3 addresses for Italian pizza in Santiago, please?I have to chuckle at some of the things I read on here at times and I wonder just how isolated some of you appear to live in DR. You can get delicious, authentic italian pizza in DR at Italian-owned establishments, all or most of these places are easily found on social media or are in easily accessible neighborhoods in SD, Santiago and other major tourist areas like PC.
Quite a few of you need to get out a little more or get with the times and use more social media, at least to follow or learn about the many fine dining options available in DR.
If you know of any authentic Italian pizza in Santiago , I am all ears. Monchi pizza has seem to fall off. Ny 212 pizza is still pretty good. However, not authentic Italian owned pizza. Only place I have had good auhentic Italian owned pizza was in sosua And Boca chica.
The "foodie" scene is Santiago is Bustling!! I eat out several time a week and have found some real gems bc of Social media. I have also found the success rate is 50/50 at best. Someplaces are very over rated. Especially when making American style food. Wings, pizza, burgers ect. The food truck scene is very cool!!
It seems as it has been the North American crowds who have been requesting more "fast food" alternatives close to tourist locales rather than the RD populace.
Dont think so.
[Some] Dominicans think everything American is better so they would flock to places selling "authentic" American food. I agree with others franchise pizza is garbage.
Yes 'tis true Horatio. The name meaneth all even if thine own quality is the bulls rear end.The Commander has a point. Yesterday, I had an interesting conversation with a local who purported to tell me that Papa John's Pizza tastes better than the pizza at Punto Italia. You read that correctly. I told him that he was mad, i.e., crazy. This represented the equivalent of comparing homemade gelato with a low-quality U.S. store brand ice cream made with powdered milk product. At the end of the day, I concluded that the guy simply does not know quality food. As for him, a U.S. branded product means quality per se. Now, we know that such is not necessarily so. After chatting a few seconds more, the topic changed. Asking rhetorically, I wonder if this guy prefers an Outback steak to a steak dinner at an Argentine restaurant?

I had a friend ask me to get her some Champion cross trainers from Payless. I got her Danskin cross trainers. We all know Danskin is a higher trade name than Champion. But Champion is all they see. They dont sell Danskin in Payless, they couldnt the brand commands too much prestige.
But now she is the butt of jokes because my higher quality Danskin shoes arent perceived to be the same as her lower quality budget retailer Payless shoes.
Perhaps, Mr. Orwell had it right all along: Ignorance is strength. :glasses:To her they're better, what ever makes your boat float, to each his own, etc.
