Why I order at Domino's but not at any other food delivery service:
- Lowest minimum order value
- Fastest delivery (bc of own delivery guys)
- No perfect pizza but still great enough
- For me, ordering food == instant gratification == doesn't have to be healthy
- burnthrow 6y agoReading between the lines: Advertising. It's a bit silly to believe that Domino's is the only place offering fast, cheap, unhealthy delivery.
- mhh__ 6y agoIn the UK at least Domino's pizzas are basically exactly as good as they need to be. The garlic-hollandaise thing they come with is disgusting but the actual pizza itself is usually pretty good, if unhealthy. I enjoy making my own pizzas from scratch so I rarely order but the quality is impressive for the volume they have. The delivery times don't seem to be particularly different from Uber eats or similar.
- stuaxo 6y agoYeah, I don't get Domino's when I want good pizza, sometimes I get the urge to eat one, even though I know I will feel terrible afterwards, and I certainly don't try anything like hot dog filled crusts. I was surprised visiting Taiwan, the Domino's there is actually pretty passable.

- GordonS 6y ago> The garlic-hollandaise thing they come with is disgusting It really is unbelievably horrible. And every.single.time I order online and hit the checkout button, it pops up asking me if I want to add an extra large tub of it to my order! I order Domino's on occasion just because my kids like it, and the online ordering process is great, but I'm not a huge fan of their pizzas TBH. I find them very greasy, and strangely the quality seems to vary from time to time - sometimes the dough is thicker, sometimes it's a little undercooked etc. Also the pricing in the UK is weird. The official prices are actually pretty expensive, but there are always vouchers for 30% or whatever off. Annoyingly, this means I always have to buy more than I want to qualify for the voucher, because it ends up being cheaper to buy more.
- robotmay 6y agoDoes _anyone_ actually like that weird garlic sauce? I chuck them straight in the bin. Domino's is the only place that will deliver to me, being on the outskirts of the city. Luckily that Domino's is pretty good and reasonably low on the grease quota, compared to some I've had elsewhere. The one thing I do particularly like about that franchise is the cleanliness; I've been into the shop itself and it's really well kept, compared to some of the other "big" pizza places here.
- cm2012 6y agoI also agree its gross, but I've met a number of people who love it very much.
- angrais 6y agoWhat makes it gross for you?
- duval 6y agoWow what is wrong with me. I order the extra large tub every time. I absolutely love the sauce
- benbristow 6y agoDominos are ridiculously overpriced in the UK if you buy them straight. Same for Pizza Hut or Papa John's. Especially if you're single and just buying a pizza for one. The coupons/special offers are good but recently at least Dominos have started moving the minimum order for delivery from like ~£10 to ~£12+. Really expensive just for pizza! They used to do a 'build your own pizza' delivered for about a tenner medium/large size which was a godsend when I was in university halls. Barely use them nowadays, just get a decent fresh oven pizza from Tesco or the Co-Op. Shame because I used to like Dominos.
- cm2012 6y agoI live in NYC and order domino sometimes. Reasons: 1) Open late 2) Variety and style of toppings often better than traditional NYC pizza places. Ex. Dominos uses thin pepperoni that crisps on the edges, regular pizza places use fat ones that grease up your pizza. Dominos uses dried jalapeno, regular pizza places use pickled that gets some brine on your pizza. etc.

- fy20 6y agos/Dominos/McDonalds/g A few weeks ago my wife and I had a craving for a burger. We went to some hipster place, hoping for something a bit healthier than McDonalds. They said there was a 40 minute wait (for takeout), so we ended up getting McDonalds after all. There wasn't anyone else waiting there, but I assume they had orders queued up from delivery services. Still, it seems a bit stupid to tell someone in your restaurant to wait - even though you are probably getting more profits from them.
- dvtrn 6y agoAre “hipster place” burgers, once you account for the miscellaneous accoutrements factually and measurably healthier than say a McChicken per serving? (Arguably if your diet includes a lot of McDonalds regularly that answer is “probably lot not” but I mean 1:1 meals) Or is there a place where one could see some approximations? I’m curious as someone who loves the McChicken but knowingly keeps his consumption of them to a minimum.
- cm2012 6y agoHipster burgers are thicker with higher fat content, guaranteed to be more calories. They also usually have a brioche bun with more calories and a huge serving of "aioli" (mayo).
- st1ck 6y agoHigher fat content also means more satiating, so you won't feel hungry shortly after eating. If all of the ingredients are healthier than McD, that should be a clear win. OTOH I don't think burger is a good choice for a healthy meal anyway. I'd choose a hipster version primarily for taste and aesthetics.
- influx 6y agoIf you haven’t, watch the movie “The Founder” which tells the back story about McDonald’s and its efficiency.
