Food and Drink Domino's pizza revisited and review - Page 3

Mr. Laz · 01-06-2010, 01:49 PM

because i'm bored

lemme first say that i haven't had Domino's pizza in a long time because it pretty much sucked imo. Ketchup on cardboard etc. Then i saw a commercial for Domino's pizza that actually talks about listening to their customers and even mentioned the Ketchup reference so i was surprised and decided to try it again.

i ordered online ... the site wasn't great but it was decent. It was alot like the Pizza Hut site where they have coupons and allow you to customize your pizza etc. Not bad.

one thing i noticed if you completely customize your pizza is makes the price pretty expensive but if you modify an existing pizza you can get about the same pizza for a few bucks less ... kinda a glitch i think.

so i decided to go with the '2 medium pizzas w/2 toppings for $5.99 each' deal.

--------------------
my first pizza i decide to go away from my norm because they said their hand-tossed pizza had a new butter/garlic crust.

1. hand-tossed crust. 2-toppings were cheese and chicken.

i changed the american cheese to provolone and also change the tradition red meat sauce to white sauce ... for no extra charge btw.

my 2nd pizza was much more my norm

2. deep dished pizza(switching to deep dish added $1) with Italian sausage

i added extra sauce(no extra charge) and added hamburger(added $1) and sliced spicy sausage(added $1)

2nd pizza went from 5.99 to 8.99 with the changes.
-------------------------------------------------

order was easy and they even had a little order status update going. i don't know if it was real time or just a timing bullshit graphic program

but it keeps you occupied.

delivery was on time (20 minutes) and the order was filled correctly.

1st pizza - was decent, it was a weird taste because the white sauce was pretty much a traditional Italian Alfredo sauce. Along with the butter garlic crust basically made the pizza end up being Chicken Alfredo on garlic toast.

But it wasn't bad.

2nd pizza - was pretty dam good. the extra sauce made it spicy and the italian sausage was quite good. i was surprised

overall result - it's not restaurant level pizza but it's just a good as Pizza Hut or Godfather's. Competition is good so it's nice to have Domino's back in the running to keep the other fast food pizza places in line.

New Domino's pizza doesn't look anything like old Domino's pizza

I'm not a pizza snob, I'll admit I get frequent cravings for little caesars, papa johns, and actually really liked dominos (haven't had it since the new stuff though)

"Dough Master"? Really? Was there an apprenticeship for this?

No offense, but that's like calling a janitor a waste disposal engineer...

Casey's pizza for me...love that shit.

My fav. is from Pizza Glen in Clinton, where I used to live....sooooo good.

My hate for Domino's really doesn't have anything to do with their average-shitty....good enough when drunk...pizza.

Best pizza in our area is either Geraldi's or Gusano's.

We also have a local franchise (Eureka Pizza) that has ridiculously priced pizzas.

Since I have a relative who is a franchisee, I'd be curious to know why you hate them? Stiff you on a business deal?

I'll say this much and leave it at that. There was an end of semester situation in college in front of a dorm and 20 guys, where a delivery person did something stupid with no interference, something funny happend at her expense, both she and the store manager were lying one who sucks the peniss. not the end of the story.

rtmike · 01-06-2010, 02:42 PM

We usually order pie once a week. The past few weeks it's been Domino's, so far the best we've had.

Bill Lundberg · 01-06-2010, 02:43 PM

Did you know Northwest students can put Domino's on their Aladine cards now? That would have been dangerous back in the day. I'm pretty sure I would have run out of food money in the first 3 weeks.

The only pizza I really enjoy is the one made with my own two hands using the family recipe passed down from my uncle and dad. (May htey R.I.P.) We use a specific mixture of spices, a particular process for the dough and only certain brands for our ingredients. I've never found a "bought" pizza that compares. On those occasions where Mrs. Inspector orders pizza for the grandkids, I usually find something else to eat.

Does your dough recipe require a mixer?

googlegoogle · 01-06-2010, 02:56 PM

Right now -> $10 special ,all the toppings. Pizza hut pizza was awful couple of nights ago.

Hand tossed crust was worst i ever had. Just completely flat like a cracker. They better have a good excuse like the cold affecting the pizza proofing rise. Not buying from them again for a while.
