Donatos is a predominantly midwest franchise chain known mostly for their Edge to Edge® toppings. They also cut their pizzas with rectangular pieces. A large pizza will always come with 100 pepperoni slices supposing you order a pepperoni pizza. They were also owned by McDonald's at one point, but were bought back by original founder Jim Grote.
This sign greets you upon entering this particular Donatos. The validity of this sign is questionable as is the grammar.
I assume they will not actually cut your pizza this way. I seriously considered asking.
Another sign above the table. Presumably pizza will not be made this way either.
DAVE SAYS:
Though Donatos is a moderately large chain throughout Indianapolis, I've only had them once approximately 10 years ago. I thought it was okay, but wasn't gaga over it. I don't know why I hadn't had it until now because I could tell I would like it more if I tried it again. My assumption was correct. I did like the pizza a lot.
The biggest difference between Donatos and any other pizza place is the toppings covering the entire pizza. There is no outer ring of crust (AKA free breadsticks). I personally love having that outer crust. I don't necessarily miss it here, because Donatos crust is thinner than the average chain crust.
The toppings were entirely above the cheese so you could see every single pepperoni. You can also taste the pepperoni more with no cheese in the way of your taste buds.
Other than the visual appeal of every inch of pizza being covered, this pizza had nothing that stands out about it. Every ingredient is good, but nothing is better than anything else. Everything about the pizza is well done. As far as chains go, this is one of the best.
My final score is 8 out of 10.
My belly is full of pizza...delicious pizza.
