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. /End Rant

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.

Bruce give me 5 dollars just in case you suck more than I think you do. And don't even think of asking for change, thereby breaking my change policy.

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?

When I was a kid- we used to call Dominos "Cardboard and ketchup." They've definitely made a step up from that. If given the choice, I will almost always order a deep dish dominos than anywhere else. However, I've never tried their regular pizza since I was a kid. And back then- it sucked LOL! |

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.

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.
