Used to deliver for them, can confirm all the above. Some other stuff:
Yes there’s less of each individual topping when you order a bunch of different toppings, but I promise you that you don’t want a normal amount of each topping on your supreme pizza. The center would still be raw, probably even if you put it through twice.
The 50% weeks are mostly a scam. It’s usually cheaper to use the other good coupons (e.g. mix and match) than to take 50% off normal menu price
Unless you’ve got a big/otherwise pain in the ass to deliver order, a $10 order is just as much work to deliver as a $60 order. I personally tip based off distance rather than total because of it, and most my coworkers also preferred this method.
Brooklyn pizzas are just normal pizzas using dough 2 sizes smaller (for example an XL brooklyn is just a medium dough stretched thin). In general if you’re looking to maximize food per dollar, normal hand tossed is what you want
For the love of God don’t buy soda from the store if there’s a gas station or something that’s not out of the way. It’ll be half the price at most.
The dishes probably aren’t being cleaned properly. If you’re lucky your local store has 1, maybe 2 closers who actually give a shit and try to do it right. I imagine that’s pretty standard in food service though.
If you order delivery 2 minutes before close, you’re braver than I. I had a hard policy of don’t fuck with peoples food but not everyone does, and you sure as fuck aren’t getting it on time.
I worked at Domino’s for 6 months and was the closer who actually gave a shit about dishes, 5 nights a week. They fired me for mixing up what day I was scheduled, once. I was easily the best driver/closer at the time, LMAO.
If we actually took an order 2 minutes before close, it was always the fastest delivery of the night. Those orders literally never tipped me more than $1.50. Even the people who apologized for doing it.
Not sure what the chicken thing is about, we didn’t do it whatever way he was saying.
Specialty chicken may have been different depending on the franchise. At mine, the opening driver would prepare a tub of it by literally cutting the boneless chicken in half.
And yeah, being seemingly the only person in the store who gives a rats ass about food safety suuuucks. The amount of times I ended up redoing the entirety of the night before’s dishes because the closer didn’t give a fuck was insane. I never did that shit to help the company, I just was never going to be the reason people got sick.
does the first also apply to toppings that are already small (e.g other cheese options)?
e.g if you had a 2 topping pizza, and it was some cheese(e.g asiago) and a topping of choice, would the toppings still be minimized despite one of the ingredients barely taking up space
Can’t remember for sure, but I believe they didn’t start reducing til 3+ toppings. Dont remember if cheese was treated special or not, I was rarely the one making the pizzas. General rule of thumb, the total amount of toppings is going to be relatively the same past 3 toppings.
After enough people kept asking me how much to tip because I was working/worked as a delivery driver I created the following
Consider how much you don’t want to go get it yourself. Put an actual dollar amount on that. If it’s just a buck or two, bite the bullet and just go get it. Otherwise, tip that amount.
I think a lot of people $10 don’t want to go get their own food when they’re considering delivery.
Well, my dominos is like a mile away, so that’s like 10 min of my time. So that’s worth like $5 tops, and delivery is about that much anyway.
So are you saying I just shouldn’t order delivery since I’m not likely to tip more than $1-2? I’d much rather give $2-3 to a tip jar and pick it up myself if that’s going to be better for everyone.

I’ve never fucked with people’s food; but I also never fuck with people who fuck with my food… cause I’m not dumb like that lol
I would suggest avoiding the clam chowder tonight
