I Love Domino’s But Its Menu Would Be Better If It Had These 7 Items

When it comes to pizza places, we have an array of options, from Pizza Hut to LaRosa's to smaller pizzerias that delight locals everywhere. Domino's happens to be one of the top-grossing pizza places in the United States. Here, customers can enjoy specialty pizzas like the Meatzza or Pacific Veggie.

Additionally, you can grab a bowl of pasta or loaded tots to eat along with your favorite pizza. However, one quick look at their menu shows that it is missing several delicious dishes. I love Domino's, but its menu is sorely missing these seven items. (Read: 6 Dishes Not on Chipotle’s Menu That Absolutely Should Be)

This post was updated in February 2026 to include updated information about Domino's and additional editorial enhancements.

The first menu item that comes to mind that Domino's is missing happens to be the calzone. If you have never had a calzone, let me explain the deliciousness to you. Take the toppings you would normally have on a pizza, like cheese, green olives, pepperoni, or really anything you like. Then put it on top of a thick dough, fold it in half like a crescent, and cook it in the oven. This is the delicious calzone.

Calzones should be on the menu for those who love pizza but want something a little different. The loaded ingredients stuffed into a thick breading give an essence of pizza, but it is different enough for those who may be tired of the same ol' pizza every week.

Strombolis are very similar to calzones. Like the calzone, it is dough stuffed with pizza ingredients. However, instead of just folding the dough over, it is rolled up like a cylinder.

Strombolis are similar enough to pizza, but different enough to give your taste buds a different experience. It is easier to slice the stromboli into small pieces. Additionally, the dough being wrapped around all the ingredients makes it easier to dip into your favorite sauces.

It's true, Domino's does have stuffed cheesy bread. If you love the stuffed cheesy bread, then this is a great option. However, they are missing the traditional cheese breadsticks. The cheese sticks that are just regular breadsticks, with the cheese melted on top, remember those?

Traditional cheese sticks are somewhat nostalgic for some. They are simple enough to dip into your favorite sauce. There is no pulling the sticks apart and getting your fingers covered in oil. Basically, they are simple, and sometimes simple really is the best way to go.

Mozzarella sticks are a classic favorite. Sometimes you can find them at a typical restaurant, but I think that they should be at every pizza place. Mozzarella sticks are delicious appetizers that fill you up just a little bit while you wait for your food.

In a similar fashion to the traditional breadstick, mozzarella sticks are the perfect size for dipping in pizza sauce or even ranch. They make the perfect appetizer for those who love cheese.

Yes, I said chips. Sure, you can grab the potato chips from your cabinet, but is it the same? Many Redditors say that chips are the ultimate side dish to have with pizza, though it's hard to put a finger on why exactly.

Chips should be on the menu simply because they make an excellent side for pizza. While Domino's does have pasta, tots, and breadsticks, having those together can be heavy on your stomach. Sometimes you need a side that isn't also bread, especially since you are getting that dough with your pizza.

Fries are another classic for many types of restaurants. They go well with hamburgers and pizza. Not to mention, they can come in so many different forms.

Fries are one of those versatile foods that really should be added to any pizza place's menu. The reason is quite simple and the same as chips. Sometimes customers don't want breadsticks or another dough-filled side to eat along with an already filling entree.

Spaghetti is a simple Italian dish that is also an amazing substitute for pizza. You can get it with meatballs, just noodles, a lot of sauce, or a little sauce. This dish has rightfully earned its way as one of the top-tier simple dishes. In this case, simplicity isn't a bad thing.

Have you ever been invited out for pizza just to realize that you aren't really in the mood for it? In this case, spaghetti offers customers a perfect substitute for those nights when you are just feeling something else for dinner.

Domino's is loved by many for plenty of reasons. It's quick and easy on the pocketbook, and they offer a wide range of specialty and normal pizzas. However, they are sorely lacking these eight delicious items, which could really spice up their menu a bit. (Read: Chili’s Has a Great Happy Hour, But It’s Still Not as Good as These 8 Spots)
