  • George: From calorie count to portion sizes,

  • we wanted to find out all the differences

  • between Domino's in Japan and the US.

  • This is "Food Wars."

  • In Japan, Domino's pizzas come in three sizes.

  • Our Domino's pizza comes in four sizes.

  • George: So, this one is medium, which is cut into 8 slices.

  • Joe: Over here on this end, you got the small.

  • That's 10-inch pizza.

  • And here's regular, which is also cut into eight slices.

  • Joe: Next up is our medium.

  • That's a 12-inch pizza.

  • And this one is large.

  • This one is cut into 12 slices.

  • Joe: Then we move to our large, 14 inches.

  • And finally, the extra large, which is 16 inches.

  • Look at all that grease.

  • A Domino's large plain pizza has a 33-centimeters diameter

  • or an 855.3-square-centimeters area

  • and costs 2,000 yen.

  • So breaking that down,

  • our pizza is 2.33 yen per square inch,

  • or about 2 cents.

  • Now take our large. This is a 14-inch pizza,

  • also a 35.56-centimeter pizza.

  • And it has a surface area

  • of 993.1 square centimeters.

  • That's 1.4 cents per square inch,

  • or 1.62 Japanese yen.

  • But what gives you the most food for your money?

  • So, here's a large plain slice with a pan crust.

  • And here's another with hand-tossed crust.

  • Let's weigh both right now and see which is more.

  • So, first let's weigh pan crust.

  • 51 grams.

  • And hand-tossed crust.

  • It weighs 49 grams.

  • And we will do the same.

  • I want to note that right now in America,

  • you can only get the pan Domino's in the medium size.

  • Same exact experiment, only I'm doing two medium pizzas.

  • Medium pan slice, medium hand-tossed slice.

  • So, this is the hand-tossed slice,

  • and it weighs

  • a smidge over 75.

  • We'll go 76.

  • The pan.

  • That goes in there too.

  • 110 grams.

  • Making the difference this amount.

  • I'm not doing math.

  • In Japan, we have seven different crust options.

  • No. 1, we have pan.

  • And No. 2 we have hand-tossed.

  • And No. 3, we have ultra-crispy.

  • Ooh.

  • It's like a cracker.

  • No. 4, we have cheese burst,

  • where a string cheese is placed around the edge of the crust

  • and sprinkled with consommé Parmesan seasoning.

  • Ooh.

  • No. 5, we have the cheese 'n' roll.

  • It's got mozzarella cheese in the crust.

  • And No. 6, we have mille-filet.

  • Or mill-foy.

  • Mille-fail.

  • In Japanese we say mi-ru fi-yu.

  • So this one is mi-ru-fi-yu pizza,

  • which has two layers of crust

  • with Camembert mixed cheese in between.

  • Mille-fail.

  • Mille-fee-yuh.

  • French people, please correct my pronunciation.

  • No. 7, the last one we have,

  • the triple mille-feuille.

  • It's got three layers of crust with cheese in between.

  • Wow.

  • In the US, we have only five crust options.

  • I realize there's four pizzas in front of me.

  • Let me explain.

  • One crust option you can get here,

  • and it's a small only, is the gluten-free crust.

  • I don't know how bread is gluten-free,

  • but we figured it out.

  • Ta-da.

  • We also have the hand-tossed,

  • which is more of a standard pillowy,

  • I mean, right, this is like standard dough,

  • this is what we think a pizza looks like.

  • This is the pan.

  • Look how thick that is, man.

  • That's, like, triple the dough thickness.

  • Good on you for the pan.

  • Now, you can get this in the medium only.

  • We also have a crunchy thin crust.

  • And we have so many pizzas here, to be honest,

  • I don't know which one it is.

  • So when it just comes up in the video, I'll show it off.

  • But imagine a crunchy thin pizza.

  • Oddly enough, we also have something called

  • the Brooklyn-style pizza.

  • This is reserved for large and extra-large pizzas only.

  • And this is a Brooklyn-style right here, extra large.

  • Obviously it isn't crispy, because it's sagging.

  • This is really thin.

  • Here's everything you can get at the Japanese Domino's

  • that you cannot get in the US.

  • Here's everything you can get at a US Domino's

  • you cannot get in Japan.

  • Everyone, look at this.

  • This is a limited-time-offer pizza.

  • It's called the Best 34.

  • Look at this lid.

  • It's disgusting!

  • Don't look at me! Don't look at me!

  • So, this one has all 34 Domino's toppings,

  • like teriyaki chicken, mayo, spinach, tomato, shrimp.

  • This is huge.

  • It's like my baby.

  • [sings lullaby]

  • The New Yorker-style pizza is similar

  • to the Brooklyn XL option you can get in America.

  • But only in Japan you can get the Quattro New Yorker.

  • It's a 16-inch pizza with each New Yorker topping style

  • covering a quarter of the pizza.

  • So one quarter is pepperoni, and one is cheese,

  • and one is pepperoni and sausage,

  • and one is ham and mushroom.

  • So, here we have Nippon favorites series.

  • Nippon, or Nihon, means Japan in Japanese.

  • So these pizzas feature Japanese ingredients.

  • This one charcoal-grilled teriyaki chicken.

  • It's got teriyaki chicken, teriyaki sauce,

  • spinach, mayonnaise, and corn.

  • Next we have Hokkaido three cheeses.

  • So, Hokkaido is the northern island prefecture in Japan,

  • and it's famous for its cheese.

  • It's got Hokkaido Gouda cheese,

  • Hokkaido cheddar cheese,

  • and Hokkaido Camembert and sliced asparagus.

  • We have spicy mayo and mochi.

  • It's got mochi rice cake and corn,

  • pork sausage and sliced asparagus,

  • and Korean seaweed flakes.

  • And last one, we've got charcoal-grilled beef

  • and spinach and mushrooms.

  • Mm!

  • Oh!

  • Umai!

  • Umai!

  • This beef is so tender,

  • and it's got so much, like, charcoal flavor,

  • which makes this amazing.

  • I love this.

  • So many exclusive pizzas here at the US Domino's.

  • I don't know where to begin,

  • so I'll just start with this one that I'm holding.

  • This is the Cali chicken bacon ranch.

  • I don't know what makes it California-in-y or Cali-y,

  • but it definitely has chicken, and bacon, and ranch,

  • and it's big.

  • Thank you very much.

  • All right.

  • Chicken taco pizza.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Got taco spices to it.

  • Good job on this one.

  • Next one, the cheeseburger pizza.

  • Um ...

  • Yeah. Oh, my God.

  • I'm going to say something crazy.

  • This tastes exactly like a McDonald's cheeseburger.

  • Even has the oniony and the ketchupy taste.

  • Wow.

  • That is a surprise.

  • I thought this one was going to be bad,

  • but it's actually pretty good.
