hello everyone this is running on empty food review
well hello ladies gentlemen and everyone watching and even listening in perhaps
this is running on empty food review i am your host the report of the week
here we are welcome everyone we can see we have this giant box right here this
gigantic one would believe pizza box right you
can see it really is like the size of my torso
so i would imagine one would reasonably you know assume we are trying out a
pizza although you know i could like i could
be messing with all of you and i could have
you know like a sandwich or something in here and i could just really be
dramatically upping the production value but indeed we are having a pizza review
today and this is one that i'm really excited
about to tell you the truth and i know i know sometimes like i will
just say this as a bit of a joke that oh you know this is the biggest release of
2020 by far that uh you know i'm i'm pumped
right about this etc uh but this one is actually legitimately exciting
reason being this is a new pizza from domino's
now again some people they might be like okay so you know it's
what's the big deal about that you know domino's is a pizza chain they they have
pizza right so what's the big deal about that
here's the thing if you ever had dominoes regularly
uh one thing that is pretty constant about them is their menu
it's not something that's really subject to change all that much not that that's
a bad thing i think domino's is one of those places
that they know what they have they know what people like and they keep
it there you know they are a place of stability largely
now the sides is a different little different story for instance they
changed up some of the wings recently they'll have some different little types
of sometimes breadsticks variations etc but the pizza is largely consistent so
with this being one of their new pizzas that they've
released gosh i think for the first time in years this really is something that
i'm excited about as a matter of fact domino's has
released two you can see we have ten fingers but two
hands so that's where we're getting two from
two uh new pizzas out one of them is a cheeseburger
pizza and the other is a chicken taco pizza
and i guess the title kind of gives it away i'm trying out the chicken taco one
today because i've actually i've tried out
some cheeseburger pizzas not from domino's but other places have had them
before but i always like for some reason i
always like a little bit of like a crossover
between you know the southwestern type cuisine
and pizza i don't know it's just there's something about it that always always
interests me so this is their chicken taco pizza it's
brand new it was released yesterday as a matter of
fact and i would have got it then but i
actually had to get a root canal done then so i just i had to give my mouth a
break yesterday i couldn't just you know go after the procedure or
anything and eat some pizza i had to give my mouth a day to rest
but here we are today and uh to tell you the truth a root canal procedure
it gets a very bad reputation you know everyone's like oh
gosh a root canal you know it's going to be dreadful but to tell you the truth
it was very very smooth it was a very smooth procedure didn't feel a thing
and i mean look here i am the next day eating some pizza so it really
i think it gets an unnecessarily bad reputation it used to be
a really tough procedure but it's gotten so much better as of late
um but back to pizza eating the chicken taco pizza
this is one that has a lot on it um here's what it comes with
american cheese taco seasoning grilled chicken
fresh onions green peppers diced tomatoes
along with provolone and cheddar cheese price for this in general is around
11.99 it's about 12 dollars for a large pizza so again this has a
lot on it because you see dominoes they want to
say we're going to be here and we're going to combine the best of
both worlds right they are they are adventurous they're
daredevils this is like the equivalent of you know
skydiving without a parachute and having some
other guy that has a parachute on you jump out of the plane and catch you
midair and then he'll deploy the parachute and
you'll both be safe this is like the pizza equivalent of
that right they're taking chicken tacos pizza putting them together
and uh you know maybe that's maybe that's how universes get created
who's to say anyway large pizza you can see the um
you know the standard pizza box right here advertising their uh
their rewards program i got this delivered you can see the proof of this
i got the pizza pedestal as well contactless
delivery you know i can wear it as a hat if you want i don't
know what else he really did with it at this point
but i've got it got it as a souvenir for this pizza eating experience
all right let's unravel this see what we have
the chicken taco pizza there i am with it we'll get the
thumbnail while we're at it you know something like that um but you
can see there it is this is a pizza that like we said has a
lot on it and uh i think would be better for the
focus the sake of that is if i just go ahead and i grab a slice
individually hold it up it does come with their
tomato sauce by the way we'll go with uh actually i i don't know
this slice calls out to me a little more so let's go with that you can see this
has a lot you can see some of the american cheese you can see some of the
chicken um some of the green peppers as well
diced tomatoes even some of the onion on it as well
but this really is a pizza that has an awful lot to it
i guess it's their hand tossed pizza it's not thin and crispy and it's not
they're um pan pizza either so i think this is their hand tossed
derivative and now that we know what's on it we're just going to try it out
i will say this already one thing that i really do smell
is the taco seasoning i could really smell that so this definitely
