for it to be a problem, thankfully.

My favorite is called "The Breath Mint" at one of the local places... it's basically a white pizza with lots of garlic! :D - 8/24/2009   10:18:01 AM

At these places you're better off skipping the crust entirely and building a salad from pizza (or sandwich) ingredients:

peppers, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes for the veggies
chicken breast for the meat
oil and vinegar on the side with salt and pepper.

Skip the pickled things and processed meats like ham and pepperoni - they're loaded with sodium. - 8/24/2009   10:13:28 AM

The most important aspects of a great pizza pie, the crust and the sauce, Domino's has neither. The crust is not crisp enough and the sauce is too sweet. They are in such a hurry to get the pie out the door it is usually under cooked. Then they think they are doing you a fav by steaming it in the bag while in transit (if you ordered it delivered) making for one sweet soggy mess. I tried Dominos 20 years ago and will never go back. - 8/24/2009   10:12:42 AM

We usually get a large hand tossed with ham and pepperoni. But lately I've been leaving off the pepperoni and can manage 2 slices depending on what else I had that day. I do like the thin crust as well, so we'll have to start doing that one more often.

I would like to see a review on Papa John's and Pizza Hut as well. Maybe Hungry Howie's, since that one is nearby to me also. - 8/24/2009   10:10:14 AM

Good aarticle I use to order a medium domino pizza and eat the whole thing. Now I order a pizza with mushrooms, green peppers and onions. I eat 2 pieces and freeze the other 6. this way I have pizza once a week and satisfies my need for pizza. - 8/24/2009   9:54:34 AM

Tanya, you're not playing fair today!!!LOL I I could do the Philly Cheesesteak combo or the VegiFeast, I like them alot. The problem is stopping at one slice! Thanks for the suggestions - 8/24/2009   9:51:52 AM

Would you please be so kind as to do a write-up for Pizza Hut?This is the chain my daughter and I order from.Thanks! - 8/24/2009   9:09:09 AM

I love pizza and could probably live off the stuff! But, I've made a change to what I order. I used to get the supreme on hand tossed crust, now I order my pizza on thin crust with ham and mushrooms. It still satisfies my crave for pizza without all the added calories. - 8/24/2009   8:57:42 AM

I love pizza is there an which allow you to eat more slices that don't drive your sodium through the roof. - 8/24/2009   8:01:02 AM

Great blog entry and I'm even more grateful that I can save it to my favorites! - 8/24/2009   7:57:13 AM

Could you check out Papa John's Pizza?
I feel like Dominos is too greasy as it always leaves an oil mark on the bottom of the box but Papa John's does not do that and does not seem greasy to me. I love pizza and try to make homemade preferably. - 8/24/2009   7:45:57 AM

Pizza, most defintely, is my absolute favorite food. MOST times I have a "veggie" pizza and sometimes I'll go for the pepperoni. I also ask for "extra sauce, easy cheese" not so much b/c of the calories/fat grams, but my personal preference.
Thanks for the info on this pizza outlet. - 8/24/2009   7:45:45 AM

Domino's is directly across the street from my husband's new office so it is inevitable that he (and I) will eat there occasionally. This is great to be armed with the information to make good choices. That is one of Sparkpeople's strengths! Thanks! - 8/24/2009   7:43:31 AM

I don't like pizza's, i prefer eating something else. - 8/24/2009   6:47:19 AM

Thank you so much for these tips. Though I usually do another chain for pizza, it's great to know that Domino's has my calorie calculator. Thanks again. - 8/24/2009   6:17:47 AM
