You think Dominos is on the verge of going out of business?

[Godzuki]

Ever since they re-created their pizza they've been floundering IMO. Their old pizza wasn't anything special but it had its niche as a plain and average pizza that people liked. I know a lot of people that ordered Dominos despite it being real average.

Then in comes the new pizza and it tastes so butter/seasoning heavy that it felt like a breadstick pizza. I don't really like it, its too overboard with the seasonings. After that they started rolling out all of these deals/gimmicks.

Now dominos is running a $7.99 Large 3 topping pizza....I mean thats a sick deal, maybe the best i've seen. But it just seems like they're getting real desperate :confusedshrug:

[joe]

I don't know too much about Domino's specifically, but companies are hurt by the weak economy, too. My local pizza place has been raising prices lately, because the price of flour and cheese is going up. Perhaps Domino's has downgraded to a cheaper type of flour or dough, and is making up for it with adding seasonings/spices? Or maybe they think that's just what the customer wants?

[Skywalker]

they would be my favorite if they didn't make their pizza so damn small

[Loneshot]

The "new and improved" Dominos is atrocious. I've ordered it about three or four times since they changed the recipe and each time it tasted all dried out with no flavor.

I would not even take that 7.99 deal because it taste so bad.

[pete's montreux]

I wouldn't touch Dominos with a 100 foot pole. Never have, never will. When you live near a major city like Boston, you have the advantage of great food and that includes pizza. I'll drive out of my way to go to a small corner pizza shop in or around Boston. The Greeks really know how to make a f*cking pizza.

However, I had Pizza Hut's "rustic" pizza once and that wasn't too bad.

[kentatm]

the only thing I like about dominos is when you get the thin crust pizza its cut into little squares which makes it easy to eat with large groups.

other than that, the new recipe stinks.


and WTF is up with telling us to check the damn delivery box to let them know if their new chicken is good?

are they going to collect the box at a later date?

that said, if i'm going with a chain pizza i'm either getting Pizza Hut or donatos.

[bdreason]

Best chain pizza, at least on the west coast, is Round Table Pizza.


Dominos is trash, and so is Pizza Hut. I ate that junk in College, and even the thought of it now makes me sick to my stomach. I remember the worst part was trying to reheat Dominos pizza... and the cheese wouldn't melt, it would just get really hot. :wtf:

[Thorpesaurous]

I haven't had Dominoes since I was in middle school at some kids birthday party. There's still one near me, which astonishes me. Where I live in the northeast, between NY and New Haven CT, Pizza is practically it's own genus. I have a guy who works at the shop I work at who also works at a pizza joint at night. He's been there since he was a kid, and he was telling me that one slow night, they were sitting around talking about it, and said they could rattle off over a hundred places you can get a pizza within a 15 minute drive of where they stood. It seemed hard to believe, but I started doing it with him, and can get to fifty without much thought, and that doesn't even count all the places I've never been to or even noticed.

They vary in style, quality, cost, and other aspects. I have four or five places I consider on the regular. A local take out New Haven style brick oven that's close and easy (Pappas). A specific place for Scicilian (Villa). A greek spot (Paradise). A bar pie place (Porky's (great local wings too)). A nicer date type spot (Bar). A place to stop for slices (De Pizza Man). A place that's cheap and does quick delivery (Star). A place that does the best white clam pie (Sally's). It's actually to the point where I get hankerings not for pizza, but for specific types of pizza from particular places (my favorite place, The Colony specializes in a hot oil pie I've talked about here that's an entirely seperate entity).

How a place like Dominoes stays in business in my area astounds me. I will say that the one here is in what could fairly be described as a bad area, and it's possible it excels in part because it's dirt cheap, and secondly because of speed of it's delivery, but I still don't get it.

We still have a real sit down pizza hut near me that was at one time really good, but I haven't been in there in many years.

[DeuceWallaces]

I normally go for local places around me. That being said I really like one style from the new Dominos: Thin crust white pizza with roasted chicken, roasted red pepper, and mushroom.

[pete's montreux]

Dominos is a more of a B pizza kinda place.

