Oh snap! The internet can finally rest easy: The answer to “Who Won the Great Pizza War of 2025?” has just dropped. And you won’t believe who took a decisive position.
Under the caption, “All the Nonnas in my Italian village will come to me with a rolling pin now,” A Frenchman named Éros has taken a stand. And in the most chaotic twist imaginable, he’s saying Domino’s beats Nonna’s (Italian grandmother’s) every time.
Rolling Pins, Talking Hands, And Arteries
In his Facebook Reel, Éros doesn’t mince words. Speaking in accented English, which somehow adds more weight to his words, he says, “Pizza in U.S. is 100,000 times better than in Italy.”
For anyone who’s even mildly foodie adjacent, that’s a bold, borderline heretical statement. He’s basically spoiling for a fight. But Éros stands by his words. “Yes, I said it. And before every Italian nonna comes at me with a rolling pin, listen,” he says.
“I love Italy. I live for pasta, espresso, chaos, men named Marco who talk with their hands. But when it comes to pizza, bro, America took the recipe and said, ‘What if we made it illegal for your arteries to survive this?'” he continues.
Then, he adds, “Italian pizza is cute. It’s light, elegant. You take one bite, and it’s like, ‘Mamma mia, Basilica Basil Pomodoro amore.’ But American Pizza—that’s not amore. That’s a full emotional support system covered in cheese. … Sorry, Nonna. I will still kiss your hand. But I’m ordering Domino’s.”
Domino’s Vs. Nonna: What’s The Difference?
Éros colorfully describes the differences between Italian and American pizza. “In Italy they serve you a pizza with six leaves of basil, and a single tear of tomato sauce and call it art. In the U.S. they give you something that looks like it survived a car crash with happiness: It’s thick, it’s greasy, it’s disrespectful, and that’s why it’s amazing,” he says.
He finishes up, adding, “So yeah, Italian pizza is romance. But American pizza—that’s therapy. That’s self-care. That’s a God cheat day.”
Sorry, Nonna, indeed.
There are some key differences between American-style and Italian-style pizza. For instance, they typically use minimal ingredients and a wood-fired oven in Italy. Italian crusts are typically lighter because the dough has been allowed to rise longer. There are even differences in the cheeses used. For example, mozzarella di bufala is often used in Italy, while shredded mozzarella is used in America.
Travel To Texas For Pizza?
The reel, which has been viewed 1.5 million times, has a comparable number of opinions attached. However, many claimed that America has better pizza than Domino’s. And Éros is very open to recommendations.
“I am going to Texas in 2 weeks,” he wrote in a comment. “Any recommendations other than Domino’s? Because apparently it’s not good compared to all the others pizzerias.”
Others were quick to comment that if he’s going to Texas, he needs to focus on barbecue. “If you visit Austin, and want some of, imo, the best BBQ I’ve ever had, you should try Terry’s Black’s,” suggested one viewer before advising Éros to ask a local for pizza suggestions.
Another viewer admonished, “You don’t go to Texas for pizza…kind of like [how you don’t] go to Rome for sushi or London for barbeque.”
Still, plenty of people agreed they love to get their pie fix from Domino’s. A third shared, “Dinner tonight was Domino’s stuffed crust pepperoni with extra cheese and a slice of Deluxe…cause it has veggies.”
But popular opinion probably can’t protect him from indignant nonnas. “We need to put a whole company of body guards on this man because you know the entirety of Italy just put a hit out on him,” quipped a fourth.