i don't know just has that scent you know of like
i don't know if you've ever done this but get those little taco kits and make
your own tacos at home sometimes you get the taco seasoning
i kind of it smells like that you know that's what i smell right now so it's
gonna be interesting i bet chicken taco pizza from domino's going
in
i know i'm always having problems with my teeth this whole year has been
you know it's been one thing after the next but i was very very thankful to get
this procedure done it was it was necessary
and it really worked out good
chicken tacos though to tell you the truth i got excited when i saw this
pizza because one thing recently that i've been doing
whenever i get mexican food as i go with the chicken tacos and i always used to
just be like a beef taco type of guy but lately i've just been substituting it
for the chicken tacos i don't know i just i like them now
yeah like the way it tastes
huh one more bite for the sake of time i don't want to keep everyone waiting all
day
yeah i got to give it a thumbs up
i gotta say i like it i'm a fan of it i always like when these establishments
have you know an interesting idea something that's again
a little more adventurous uh something that isn't just your generic pepperoni
pizza or you know pizza with uh as some say
you know da meats right and uh just has something
different like all these different toppings this little bit of uh
again type of uh you know southwestern cuisine to it i i just like it i like it
when they do that but i like it when it's executed well
uh you can have a place that'll do whatever but birthday cake pizza you
know and say they're gonna get pepperoni and um
you know vanilla frosting on it at the same time and see i see how that works
out for you um but i like it when they have all
these ingredients and it works out really well
uh this is good i mean i really like it there's a good amount of the chicken
it's it's you know your grilled um your grilled chicken but it's in those
little you know it's kind of like it's it's
you know a little bit of cubes and slices but it's good when you bite into
it it's still juicy it still tastes good
there's a lot of chicken you get it in pretty much every bite
um so you definitely can taste that chicken there everything blends together
well you can really taste the american cheese that is
definitely prominent there and again it works actually pretty well with the with
the chicken the diced tomatoes that are on it as
well as a little bit i think of the tomato sauce because i do see some
tomato sauce on it a tiny tiny little bit but again
most of the tomato flavor i'm getting is actually from
uh the diced tomatoes that's on it and that tastes pretty good actually it kind
of spreads a little bit that really does work out as the sauce i would say
uh that works out well green peppers add a little bit of a crunch but it's good
the onions so nice little potency to them everything just blends together
well and that taco seasoning as something
about it just gives it this little bit i don't necessarily want to say too much
of like a a spice but it just gives it a little bit of a kick
it's what i'm trying to say just gives it a little bit of extra flavor to it
and i really like it i always like it when they put a little bit of like a
seasoning to the pizza because that's what i always like
to do when i make a pizza myself i always put a little bit of garlic
seasoning on it or something sometimes you know of course the generic
red pepper flakes etc but i always like it when they top it
with a little bit of seasoning it just kind of brings it to that
that next level um but otherwise again all the cheeses they just blend together
good the thing that i like about this i guess
that i'm trying to say that you can taste all the ingredients
and you can pinpoint them out individually but likewise they all blend
together uh just really for lack of a better word
is as really a uh spectacular combination uh they just it
all works out well and i would say that is a little bit of
an accomplishment because so often you have these
these places where one ingredient clashes with another there's too much of
this too little of that and sometimes it just takes one wrong
move you know to mess everything up but i think they really got this uh
nailed down pretty good again good portion size i like that
there's tons of toppings it's really loaded with them and overall for 11.99
it's good it's a good specialty pizza and i'd recommend you try it out again
it's a little bit of that you know southwestern cuisine
it is like a chicken taco but it's on a pizza you know it's
it's always different but i could definitely see there is that
you know like i've said for probably the 12th time that that southwestern flair
to it i must say
crust is standard gotta say i like it though domino's did
a good job so much to work with here but they did a
good job it blends together good and it's just a tasty pizza so if you just
want to switch it up a little bit spice it up a little bit change it up
and you know just just try it out if you want
i like it i'm impressed with it something that i was a little unsure
about i was excited but i wasn't sure how well it was going to fare
but they did a really good job with it so i like it i'm a fan of it
and therefore out of ten i really don't have many complaints about this pizza
and uh normally i wouldn't rate it so high
but i'd really i'd give it a nine out of ten because i think they really did a
good job in terms of execution flavor and uh
domino's did a good job so try it out if you want
11.99 the chicken taco pizza from domino's that's all that i have for you
everyone please be safe out there be healthy
for any viewers and listeners out there on the gulf coast of the united states i
know you've got this hurricane that's headed your way
please be safe take this thing seriously and until next time take care everyone
