Domino's American Legends Pizza Pies

Dominos's American Legends: Philly Cheesesteak
Grade: B
"When Domino's coupled the pride of Philadelphia with one of my favorite late night snacks I was eager to try. Unlike most Philadelphians, I'm not a fan of onions on my steaks, but on the Domino's slice it wasn't that bad. It gave the pizza just a hint of extra flavor that made me want more. Sure it lacked the traditional Cheez Whiz, but other than that it was a pretty solid slice. Kudos, Domino's. I'd definitely sample again." -- Keith M.

Dominos's American Legends: Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch
Grade: B+
"Big toppings and lots of them. As a native, this really reminds me of a California artisanal pizza right out of the oven. It would be nice with a glass of Napa wine." -- Ernie K.

"I really enjoyed it. It definitely had that thick pillowy crust that pizza chains have and pizza parlors don't, but the flavor was great. The bacon was cooked just right and the slice was pleasantly creamy. The chicken was fine, but completely overpowered by the bacon. It didn't need to be there." -- Josie S.

Dominos's American Legends: Fiery Honolulu Hawaiian
Grade: B-
"As a fan of sweet Hawaiian pies for some years I figured that coupling it with a little bit of spicy couldn't hurt. Domino's Hot Hawaiian gave my stomach a little tingle but still brought a smile to my face with the perfect amount of jalapenos. Had there been any more I probably would've been walking around sweating bullets. Sure there could have been a tad more pineapple or even a sprinkle more ham, but it still worked for me. I'd definitely go back for seconds." -- Keith M.

Dominos's American Legends: Honolulu Hawaiian
Grade: A
"It was delicious! The bacon was a surprise. I've had plenty of Hawaiian-style pies before with shrimp, but I find I prefer the bacon and I'd order it over a local pizzeria. The crust was crunchy and the pineapples weren't dry. Thumbs up." -- Tania P.

Dominos's American Legends: Pacific Veggie
Grade: C
"I would imagine anything dubbed "Pacific" to have seafood. Is that just me? Despite the fact that my slice did not have a bit of shrimp on it, I thought it was delicious. I was also expecting it to be a bit more salty. Other than that, I would have a second slice." -- Wajma Y.

"The sauce was nice, smooth, and tasty. However, the tomatoes lacked crispness and the olives and the mushrooms weren't tender. It tasted like every other pizza franchise's veggie pizza. No Cali freshness here." -- Dana O.

"I'd definitely be satisfied grabbing it in LAX if my flight was delayed, but probably wouldn't go for it normally. The taste was better than a frozen pizza, but it's still too much fat and carbs for an everyday lunch." -- Marissa G.

Dominos's American Legends: BBQ Chicken
Grade: A
"I loved it. The big pieces of tender chicken and grilled onions really add to the flavor of the BBQ sauce. I also always love their not too crunchy, not too doughy crust. The sauce stands out -- it's sweet, but not too sweet, with a touch of authentic Memphis spiciness -- and makes the chicken taste so good but isn't overwhelming. I would definitely order this again." -- Lindsey S.

Dominos's American Legends: Buffalo Chicken
Grade: B-
"This had nice big chunks of chicken, but really didn't pack the spicy punch of Buffalo chicken. I wanted to throw some Tabasco, Anchor Bar, or Frank's Red Hot sauce on there for a real Buffalo feel, but as I didn't have any, I had to make do." -- Ernie K.
