cedros Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Several residents of Chapala have told me that they heard Dominos was opening in Chapala. Does anyone know anything about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I don't know if it would be good or bad. I've never had a Domino's pizza. There seem to be quite a few small pizza places in Chapala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEliot Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 They are located next to Walmart but they deliver to Chapala in 30 minutes. They have been here for years -- Most of their customers are Mexicans. They provide jobs to many locals. Once you order they capture your phone number on their caller ID so the next time you call they know where to deliver. Always fresh ingredients. Truly a well run operation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yeah, you are right! We already have a Domino's in the area that serves to Chapala, sounds like we need a Pizza Hut in Chapala! Usually I am all about the small businesses, but in my opinion the small pizzerias here in Chapala are nothing to brag about. I've had great pizza here in Mexico from family owned pizzerias that was awesome, but not here in Chapala, unfortunately. If a small pizzeria were to open up in Chapala serving quality ingredients with a delicious original recipe, I would definitely support them.

lcscats Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Its the crust and I can only find Costco pizza crust which taste right to me. Others may and will disagree with me. Talking pizza is like talking religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Domino's pizza tastes good, but everytime I eat it I feel like I'm committing a mortal sin against my body. Usually, among family, when we want pizza, we go the frozen route, by buying those delicious Red Baron cheese pizzas at Walmart, when in stock, and doctoring them up with what ever cool toppings we have at hand. Fresh sliced mushrooms, crushed garlic, olives, hamburger, you name it. Then you almost feel like a real chef doing it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 dichosalocura I do the same except I also add anchovies and onion. Walmart has been out of them for a week. They are very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned small Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Perry's pizza is the best pizza by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Gotta agree with the Perry comment but its classic thin crust and many west coast US people prefer a thicker crust like Costco has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickwi Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Foccaccia, it's a bit of a drive, but great pizza! Excellent Italian food and great prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This family is West Coast, but thin or thick, it's the cheese and the sauce that really counts. Costco is good but it's not right here. I don't get why anyone is giving a thought to Domino's when we have Perry's in town. It's the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costco pizza crust IS right, and baked to a golden crispy crust, just perfect...eating a great pizza is a religions experience... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
congodog Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 IMHO Perry's is much better than Foccaccia by a mile. But obviously, you'll need to try both and decide for yourself. For thin crust, try Bistro O'Campo on O'Campo. They have great thin crust pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Perfect example of Pizza politics laugh out loud. Notice we can't even agree what is important sauce/toppings or crust. Perry's is good but I need more chewy. I just don't get Dominoes. Pizza at Costco same in Guadalajara or Kirkland Washington. Others of course will disagree.

ComputerGuy Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Dominos, to me, represents the great swindling of America... a swindle that could only have happened where the vast majority of customers have little or no taste. So they, in effect, were not swindled: they just don't know any better. But the company that runs Dominos? They know, and have been raking in the profits of their scam for years.

ComputerGuy Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 More's the pity. But I consider that just fallout. Everyone knows Canadians spent many years wanting "everything American". Sometimes, you get what you wish for. Sadly, my home town is besotted with "2 for 1" pizza joints, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted July 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Most of the current pizza places in Chapala are hole in the wall type places that mainly do deliveries. Today I noticed El Giardino (sp?) on Madero. It looked like a real restaurant with tables. How is this place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 In rmy opinion, Il Giardino is one of the better restaurants in Chapala. They specialize in pastas and pizza (their pizza is super thin crust and is ok, not the best) but they do have a decently large menu with steaks, hamburgers, fish, greek gyros, among many other cool dishes. For those of us living in Chapala, with the majority of the restaurants serving basic Mexican fare and the sea food restaurants on the malecon serving mostly fried fish, rice and salad, Il Giardino is unique and a breath of fresh air. And another one of our better restaurants in Chapala is Alfredo's California Grill opposite the malecon on Ramon Corona, they have a good variety of dishes too.
