i had one their product once. i believe the box is made out of the same something that their "cheese" is made from.
when you reheat cheese it melts, their stuff doesn't.

i suggest you find some local one man store and you have a better chance to get a pizza.

the only one that will get screwed will be the delivery man. he won't get tipped.

Call 888-dominos and complain like i did. They said that they would like feedback on this issue. I also said that I wouldnt buy their product anymore until this fee is disbanded. They didnt want to hear that. Dont give your real name and address or they will have dominos flyers sent to your door everyday. I dont eat dominos anyway because its crap, but it doesnt mean that they are right in charging more.

Dominos is one of the worst pizzas of all time ... according to the artcile, their reasoning was that they had to charge for delivery, skimp on toppings, charge more for the pizza or reduce staff ... any of those options will cause some people to discontinue Dominos, but charging for delivery probably struck them as being the least negative option ... but, it wouldn't matter if their delivery charge were $10 or even $100 instead of $1 ... I'd not be likely to eat their stuff if they paid me ... I agree with Rick and have maintained for years that it didn't matter whether you ate the pizza or the box it came in ... your 'enjoyment' couldn't vary too much either way

I really don't care what they charge because I agree with Rick, the box probably is better than the damn pizza! We should buy these things and feed them to the detainees in Gitmo! (laughing to myself, thinking about Abdoul or Farjed trying to eat one of these bombs) Maybe they would like them after all! Charlie

A political debate over pizza now? .... and I thought Marla was guilty of threadjacking .... wouldn't this be considered boardjacking?

I think they should pay for you to eat their pizza.

I'll always remember their ads from a marketing class I took. "Fresh, Hot and Fast". Never once did they claim thier pizza was actually good. Truth in advertising does exist!

What a shame. Anyhow as a delivery boy for almost 2 years I feel even worse for Dominos delivery people. Not only do they have to wear uniforms and put that thing on their car, now they won't get tipped. Remember this always, don't piss off the delivery guy he transports your food, and knows your address!

if a delivery boy came to my house armed and wanting a problem, i think 2 in the chest and one in the head should take care of a lot. just hope he doesnt hold the pizza in front of his chest.

I agree with Rick. Absolutely the worst pizza in the world. This particular retailer was built on delivery (it really is the only thing that they have to offer and they don't offer eating at their location) and I believe they are making a mistake to charge for it. It would be more appropriate for them to raise their prices if they are making insufficient margins.
