This spot for a new Dominos pizza was on the other night, and it made me realize that it’s so France specific. You wouldn’t find the French La Savoyarde pizza (topped with light Crème fraîche, Mozzarella, smoked fatty bacon, potatoes and a very strong smelling Reblochon cheese) in the U.S. just like you wouldn’t find the very American Bacon Cheeseburger Feast Pizza in France.
I suppose you wouldn’t find the “Orientale” in the U.S. either, which is topped with some veggies and “double merguez.” See the French Dominos Pizza List versus the American Pizza List.
Another silly bit of trivia I found was that you can order Côtes de Provence Rosé, an AOC wine, at any of the 136 Dominos in France. Yeah, there are THAT many in France!

In the past Domino’s Pizza had given a lot of money to Right to Life and other religious conservative groups. FYI…
Comment by Laurie 10.15.08 @ 8:46 amI remember when I lived in France I always thought some of the topping choices were odd. Chevre or Salmon on pizza just didn’t seem appealing to me. However, the pizza described in your post sounds really good.

La Savoyarde, mais oui, but La Chickenita? Absolument non! I do, however, like the Marianne-ish figure with the cheese hat. At least I think it’s a cheese hat.
I get nervous when you don’t post for a few days, but then you always redeem yourself. Merci.
