"Revamped" Dominos Pizza: Can this possibly be any good?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH5R56jILag

Anyone tried it? Chances I will are slim with Grimaldi's, Sal's, Sam's and Lucali's all in walking distance not to mention a bunch of other decent mom and pop places. Still curious though.

Yay another darker edgier reboot.

can't lie, I'm curious, but there's no doubt there'll be corn syrup in the sauce & probably in the crust, so fuck no

I don't think I've ate any Dominos pizza since the eighth grade, so why start now?

i ate it without knowing it was gonna be new & different, and the only difference i noticed was that the crust definitely tasted like garlic powder. kind of a negative, i guess, but they surely must offer an option to have a different crust?

my dining companion thought the sauce was spicier but i couldn't tell.

The worst thing about Domino's pizza that pushed it over the line for me of being edible was the weirdly bready, artificial-tasting crust (as is noted in above video) - if they didn't fix that I don't see the point.

did they stuff more stuff in the crust? like a whole other pizza inside the pizza crust?

i saw a dominos delivery guy today and there was nothing revamped about him or his boxes.

Their commercials always make me want to order pizza though. Goddamnit I'm hungry I need to fix myself something.

if it wasn't for Domino's my time in Louisiana would suck, everything thing in La. besides Domino's Cheese Pizza has fish in it

you wait 'til I'm head of Domino's in Louisiana

Boiled Beef Pizza

I worked at Domino's for five years, and just smelling that very distinct Domino's Pizza smell now makes me wanna barf. The only way I'd eat it now, regardless of recipe or ingredient changes, it if they changed their name.

Oh shit, when I delivered for Domino's we had a house very similar. The husband would stand in the corner and watch while you pleased the wife.

please expand on this, Johnny Fever

NO!

Other than to say that when they ordered pizza they were just regular customers, but when they ordered hot wings it was ONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

"the pizza turnaround"

x-post Idk Louis, I think he was pretty clear with that explanation right there tbh. What kind of details are you fishing for exactly?

HAHAHAHA - that reminds me of the extra anchovies thing in Patrick Dempsey's masterpiece "Loverboy".

What thread was that from?

enbb you just answered yourself :D

three-way thread live and exclusive to iltmi

It's on the TMI board. xp

lmfao

I live in New Jersey. I think its a crime here to eat Dominos.

hard to come back from this:

and can't lie, I'm curious, but there's no doubt there'll be corn syrup in the sauce & probably in the crust, so fuck no = so very otm

It's an interesting marketing angle: "You told us we suck and we admit it!" But yeah, I haven't ordered a Domino's since the early 80s, and this won't change that.

I ordered one a few months ago; it tasted like an old Birkenstock.

that video is hilarious. "you told us our product sucks so we worked our normal paid hours to figure out how to make pizza!" like wtf, who would trust a pizza company who didn't know in the first place?

those ads always make me uncomfortable, like they're trying to make u feel so bad for them that u eat their pizza out of pity

nooooo not CORRRRRRRRRRRN SYRUPPPPPPPPP IN MY DOOOOOMMMMINOOOOOOOOOS

this is my biggest snacking-related pet peeve these days, people who are like, really mad about CORN SYRUP

The problem with the marketing angle is that if they didn't really get it right this time they've kind of shot themselves in the other foot.

you guys realize that lots and lots of people eat Domino's right

STOP CLUTTERING UP THIS THREAD WITH FACTS

this was the first thing i thought when i saw the commercial. slathering some salty garlic powder compound on the crust wasn't what their pizza needed.

As an elitist I am shocked, shocked.

