A Privilege of the Freezing Winter! A Cozy Home Pizza Party with Domino's Pizza

A Holiday Starting with a Great Deal Flyer

When I checked the mailbox, a Domino's Pizza flyer popped out. It's been getting quite cold lately, and spending my days off cozied up at home is becoming my ultimate bliss.

Flipping through the flyer, the words Half Price for Takeout caught my eye. Plus, it came with a coupon for a great deal on two medium pizzas! This was definitely a sign from above saying, 'Have pizza for lunch today' (lol).

I immediately ordered the limited-time 'Plump Shrimp Half & Half' that I'd been curious about, along with the classic 'Quattro Meat Max' since I was really in the mood for meat. Bundled up against the cold, I made a quick trip to the neighborhood store to pick them up!

Impressed by the Gorgeous Visuals the Moment I Opened the Box!

I hurried home and opened them up before they could get cold! The moment I opened the box, the savory aroma of cheese and seafood spread along with the steam, making my stomach rumble instantly.

The limited-time 'Plump Shrimp Half & Half' was loaded with more shrimp than I imagined! The contrast of red, white, and green was so vibrant that just looking at it boosted my mood.

I had been shrinking a bit from the winter cold, but having such a gorgeous feast of a pizza on the table turned an ordinary day off into something a little special. I found myself smiling naturally even before taking a bite.

Piping Hot and Creamy! Plump Shrimp Cheese Gratin

First, I dug into the 'Plump Shrimp Cheese Gratin'! Biting into it while blowing on the piping hot slice, the gentle sweetness of the white sauce made with Hokkaido milk filled my mouth.

The three types of cheese—Gouda, Cheddar, and Parmesan—melted and intertwined, making it taste exactly like a freshly baked, authentic gratin turned into a pizza! The edges of the cheese, baked to a golden brown in the oven, were irresistibly savory.

The star of the show, the shrimp, was truly plump, and taking a bite with the spinach and ham was pure happiness. The deliciousness of a classic gratin was perfectly executed on a pizza crust.

Irresistible Aroma! A Sophisticated Bisque Sauce Style

Next, I took a bite of the other half, the 'Plump Shrimp Bisque Sauce Style'. In stark contrast to the comforting gratin from earlier, this one had a very refined, sophisticated flavor.

The source of that wonderful aroma that wafted up when I opened the box was this bisque sauce! The umami of lobster was tightly condensed, and with every bite, a rich seafood flavor passed through my nose.

The refreshing acidity of the lemon mayo used as a secret ingredient was exquisite, making it easy to devour despite its richness. It was a slightly luxurious slice that made me want to pair it with a crisp, chilled white wine on a holiday afternoon.

A Meat Lover's Dream! The 4 Flavors of Quattro Meat Max

After savoring the luxurious taste of seafood, it was time for the highly anticipated 'meat'! The 'Quattro Meat Max' I chose this time is arguably the pinnacle of Domino's Pizza's meat menu—truly a dream slice for meat lovers.

Four different types of meat pizzas are packed into one, making even the time spent wondering 'Which one should I have next?' enjoyable. I've summarized the characteristics of each along with my thoughts.

Pizza TypeCharacteristics and Flavor
Giga MeatLoaded with 7 kinds of meat! The overwhelming volume and exquisite saltiness are addictive.
Goryeo GalbiNo tomato sauce! A sweet and spicy sauce with a garlic kick makes this a complete 'Yakiniku' slice.
Charcoal Grilled Teriyaki ChickenThe savory aroma of charcoal and the richness of mayonnaise. A classic Japanese taste everyone loves.
Charcoal Grilled BeefA simple-is-best flavor where you can directly taste the sweetness of beef fat and the aroma of charcoal.

An endless loop of alternating between the gorgeous seafood and the punchy meat pizzas. This looks like it will become our family's staple winter style!

A Highly Satisfying Home Pizza Experience!

This time, I fully enjoyed a home pizza party with Domino's Pizza's limited-time 'Plump Shrimp Half & Half' and the classic 'Quattro Meat Max'. Being able to alternate between the delicate umami of seafood and the punchy satisfaction of meat left both my stomach and heart completely happy. On cold days, not forcing yourself to go out and instead relaxing at home around a delicious pizza—spending a lazy holiday like that is quite nice once in a while.
