- Lowest minimum order value
- Fastest delivery (bc of own delivery guys)
- No perfect pizza but still great enough
- For me, ordering food == instant gratification == doesn't have to be healthy
1) Open late
2) Variety and style of toppings often better than traditional NYC pizza places.
Ex. Dominos uses thin pepperoni that crisps on the edges, regular pizza places use fat ones that grease up your pizza. Dominos uses dried jalapeno, regular pizza places use pickled that gets some brine on your pizza. etc.
A few weeks ago my wife and I had a craving for a burger. We went to some hipster place, hoping for something a bit healthier than McDonalds. They said there was a 40 minute wait (for takeout), so we ended up getting McDonalds after all.
There wasn't anyone else waiting there, but I assume they had orders queued up from delivery services. Still, it seems a bit stupid to tell someone in your restaurant to wait - even though you are probably getting more profits from them.
Or is there a place where one could see some approximations? I’m curious as someone who loves the McChicken but knowingly keeps his consumption of them to a minimum.
The garlic-hollandaise thing they come with is disgusting but the actual pizza itself is usually pretty good, if unhealthy. I enjoy making my own pizzas from scratch so I rarely order but the quality is impressive for the volume they have.
The delivery times don't seem to be particularly different from Uber eats or similar.
I was surprised visiting Taiwan, the Domino's there is actually pretty passable.
It really is unbelievably horrible. And every.single.time I order online and hit the checkout button, it pops up asking me if I want to add an extra large tub of it to my order!
I order Domino's on occasion just because my kids like it, and the online ordering process is great, but I'm not a huge fan of their pizzas TBH. I find them very greasy, and strangely the quality seems to vary from time to time - sometimes the dough is thicker, sometimes it's a little undercooked etc.
Also the pricing in the UK is weird. The official prices are actually pretty expensive, but there are always vouchers for 30% or whatever off. Annoyingly, this means I always have to buy more than I want to qualify for the voucher, because it ends up being cheaper to buy more.
Domino's is the only place that will deliver to me, being on the outskirts of the city. Luckily that Domino's is pretty good and reasonably low on the grease quota, compared to some I've had elsewhere. The one thing I do particularly like about that franchise is the cleanliness; I've been into the shop itself and it's really well kept, compared to some of the other "big" pizza places here.
Now, that Papa John's dip... Disgusting.
The coupons/special offers are good but recently at least Dominos have started moving the minimum order for delivery from like ~£10 to ~£12+. Really expensive just for pizza! They used to do a 'build your own pizza' delivered for about a tenner medium/large size which was a godsend when I was in university halls.
Barely use them nowadays, just get a decent fresh oven pizza from Tesco or the Co-Op. Shame because I used to like Dominos.
