The new Dominos Pizza

JE3146 · 01-15-2010, 06:37 PM

Just wanted to give a heads up for those that hate dominos.

Tried their new pizza and it's easily now the best pizza of the national chains IMO.

Very tasty for the price. While it won't beat out a couple of our local gourmet chains, I will say that it's probably now the 3rd-4th best pizza in my college town when we have easily over 20 pizza places within the city limits.

What changed, Jordan? Haven't seen any promotions.

Really? They have been all over the tv and radio around here. They have new hand-tossed seasoned dough, a new robust sauce and real shredded cheese.

Not only that but the toppings are better too.. at least some. The olives are now very good.

Pineapple and pepperoni appear to be the same, but overall it's very obvious they tried to improve this thing.

As opposed to "fake shredded cheese"?

Or just fake cheese?

I think they actually used frozen cheese previously, and have now switched to fresh grated. Though I may be wrong.

Ok, but how was that not "real"?

oil based cheese instead of milk based cheese. Also known as cheese food

Thanks. So they were actually using that crap all these years...

That explains a lot.

I would like to give them a try. I give them credit for actually listening to the people and doing a complete over-haul of their product.

srduggins · 01-15-2010, 06:46 PM

Thanks, I've seen the commercial and was wondering about it. Now I need to find a Dominos near me.

weak_link · 01-15-2010, 06:58 PM

I was wondering if the changes made a difference, soundss like I need to place an order.

Don Fernando · 01-15-2010, 07:04 PM

Domino sucks IMHO. And yes Jordan, I can have an opinion on these, as we have Domino's here too.

A company that puts out a TV add like this should fire their marketing manager.

I am very happy that Domino's did not air this ad in my area. Besides the annoyance factor, it would force me to never patronize them ever again...

I have never cared for them either Ferdie.

replicant_argent · 01-15-2010, 07:21 PM

Quite frankly.. Any change whatsoever would be a change for the better, in my opinion. I might try it. Papa Murphys is our pizza of choice here, and it would take a pretty big leap in quality of ingredients and crust improvements to equal it.

Starscream · 01-15-2010, 07:27 PM

Just tried it. Not bad. Not great, but better than before. The sauce isn't as sweet and the crust has parmesan sprinkles all over it.

It's more of a garlic-parmesan-butter spread over the crust.

The sauce has a bit of bite to it as well. Definitely not sweet anymore. More spicy in stead. Crust is actually doughy as well.

Exactly.

Kind of a cross between Pizza Hut and Papa John's. Don't know if that's going to be a good thing for Domino's or not.

Kinda my take on the "New and Improved" also. Better than before, though, so that much at least is good. Especially seeing that Dominos is the only pizza place we have in my small town.
