For the last two weeks, I've seen the TV commercials claiming that Domino's finally realized their pizza was sub-par (a much too kind word for really bad!). The spots boast more flavorful sauce, a garlicy crust, and better cheeses. However, I'm sure many shared my thoughts: "Yeah, right!".
Well, last night I found myself at a networking mixer and, thanks to a day gone wild, I hadn't had a chance to eat lunch or dinner. To my delight, the room had a nice spread with food and drinks, so I scampered on over. There were cookies, deli sandwiches, chips...and Domino's pizza. I would have gone for the sandwich, but it was ham (and I'm a vegetarian). I hesitantly looked at the Domino's box and opened it up. Mushroom! Score! But, it was Domino's pizza so my excitement diminished. Truth be told, I don't think I've had their pizza in at least five years; vowing never to waste my money again on something so horrible.
Remembering the TV spots promising a better pizza, I opened the box back up and grabbed a slice. "Heck, I'll give it a try. Let's see if you can really taste a change." And, to my amazement, it was actually good! Let me repeat, my slice of Domino's pizza was downright tasty!
Yes, I know you're probably skeptical, but I highly encourage you to give it a shot. It has undoubtedly taken much too long for Domino's to make a desperately needed change to their recipe, but better late than never. Believe it or not, I'm actually gonna add the local Domino's to my speed dial now. Good pizza for $5.99? Now, that's what makes America great!
UPDATE May 4, 1010: Here's an interesting story from USA Today that says Domino's sales have gone up 14.3% since the new recipe was introduced.
Interesting! In Chicago we have soooo many good pizza places. I don't know if I can give Domino's another try. Of course now you have me curious!

ReplyDeletePerhaps I should provide the disclaimer that any Chicago pizza is likely to crush any "ordinary" pizza! But, for a chain recipe, the new Domino's pizza is pretty good.
I imagine your selection of tasty eats in Chi-town is excellent, so perhaps give the Domino's a try next time you're in the airport and need a snack!
Thanks so much for your scrumptious comment!
I've had the new pizza a couple times and have to say, I really like it. I love the new crust they are using.

ReplyDeleteHard to believe we're saying nice things about Domino's, huh? I agree, that crust was darn yummy! Thanks so much for chiming in on the discussion. I appreciate your comment!
The New pizza formula was a winning success for Domino's Pizza. It's just too bad that my store was closed after I reported theft taking place.. Check it out- http://knockingoverdominoswithpizza.blogspot.com/2010/02/easy-stealing-at-dominos-pizza.html
