A Brit and an American swap countries to try each other's dominoes.

We're gonna start by comparing a menu item you can find in both the US and the UK to see if there are subtle differences.

Feels like it's a little bit bigger than our medium.

In terms of visual impressions, it looks pretty similar to a cheese pizza that I'd find in the UK.

And honestly, it looks pretty much like the size that I would expect from a large pizza in the UK.

Otherwise, it looks pretty similar in terms of the crust.

You get these little, like, spots where the cheese kind of caramelizes on top.

Yeah, pretty much like what I'm used to in the UK.

I can definitely tell that this is mozzarella cheese and not whatever weird pizza cheese we have in the US.

So, yeah, this is like, it's like a cleaner taste.

It's also looking like there's a pretty high cheese-to-sauce ratio on that.

I feel like if you look at the kind of cross-section, it's a lot of cheese and not a ton of sauce.

I have had some New York slices while I've been here, and it's kind of comparable to one of those.

I feel like I might offend some New Yorkers by saying that.

There's a lot of, like, tuts happening around the room right now.

What I mean by that is, I think, like, in terms of the way that the cheese and the sauce blends together, there's, like, less of a distinction between the cheese and the sauce.

It kind of just all forms one mass, and in that regard, I feel like it's similar to a New York slice.

The crust on this is, like, way less crispy than I have come to associate with a New York slice.

There's also maybe not quite as much flavor as some of the slices that I've tried.

Here's all the UK dominoes menu items I can't get in the US.

And here are all the dominoes menu items from the US, which you can't find in the UK.

You've got, like, a double-layer crust with, like, a garlicky cheese in the middle there.

Here in the UK, a garlic-and-herb stuffed crust pizza.

This has to be half-price, or you're getting ripped off.

Yeah, it's, like, not as thin, but it's still thinner.

So, man, you guys really get specific with the thickness of your crust.

Yeah, this, I'd be like, in America, this would be the thin crust.

This would be like, yeah, I got the thin one, right?

And this would be, like, people just rioting.

Dominoes in the US has crust options, which we don't have in the UK.

We'll start with this one, which is the pan crust.

It is obviously much thicker than the standard hand-tossed slice was.

You do get that kind of, like, pan-crust bottom there as well.

I like that you get more sauce and more distinct areas of sauce on this than the standard slice.

I think often for me, like, the sauce is kind of the star of the show, especially when it's a fast-food pizza, and the cheese generally doesn't have that much flavor to it.

I will say I was expecting it to be crispier on the bottom.

When you see the kind of, like, the cook marks on the bottom, I was expecting that to be a nice solid crust, but it is kind of squidgy.

Now, I've already made comparisons to New York slices, which have drawn some criticism from the room, but this is supposed to mimic a New York slice.

As I now know from a New York slice, generally you're talking low-moisture mozzarella, the sauce, and that kind of mixture of, like, crispy but a little bit floppy on the crust, which kind of this is doing, to be honest.

So it sort of looks like a New York slice, but does it taste like one?

I'm sorry to the great state of New York for what Domino's has done to your pizzas.

And then finally, Domino's in the U.S. does a gluten-free base.

I don't know what they've done to this gluten-free base.

I think maybe they were trying to do it into squares, but have just completely messed up the angle, so now you get these, like, weird kind of diamond-shaped slice in the middle, some, like, tiny triangle ones on the sides.

I feel like if I were gluten-free, I think I might just skip Domino's.

Veggie Volcano, veggies and jalapenos, making it Volcano-y.

This one has, like, a lot of seasoning on it.

I mean, I'm seeing the jalapenos in here.

That other one, the Volcano one, was spicier.
