There's lots of terrible pizza in Italy, but Domino's probably has the wrong business model. A regular restaurant will have excellent pizza, of course, but if you go to one of those little storefront places that are open between 2 and 5, when the regular restaurants are closed, there's a good chance the pizza will make Domino's look good. I don't think Domino's is well-positioned to compete with those, though.
I don't know why you're being down voted, there are two places in my partner's home town in Italy that sell objectively mediocre pizza, but are invariably busy because of location and convenience. It's just, a different type of convenience to Dominoes - buy by the slice and sit by the piazza/street to eat.
99% of pizza in New York is garbage. I live there a lot of the time. Just because locals think it’s okay doesn’t mean it’s good. People like McDonalds and that food is garbage.
