    May as well straight up say “Were confident we use the cheapest ingredients available, and we couldn’t possibly pay our staff less!”

    Every few years I try Domino’s again to make sure my avoidance of them is justified and every time I’m reminded how right I am. Before you think I’m just a pizza snob, I like and semi regularly get Pizza Hut.

      Honestly it’s better than it was. They’re still not even in my top 5, local pizza shop over chain any day of the week, but if you’re in a tight place financially, you can get a good meal for very cheap

        They don’t have much consistency across franchises. All the Domino’s range from edible to garbage to utter garbage.

        What we have noticed (with all pizza shops, probably most franchises takeaway shops) is; A) they open with original Franchisees. Food quality is great and price is appropriate. B) they start replacing managers with casual staff paid nothing. C) Franchise gets sold. D) new franchise owners skimp on everything and quality goes down significantly.

        The problem is that if you skimp on cheap ingredients for a Souvlaki GR or Burgled, the quality goes from fantastic, to mediocre, to meh. Dominos starts at Mediocre, crashes to Shit immediately after the honeymoon period.

    Yeah, but good luck finding a coupon for cardboard from Staples. They know they have all the power…

    Jokes aside, there’s actually a possibility of getting decent deals with this. I seem to recall both pizza hut and Domino’s doing similar things in the past, but I haven’t seen any of these signs in ages, so I just assumed they’d stopped doing it

    This is the Sebastopol Domino’s if anyone happens to be out that way and has some coupons for other pizza shops

      Eh, any “deal” that includes you ending up with a Domino’s pizza isn’t really a deal.
