Eva Santaguida looked like she was going to turn green when her husband opened the pizza box from Domino’s.

“This is not a pizza. I’m sorry. No, no, I’m sorry,” she sputtered in a thick Italian accent as she lifted the pie to reveal a ring of oil in the box. “That is not pizza.”

She then goes into the kitchen and whips up her own scratch-made pizza, from the fresh dough and seasoned tomato sauce to slicing fresh mozzarella and adding fresh basil.

After taking a bite, her husband Harper Alexander gushes, “That’s amazing. That’s a pizza.”

“Italian Tries DOMINO’S PIZZA for the First Time” was one of the early videos the couple posted on their four-year-old “Pasta Grammar” YouTube Channel. Since it went up on Feb. 10, 2020, it has garnered almost 2.3 million views, one of the most popular among the 324 videos they have posted to date.

The recipe for that pizza can be found on Page 70 of the couple’s months-old cookbook, “The Italian Family Kitchen: Authentic Recipes That Celebrate Italian Homestyle Cooking.”
