Domino’s has proven to be surprisingly innovative. As far as I know other pizza chains just....operate.

Ignoring the fact that Dominos was a pretty different idea in the late 60’s, and ignoring this new innovation, “operate” is exactly what Dominos did for decades until their reputation for quality was so much in the shitter, they came out and apologized. Frankly, if I’m going to eat catsup-covered cardboard, I’ll get a Little Caeser’s.

I had little caesar for the first time about 2 months ago. It's so cheap! If you're going to eat unhealthy take-out, might as well make it cheap take-out. I did prefer Dominos but I'm comparing them across 2 countries (continents, even), so it's not really a fair comparison.

Pizza is one of the foods that I like when it's good but I mostly pass on if it's 2nd rate and actively avoid if it's 3rd rate. And not a lot of pizza is 1st rate, especially if it's been sitting around for a while.

I admit to not having had Dominos for a long time so I don't know quite where it and the other big chains sit on that spectrum but I'm guessing it's mostly on the not good side of the continuum.
