As someone who doesn't own quantities of gold and doesn't travel around the world much the true price of anything for me is GBP. I think a lot of people would think the true price of something is that of their local currency. I don't know what America is like. In the UK the Domino's website is very good, very easy to use. Sure you can use BitCoin but I don't understand why someone would want to use BitCoin and pay a premium to do it.

If they are hungry, low on cash, and have bitcoins?

  They would be better off exchanging the bitcoins and using Dominos.com directly.

    Aha! We have our niche. The perfect service for people with bitcoins, who want Pizza, who do not have any cash or any means of converting bitcoins into cash (bank accounts). I suppose it has a novelty value. Its also a middle finger to anyone you have shown bitcoins to who have said you can't buy anything with them.

      You are severely misunderstanding the use cases of bitcoin

      If you bought bitcoins when they were significantly cheaper and wanted to avoid taxes converting them back to your currency, this would have value.

They don't want other people to know they are buying pizza?

  Who would know? At least on the UK version of the website you can pay with cash on arrival. This would remove any credit trial. Even without a credit trial Dominos would have a record of a pizza being delivered to your address.

  I thought bitcoin transactions were signed with a personal key and added to a blockchain which is distributed to every bitcoin user worldwide? If somebody can match your key to your person they can see your entire purchase/sell history.

Yes, some traceability is inherent to blockchain crypto-currencies. But using them anonymously is still easier than with any other electronic payment method.