[GatorKid117]

:D

I can't eat pizza anymore but Dominos was meh to me. If I'm getting chain pizza I normally would just get the cheapest, Hungy Howies 5 dollar large FTW!

[MeloMike]

I eat and enjoy Dominos 10x more than Pizza Hut. Dominos also has great deals around here and their delivery people are fast in my area. I like the new recipe too. Obviously not as good as high quality places, but it's good for a chain.

[bagelred]

Since they changed recipes, I've had Domino's maybe three/four times. It is MUCH better than it used to be.

Much.....better........

I actually think their new pizza tastes a lot better than the old one, and tons better than Pizza Hut. I love all the extra seasoning, but I guess some people don't like it for some reason.

[Crown&Coke]

They are far too large to just go away.

There is a point in economics where you lose money, but you stay in business. When you reach that "shut down" point is when you actually close up shop. For a place like Dominoes to reach that shut down point, it would take like a bunch of people to sue or something drastic like they stole Pizza Hut's recipe and got caught.

Im sure some large pizza chain would buy them out, take their market shares

[Beavis]

I haven't eaten Dominoes in years, but I give them props for shaking things up and trying to improve. I assumed they were doing well (gator's link on the first page confirmed it).

If I get pizza, I order from local places or make it myself. I'd rather eat a frozen DiGorno than Dominoes/Pizza Hut.

:rolleyes:

[Thorpesaurous]

Um, I haven't. It's not difficult to avoid.


Yeah, really. Particularly depending on where you're from. I can realistically say it's been 20 years since I've had a slice of dominoes pizza.

[Stuckey]

we dont got a lot of local pizza shops here in vancouver, and most of them are disgustingly bad

dominoes is ok, i just load it up with peppers meat and hot sauce, drown out the sub par elements of it

[Godzuki]

its over-seasoned tho. It feels like i'm eating breadstick pizzas, and if you eat enough of them it feels like you're filling yourself with some sodium based seasoning that just kills you afterward. Completely kills me where i got so much gas, and the other half of it tastes like butter. Its just too much for me.

[Godzuki]

I like those Domino's sammiches. They're tasty, sue me!


Yeah i got one of their oven baked chicken sandwiches and it was surprisingly good.

[LA_Showtime]

I guess I'm in the minority. I love pizza. I'll eat that shit from anywhere. It don't matter where it's made.

[LA_Showtime]

That new commercial is retarded. "Give us your thoughts by marking the box." --who's going to bother keeping the box and actually returning it so you guys can get feedback? Please.

Domino's remains the dominant player in the $12 billion domestic pizza delivery category. The company generates revenue through franchise royalties, company-owned stores, and sales from its 17 dough-manufacturing and supply-chain centers. Of the 8,729 stores in 60 countries as of March 2009, 4,498 are operated by domestic franchisees, 3,742 by international franchisees, and 489 are company-owned. Domino's posted $5.5 billion in systemwide retail sales in 2008.

In 1998, after 38 years of ownership, Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan announced his retirement and sold 93 percent of the company to Bain Capital, Inc. for about $1 billion and ceased being involved in day-to-day operations of the company.

You need to understand more about a business before speculating on their health.

Their current stock price is within about 10 cents of the 52 week high.

To Bain Capital, whether or not you buy a pizza is of minimal concern. If a store goes under, the franchisee takes the hit, not the company. Sure, the company loses on supply sales and franchise fees, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to the up-front fees they've already collected. Note that fewer than 500 of their nearly 9000 stores are company owned.

You must be a retard bra.

I work at Dominos and we are making more money than ever. You do realize it costs like 1 dollar to make a pizza and most idiots order delivery and it ends up being like 30 bucks for 2 pizzas.

[PHX_Phan]

Dominoes has awful pizza.

I doubt it kid. If it costs a dollar to make a pizza then they'd be giving deals for <$5 pizza's with the way the competition is.

[LJJ]

I prefer to do my own pizzas at home.

This.

Some tomato paste, fresh tomato, mozarella, basil, olive oil and whatever the fukc I like on that day.


