Hey everybody, it's Arianita La Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.

In today's video, I'm going to teach all of you how to order pizza in English.

Yes, we are at the world's largest pizza chain, Domino's.

Let's go inside and see how to order pizza in English.

Today, we're going to be tackling one of the world's favorite foods, pizza.

So I'm going to teach all of you different words and phrases and vocabulary you need to know to speak confidently when ordering pizza.

Like if you want to order a slice in this store, if you want to order takeout like a big pie, as well as ordering something for delivery where it will be delivered to your door.

But before ordering pizza, let's talk about why pizza is so irresistible.

Pizza is this fantastic dish that is round but sometimes it can be square.

Also, it's built on this flat bread base called the crust or the dough.

Then it's slathered with this tangy tomato sauce and on top of it is melted mozzarella cheese.

And then finally, the best part is the toppings.

So in some places, you can order a single piece called a slice or you can order the whole pizza which is called a pie.

So in this video, I will break it down step by step on how to order pizza so you can feel confident in ordering pizza anywhere.

Okay, so since we're in Domino's, let's imagine we're ordering a whole pizza whether it's for delivery or at the counter.

Well, if you don't want it to get too complicated, you can just order one of their specialty pizzas on the menu.

So you can order the deluxe pizza, a margarita, the pepperoni, Hawaiian, barbecue chicken, and the veggie pizza.

These pizzas are very common here in America.

So you'll probably find them in every menu in every pizzeria in the U.S.

And to be honest with you guys, I really like the barbecue chicken pizza.

But if you want something different, maybe you have a topping you love, or maybe there's an ingredient that you don't want to put on your pizza, or if you just want to mix everything all together, then you can build your own pizza.

First, you'll start by selecting your crust and there are many options.

You can get a handmade pan, you can get it hand tossed, a thin crust, a New York style, and a gluten-free pizza.

So the small is 10 inches, the medium is 12 inches, the large is 14 inches, and there's even an extra large, which is huge, and it's 16 inches.

Sometimes if I don't know how big or how wide the pizza is, I'll ask the people working here, is this pizza good for one to two people, like the small?

Or if I want the extra large, I'll be like, how much will this feed?

The most common sauce to order on pizza is tomato sauce or just pizza sauce.

But if you're a little bit weird like me, you can order a sauce like barbecue sauce, garlic parmesan sauce.

Yes, a salad dressing can go on top of pizza.

You can ask for a light cheese, extra cheese, or even no cheese.

Yes, you can just skip the pizza without adding cheese on top.

But I don't know of a single person who has eaten pizza without cheese.

Toppings are all of the extra ingredients you put on top of the sauce and the cheese before putting the pizza in the oven.

There are many toppings you can choose from.

Pizza toppings come in two main categories, meats and vegetables.

Some popular meat toppings include pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, chicken, beef, and ham.

For vegetables and other toppings, you'll commonly find jalapenos, black olives, onions, spinach, mushrooms, pineapple, anchovies, and green bell peppers.

As you can see, there are many ways to order pizza, whether it's by the slice, in the restaurant, or for delivery.

But sometimes with loud background noises or even fast native speakers, it can be quite tricky to order pizza in English.

So that's why I want to introduce you to today's video sponsor, FluentU, which will help you with real world listening practice.

FluentU is this really cool app that's designed to help you learn new languages from authentic video clips from movie trailers, news clips, or even YouTube videos.

They have a Chrome extension where you can install it, and then when you're watching Netflix or YouTube videos that have subtitles, FluentU turns them into interactive lessons.

Imagine you're watching a scene where someone orders food, maybe pizza.

If you hear a word you don't know, like takeout, delivery, or crust, then you can just hover over the word in the subtitles.

FluentU instantly gives you the definition, an image to help you remember it, example sentences, and even shows you other videos where that exact word is used.

So if you find yourself struggling with listening comprehension, or if you want to learn more vocabulary from in-person situations, FluentU is a great app to check out.

I'll put the link in the description if you want to try out FluentU or just learn more about it.

Thank you FluentU for sponsoring this portion of the video.

Now that we've discovered all of the yummy options, let's go build our dream pizza and order it at the counter.

Now it's time to order pizza at the counter.

I'm going to order a large pizza that is New York style, and I'm going to add three toppings to it.

I'm going to have the regular pizza sauce, and then for toppings, let me do pepperoni, mushrooms, and green peppers.

I just ordered a large New York style pizza with three toppings, mushrooms, pepperoni, and green peppers.

Whether you order in-store or online, don't forget to check out the Domino's app because they have so many coupons that'll help you save money.

For example, this coupon allows you to get 20% off your whole order, and the coupon I used today is the one large three topping pizza for $12.99.

It only took 10 minutes to bake my pizza.

The pizza comes in a pizza box, and you can eat this at home, but they also have some chairs and some tables, so I'm going to eat inside.

Also, they gave me some paper plates, napkins, and also some grated parmesan cheese, as well as some crushed red peppers.

In English, we normally just say, bon appetit or enjoy your meal.
