REVIEW: Dunkin’ Green Goddess Wrap

I’m not a goddess. Nor am I a god, so trying Dunkin’s new Green Goddess Wrap feels weird. But, then again, you can’t spell Goddess without odd, which I absolutely am, as you can tell from this nonsensical introduction, so I guess I shouldn’t feel weird reviewing this.

According to Dunkin’, the Green Goddess Wrap has a satisfying mix of egg whites, farro, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, feta, and green goddess dressing, all wrapped in a verdant green lavash.

Let’s start with that spinach lavash, which doesn’t have much flavor and comes in a green color that’s not very verdant and appears more brown if the light is right. But when it’s green in my eyes, I can’t help but think it looks like a hemp wallet. Unfortunately, unlike all wallets, it didn’t do a great job at completely keeping in its contents. The Green Goddess filling squeezed its way out of the wrap through any possible opening. So eat over a plate or keep it in the sleeve it’s served in.

After a 24-minute drive home from my nearest Dunkin’ location, it retained a decent amount of warmth. Full disclosure: This is my first time with a Dunkin’ Wrap. Because this was my first time, I was surprised by its almost square shape. When my head thinks of wraps, foodstuffs shaped like burritos, not wallets, come to mind.

When I cut open the hemp wallet, my eyes could point out the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, some farro, and egg whites. But I was a bit disappointed that the filling didn’t have a green tint to it from the green goddess dressing. But that could be forgiven because this wrap is tasty. My taste buds mostly noticed the garlic and basil in the dressing, and they also tasted the sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and egg whites. However, the feta didn’t contribute much flavor. But that doesn’t matter because I thoroughly enjoyed what this hemp wallet offered. Overall, the filling’s flavor kind of reminded me of a spinach artichoke dip but slightly milder.

If my review convinced you to try Dunkin’s Green Goddess Wrap, and it’s between May 15-31, 2024, Dunkin’ Rewards members can try it for three dollars. Definitely worth it if you get it for three bucks, but not so much if you happen to pay almost seven smackers.

REVIEW: Domino’s New York Style Pizza

Where can you find Domino’s hometown, Joe’s Pizza’s first non-NYC location, the OGs of Detroit-Style pizza, AND Little Caesars’ hometown within a 30-mile radius?

The lower “thumb*” area of Michigan, of course! And I just happen to reside in this microcosm of pizza. So when Domino’s introduced its New York Style Pizza, I felt particularly compelled to try it because of Domino’s hometown roots AND because there’s a legit NYC institution (Joe’s Pizza) down the street.

Domino’s offers five types of pizza crusts: pan, hand tossed, crunchy thin, gluten free, and now New York Style.

Ordered as-is, the New York-style pie was an X-large 16″ pizza with the standard “Robust Inspired Tomato Sauce” and a cheese blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone. It was also cut into six slices, rather than eight, to enable folding.

Compared to the regular hand tossed, it was noticeably flatter and less seasoned looking. This wasn’t surprising as the hand tossed crust includes a garlic-oil seasoning blend. Unfortunately, this visual translated to a lack of flavor. It was rather bland and cardboard-like, especially with the thinner nature of it. Also, despite the robust tomato sauce (rather than the hearty marinara sauce), it didn’t impart any robust flavor.

Domino’s achieved the texture, though! It folded nicely, stayed firm, and wasn’t super greasy. I must mention that I clearly did not test it with any other toppings except for cheese, so the foldability was not rigorously tested. While I would test this further, none of the other toppings really interested or screamed NYC to me. Like, where’s the white pizza at?!

However, if we’re really nitpicking here, while the texture was foldable and structurally sound, it lacked that slight chewiness and springiness in the classic NYC crust.

If you want to switch up crusts, why not try the New York Style? I won’t stop ya. But if you’re on the fence, I don’t really find it worthy of replacing your go-to order.

*Because the physical state of Michigan is shaped somewhat like a mitten (Mitten State!), Michiganders use their hands to show where they generally reside – e.g., the thumb area, the palm area, the fingertips, etc.)
