Dominos sucks, Wise up! They're really really bad. And this from a Brit ...the people who eat pizza with a knife and fork....

You do the porn or pay the penaly, oh Dominos enabler.....

Pizza that fast is almost uncomprehending, even picking up the food myself takes at lest 10 mins. My main grip with Dominos is that they are exspeive, it seems you don't get a lot of food, or even a lot of quality food for what they charge. In truth I prefer the local shops.

The 8 minutes was the time from "out the door" to Cic's front porch. It spends 5.5 minutes just in the oven, you couldn't do one in 8 minutes from start to finish unless you live within walking distance of the Domino's.

It takes about 10-20min for the pizza to get cooked then at lest 10min to get to the store and have the pizza in hand.

Ok...Update: They called back late, at about 9:45 pm. After I got my pizza I went to the web and thanked them for the satisfactory customer experience, then stated that I needed change as requested next time. A couple hours later I received a call from the manager about the comment I left on the website. (to my shock and dismay)

After about 15 minutes of arguing about the differences of 20 and 40 dollar amounts of change for delivery drivers, robbery statistics that were unclear, and an anecdote of a pizza mugging from the manager: In no uncertain terms I was invited not to order their pizza if I was to break their corporate policy by asking their drivers to carry more than 20 dollars in change for our transaction.

I blew a fuse. Apparently, I was insane to ask them to bring more than 20 dollars in change. Knowingly breaking their policy............ I must have been out of my mind to request change for a 50 so I could tip the driver properly. I was also unconcerned for the drivers welfare apparently as I was supporting a mugging when asking for that amount of change.

So I asked for the mugging statistics. None. So I asked for an anecdote. She had one. One of her drivers was robbed of her pizzas, and no money. Violently at that...

My Dominos pizza experience has been ruined! They refuse to admit there is little difference between carrying 20 dollars and 40 dollars. esp. since in their own experience, pizza was robbed and the money carried untouched.

I was trying to put their drivers at risk!! :(

Forget Dominos.

It's more than a little difference. Change for a twenty is a couple bucks, change for a fifty is thirty-couple bucks. Some shops won't come near you if you ask for that much change, fearing a trap. There are people out there that will kill a driver for 30 bucks and a pizza. Mostly they don't plan on killing, they just get nervous and lose it, but won't even try in the first place, for only a couple bucks.

F - Dominos. Their cardboard excuse for pizza isn't worth calling for anyway.
Around here there used to be about 8-10 stores. Now there are 2. Nuff said.

They have pumped a lot of money into their ad campaign saying "our pizzas don't suck any more. try one." Has anyone had one of their new pizzas? Are they still horrible?

jinx 05-12-2010 09:50 AM

I couldn't even tell you where one is.

Shawnee123 05-12-2010 09:52 AM

We have one. Back a hundred years ago, I wanted another second job, and I thought I would try pizza delivery. It didn't work out, but I remember thinking the place was pretty dirty.

So, even if the pizza has improved, I would need proof of new management and clean conditions before I ordered from there again.

dmg1969 05-12-2010 11:22 AM

I think I've had Domino's pizza once in my life and didn't remember it being all that good. I'd be willing to try it again now that it is NEW and IMPROVED. But, I suspect I will remain a loyal Pizza Slut fan.

We happen to be blessed with a zillion non-chain pizza shops in this area. This is a good thing, although I've have some pizzas from Pat's, a small chain out of NJ, and they were excellent.

lookout123 05-12-2010 01:58 PM

Domino's isn't our source of choice but we did order one of the new pizzas and I must admit that while their old product was sauced up cardboard the new one is pretty darn yummy. It won't go to the top of our list, but I wouldn't hesitate to order it again either.

glatt 05-12-2010 02:05 PM

thanks lookout. We may give them a try sometime.

We have so many options around here, the question is usually what kind of pizza you are in the mood for. Each palce has their own take on how a pizza should be.

Sorry, but I have weigh in on the side of Dominos re the amount of change their drivers carry.

It's not to piss customers off.
It's not a stupid rule to make things difficult for people.
It's well advertised and it's there for a reason.

I've lived with a couple of "resting" artistes who worked for Dominos.
They certainly weren't jobsworths, but they left the store with the offical float.
They could break a £20 almost always (Dominos in the UK is £11.99 minimum).
But if the order was £25 and two £20s were offered they were not obliged to accept it.

For minimum wage (and tips) they came in for a lot of abuse.
From people who thought it was their right.

To me - and I know English customer expectations are not the same as in the US - if there is a limit set on the amount of change given, then you either accept that or change your pizza delivery company.
