The commercial has the look of a Spike Lee movie without the style or intelligence of a Spike Lee movie. The assortment of colorful characters are there. A Russian cab driver and his sassy passenger. An Italian woman yelling out her tenement window. An African-American man that cannot be heard over his boom box. The scenery is correct as well with a public park, street scene and tenement-style building. In all though, the Brooklyn feel is more CBS sitcom than Spike Lee by a mile.
This new commercial from Ann Arbor-based Domino's advertises a new style of pizza. The Brooklyn Pizza appears to be a thin-crust pizza with a brickoven look to it. Closeup images in the commercial however show a shiny greasy veneer that one would expect from Domino's.
Unfortunately the Brooklyn Pizza ad hasn't found its way to YouTube or Google Video. The pizza itself isn't even mentioned on the Domino's website. And I'm not invested in this enough to actually call Domino's and order said pizza, not to eat it, just to take a picture of it. (Add the above to the fact that Domino's is a big contributor to the Republican Party.) So let's just put it out there without evidence; the Brooklyn Pizza (probably/most likely/undoubtedly) sucks.
Meanwhile, here's an ad for Domino's in Egypt where a man threatens to kill his daughter and wife! Bon appetit!
P.S. If you really want good pizza in Brooklyn, Brick Oven Gallery is amazing. A somewhat dowdy decor hides some the freshest, delicious pizza ever!