Yay another darker edgier reboot.

this exclamation made me have dystopian pizza fantasies last night

i want pizza

I ate Papa John's on Tuesday. Yummo!

this is my biggest snacking-related pet peeve these days, people who are like, really mad about CORN SYRUP

keep livin out there on the edge canks

I like Papa John's

yours englanderly
me

quite honestly, Papa John's is a big dick

when I order pizza, I prefer not to receive a big dick instead; I actually do want a pizza

so you're not one of Johnny Fever's customers

so are pizza hut, papa john's and dominoe's like the big three on the nat'l level? is little ceaser's still kickin?

when I order pizza, I prefer not to receive a big dick instead

you don't have to be coy about asking someone to post bigsausagepizza.jpg

Little Caesar's disappeared from the area here, but is now back with a somewhat different presence. I think they specialize in those "ready to go" pizzas where you walk in, request pepperoni or whatever, and they immediately hand you a pizza.

unfortunately that pizza is a mushroom pizza and the crust is made out of saltines

Ugh, yeah.

My new house is about two blocks away from Papa John's, so I've shamefully ordered from there twice in the past month. We have a local chain (Northern Lights) that varies in quality but has a few specialty crust treatments and items (ok, they just coat the crust in asiago or something as an option, and they have 'scooby snacks' which are little pizza rolls) but their pizza can be pretty decent and is cheap.

But yeah, local places beat the hell out of a chain on the regular.

slathering some salty garlic powder compound on the crust wasn't what their pizza needed.

counterpoint: oh yes it was! mmmmmmm

Our neighborhood Domino's is awesome. They handwrite their own coupon flyers in English and Spanish and they look like notes from high school girls* when you find them on your front door. Aside from this, they offer ridiculously cheap specials for carryout.

*because they literally are

is this revamp going to help get more bread into more bowls y/n

they also have volcano-themed desserts of some kind! i think it's a tie-in with the upcoming dune sequel i dream about.

http://www.noahgarfinkel.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/breadbowl.jpg

wtf is/was this?

hell on earth

Weird; they misspelled "bowel obstruction" in the ad.

that shit makes me irrationally angry but really if you're going to pay domino's to boil some pasta for you, you deserve what you get

weird.

it's like, bread, with more bread inside of it.

*salivates*

That image was meant to move, right? Mystery flavors in the background.
I should just assume they're all cheese flavored brown things, right?

Oh um yeah these aren't very good.

Do not ask me why I know this.

If Im paying $6 for bread and mac & cheese it better be some killer Soul Food style goodness not this mass produced shit.

i kind of want one of those right now

Ugh. Delete humanity.

Then again I have moral issues with chip butties and crisp sandwiches, so...

i think some soft-focus blurred out text in the ad above says chicken carbonara, just in case your cleanliving pasta and plain ol' breadbowl doesn't cut it

no, definitely still want one of these

lol

I kind of want to try it

one of each

i don't even know if they offer them anymore. i learned of it through someone's year-old blog entry

Oh um yeah these aren't very good.

Do not ask me why I know this.

lol. uh-oh

so this Pizza tracker tells me that R0g3r 5051 is making my order.

that's some The Prisoner esque tagging there!

so much to answer for

Can we have a brief chat about regional differences in chain pizza menus? Dominos is a necessary evil/gross luxury in my world, roughly three times a year when my wife is away and I'm shitfaced. It's always disappointingly ordinary, but I'm fanatical about how ordinary it is. I even recorded myself doing an "unboxing"-style video last year:

https://vimeo.com/225707442

The most recent time, about three or four days ago, I really struggled to find anything to order. This is a company that hasn't moved on in the past 10 years, at least in Canada. Here's an excerpt screenshot of their menu:

Meanwhile, recently I somehow decided to look at the menu for Dominos Australia. It's full of comparatively inventive and modern pizzas. The design and functionality of the website is much better, everything about it is better. Here's an excerpt screenshot of their menu:

http://imgur.com/a/VMnH9

Why would Dominos be so different in Canada and in Australia? I can't believe that competition would be so much higher in AUS than it is here that they actually offer a broader and more interesting range of pizzas...

Sorry, Canadian:

And Australian:

Fuck it, I don't know.

when my wife is away and I'm shitfaced.

You did pretty well in that unboxing video, considering.

I'm surprised how lucid I seemed, yeah.

Dominos in Australia is complete garbage imo but they can churn stuff out and deliver it for a quarter to half the price of any local shop.
