Domino's new Parmesean Bread Bites...any good?

[diane2001v]

I recently saw Domino's ad for their new Parmesean Bread Bites. Though I'm not a fan of their pizzas, these bites actually look pretty good. And at a price of just $2.99 for 16 of them. I'm just wondering, has anyone tried these yet and are they worth a try? Thanks in advance!

I have not tried them but they seem like SSDP: same stuff, different presentation.

These are divine!!! Our local Domino's made the best ones ever (but sadly they closed). They were garlicy, buttery, light & fluffy and dipped in a little marinara they were just divine!! My opinion but I now have to drive to the next town to get them & they aren't as good as the guy who made them here.

Diane,
So did you end up trying the Domino's Parmesan Bread Bites? If so, how were they?

[diane2001v]

I did! They were okay, but not something I'll probably order again. A little on the greasy side, but definitely warm and garlicy. I'd rate them 7/10.

I've just never understood a side of bread with pizza. Even garlic knots served at the local pizzeria. Huh? I realize Domino's is limited to what they can serve due to the fact that they don't have a fully equipped kitchen. But bread with bread? Makes no sense at all.

It's the same at Panera. Order the Pick Two with a half sandwich and half salad and one of your choices for a side is a piece of bread. Why would you want to eat a piece of bread when you are having a sandwich?

Because some people love bread?

[ttoommyy]

Believe me, I love bread. But bread with a side of bread is overkill. It's nice to have something complimentary as a side. To each his own I guess. Fair enough.

[joe777cool]

blasphemy! no such thing as too many carbs!

[ttoommyy]

I never once said anything about carbs; look at my posts. My question is with the redundancy of food items. I feel the same way about a side of spinach served with a dinner salad. I like a variety in my starters, entrees and sides. That's all.

I absolutely love bread and eat it most every day.

[joe777cool]

like you said - to each their own. I personally love a good garlic knot and the parmesan bites arent that bad at all. I wish Domino's had a better marinara dipping sauce, however.

You've got to try their mango-habanero dipping sauce if you haven't done so
already.

[joe777cool]

oh I have - its the best sauce I they have. Their chicken is only mediocre but that sauce kicks it up a few notches. I usually buy a few extra containers for my fridge! I am not a span of really spicy food so I usually have to alternate the MH sauce and a bbq, but the pain is worth the taste.

[pamf]

Because some people have the Pick Two with soup and salad, so the bread side is welcome.

[ttoommyy]

You are so right pamf. I never order soup and salad so it never occurred to me. Mea culpa.

[Samalicious]

And I like bread with pizza because I'm a big fat carb hog. So there you go.

I always thought that garlic knots started because there was left over dough and someone got the great idea to roll it in garlic and bake them.

[Ditdah]

Hahah! I'm LOL'ing at the Panera side comment. It's not just the pick two - they offer it as a side with thier sandwiches by themselves. - that's never made any sense to me!

[joe777cool]

I have had them twice, they are decent. Good amount of cheese, butter, and galic in the coating - cant go wrong with that combo.

[Ditdah]

I haven't actually tried them, but they don't look exciting to me. Just hunks of bread? No thanks.

I don't like thier pizza much, but I do like thier new stuffed cheesy breads. Especially the spinach and feta - very tasty! Don't expect a real greek treat or anything - it's chain pizza store cheesy bread. But much better than other chains. Be warned, though - they are REALLY cheesy!

[Dax]

I am a little ashamed to admit that their new cheesy breads are super cheesy, greasy and delicious.

[mucho gordo]

Agree. We had their special 2 medium 2 topping pizzas for 5.99@ plus 1.00 for 16 pieces of the cheesy, greasy breads. They were great with the mango/habanero dipping sauce.

[cwdonald]

And the greasy bits cost domino's five cents, so you made the chain another dollar. Can anyone compare them to garlic knots that you get at a good pizzeria?

[mucho gordo]

I can compare them to Numero Uno's: aside from the shape, they are almost identical, except Domino's has that mango / habanero dipping sauce.

[master815k]

They came free with my pizza this week. They were ok, but I will never order them myself. Lack a lot of flavor.

[Tripeler]

Judging by the rest of Domino's menu, how good can they be?
Still, at that price, it would certainly be worth giving them a try.

[cwdonald]

I have not had them. My impression of them from the commerical is that they look like "garlic knots" which is something a lot of pizza places make with their pizza dough, and cover them in parm cheese and garlic. Can anyone compare them to garlic knots?
