Happy Joe\u2019s<\/a>, a Midwest pizza chain, supposedly invented it in 1974. I grew up on the \u201coriginal\u201d taco pizza with refried beans, taco-seasoned meat, lettuce, tomatoes, taco chips sprinkled on top (my favorite part), and taco sauce on the side.<\/p>\nAlthough Domino\u2019s Chicken Taco Pizza lacks many of those ingredients, I wanted to give it a try. I could’ve added my own chips and salsa, but sadly my kitchen lacked these add-ons when I ordered mine. It does includes American cheese, taco seasoning, grilled chicken, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, provolone cheese, and cheddar cheese. It looks like it was built in this order as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
It has no traditional sauce, instead replaced by American cheese and taco seasoning. With my pizza, these base ingredients were not equally distributed with my first slice being heavy with the seasoning, while my second slice was more American cheese. The seasoning is what really gives this its taco essence. Plus, I don\u2019t know a lot of folks who include American cheese in their usual lineup of taco ingredients. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The other components were better distributed, but kind of blended together with no single ingredient overpowering the others. As expected, there were obvious texture differences — a chunk of chicken tastes and feels different from a green pepper string.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The provolone and cheddar cheeses also blended together and started congealing, which pizza cheese does if not immediately eaten. That was likely due to time delays from my pizza being ready until I actually got to bite into it. (I had to wait about 30 minutes from the time Domino\u2019s Pizza Tracker indicated mine was ready until it finally hit my mouth!) So it was lacking in cheesy ooziness as well as a strong scent, which are two components that typically get me excited to dive into a pizza. <\/p>\n
Domino\u2019s has touted this (as well as its new Cheeseburger Pizza) as \u201cdesigned for delivery\u201d given that tacos and burgers are not food items that always deliver well. This pizza is not a taco replacement, but it is a solid Domino\u2019s offering with some taco-flavored inspiration (mostly the seasoning).<\/p>\n
Some of the ingredients could be found in a taco, although the onion and green peppers seem more fajita-esque. To enhance it with your own taco-flair, I recommend adding some chips (hard-shell bits or crumbled Doritos) and salsa. <\/p>\n
While I do not think Domino’s Chicken Taco Pizza compares to the \u201coriginal\u201d taco pizza, I would probably order it again if wanting a change from any traditional pizza.<\/p>\n