OT: they have started opening up Domino's here too, but I have no idea why. Their pizza is just as bad as the cheap frozen ones from the supermarket.

[Rake2204]

I guess I'm in the minority. I love pizza. I'll eat that shit from anywhere. It don't matter where it's made.
I'm in the same boat. I feel like I'm supposed to be more refined than that and only like hometown gourmet pizza or something. Alas, I'm down for whatever. In high school I dated a girl who worked in a lame ice cream shop and they'd microwave pizza, give you a plastic fork, and wish you luck. I'd eat it all the time.

Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Little Caesars, Cottage Inn, Classic, Jet's, Papa John's. . .I'm good with all of them. I really do like Domino's new recipe though. That is my preference when I'm back home in Ann Arbor; used to be Cottage Inn, has changed though.

[vitamink420]

Nah for real though, Dominos is the shit. Why is everybody hating? I actually can't remember how their pizza tasted like before they changed their ingredient. I didn't even know they did, but I'll tell you want, its good as shit.

But I like all pizza. Pizza Hut, Dominos, Little Ceasars, local pizza, they all don't taste that mufch different where I have to have hate one of them. I like pizza, period.

lol u so mad, its weird since i figured you'd have a lot more estrogen in you than testosterone :oldlol:

You're such a girly dude its funny to me.

[Jackass18]

I'll take Domino's over either of Pizza Hut or Papa John's. I think Pizza Hut needs to come up with a new recipe. Their pizza is shit. I miss little Caesars. There doesn't seem to be many chain pizza places in my area, and I'm not familiar with some of the ones being mentioned in this thread. As for local shops, I generally go with calzones.

[Godzuki]

i'll probably be getting this deal for lunch today. Not that i like Dominos, much rather have a pan pizza from pizza Hut, but $7.99 for a 3 topping large pizza is a sick deal.

well i got the deal, realized its only mon-wed and pickup only, got thin crust this time just to change it up with pepperoni/sausage/greenpeppers, and after a few slices i'm feeling like shit. It wasn't bad going down tho.

Dominos people said they were dead, i was like i thought you'd be slammed with the deal, and the dude was like apparently they didn't get the memo.

[golddigger31]

Are those artichokes on there?

Artichoke hearts, yes.

[Bucket_Nakedz]

idk how well dominos is doing but i did try their pizza during the super bowl(at a friends house). i thought it was decent, the only thing i liked about it was the cheese.

i usually stick to local pizzerias, but my girl likes to eat papa murphys(west coast take-n-bake) and little caesers at times.

[shadow]

I like the new dominos. Far as cheap, chain pizza goes Dominos in my area are way better than the pizza huts & little ceasers (never tried Papa John). Everytime I eat Pizza Hut I feel like I want to puke, LC is decent.
I also like Domnios Pasta bowl and sandwiches which are pretty good.

[ALBballer]

Pizza at local places are pretty cheap. 2 cheese slices and a drink are about $5-6 in NY. I would never get that sh*t (Dominos, Pizza Hut) over a local joint.

[irondarts]

I will rarely order Pizza, but I admit if I do I go with Dominos most of the time because it's cheap and I like the new recipe better than the old one. Still, if I want Pizza I'll usually just go to the Local place a few blocks away and get 2 slices and a Drink for $5.00.

[bballer]

I always lol when people don't take advantage of the specials.


Today I was taking some lady's order.

She wanted one large pizza for delivery with 3 toppings. The total for that is like $20.

I was like um FYI if you get 2 mediums its 5 bucks cheaper and you get more pizza. She said she just wanted the large. :facepalm

This shit happens all the time. I try to help out the customer but they don't want to take advantage of the specials.

[mcrd101]

im surprised anyone says pizza hut is better than dominos. pizza hut tastes way overly greasy to me.

[bdreason]

Jsut for the record, private owners of Pizza Huts and Dominos do not like these crazy deals, and many can barely stay open. The reason Pizza Hut and Dominos are able to offer such crazy deals, is because they are subsidizing the losses from their American stores with International expansion, especially in Asia.
