My past experiences with Dominos have not been good. My general opinion of Dominos has been it has been slightly above Chuckie Cheese’s which is one step above cardboard with pizza sauce. Not very good. As you might of heard Dominos has been heavily advertising that they have recognized this opinion (it’s about time) and are introducing a new crust. I was skeptical about this claim, but being the capitalist I am in you give me a good deal and toss in a coupon for a free side of cinnamon bread and you get a second chance. Going to the dominos website I was able to find a coupon for a large American Legend pizza for $12.99, searching on the internet I was also able to find the coupon code for a free side of cinnamon bread (the code I used was 9054, should work for anyone buying a large pizza online). The online ordering process was something new for me. They have this feature where you can build your pizza online. In our case we ordered a Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch took off the tomatoes and added onions. When you are done ordering online they have this little tracker app in which you can see your pizza being made online. It’s pretty cool because you can tell exactly at what stage your pizza is being prepared and plan accordingly. For us it meant we knew exactly what time to be at our local Dominos so that are pizza was still hot, but yet we didn’t have to wait for it. The pizza itself was definitely better. I am still more of a fan of Round Table as far as large chain type pizza goes, but Dominos is a lot cheaper than Round Table. I would have to say that Dominos is about par with Pizza Hut now. The crust is a lot more spongier and you can tell that they are no longer cheaping out on the cheese and sauce, which is really important in my opinion. Overall I am bumping up my pizza rating for Dominos from a 1.5 to 3.5 out 5. Not the best ever, but definitely worth checking out.
So, do you have a favorite pizza chain? If so, which one and why?
BTW, I was not paid nor endorsed by any of the companies I have mentioned in any way. My opinions are solely my own and do not reflect in any way the opinions of the companies I have mentioned.
I love the stuffed crust pizza at Pizza Hut, but it is a heart attack in a box. Californa Pizza Kitchen has some interesting combinations, but my favorite pizza is from Redlands’ own Gourmet Pizza Shoppe on State Street.
Great tip, thank you. I am in the process of making a video about Redlands and I will definately have to include that Gourmet Pizza place on the list.
