Domino's pizza prices may rise

Up by £2

Our local domino's has already put up prices. They were charging £10 for a large pizza if collected but it has now gone up to £12

yeah whatever

dominos have been scamming people for years its like 13 quid for a pizza, and if you buy online you arnt entitles to offers such as BOGOF or 2nd pizza half price etc. its a scam i bet i could buy all the ingredients in say a mighty meaty make it myself and the cost (including power consumption" would proably be 10 quid but id have enough for about 8 pizzas! its a farce that they are still in buissness for selling a substandard product for twice the price as everyone else. theres a take-away near me who uses the butchers next door for its meat, you can get a 14" pizza for 5quid and 2 for 7. id like to add that the butchers is also pretty famous. so again dominos you suck

Jeysus

Dominoes pizzas use the cheapest, nastiest, ingredients they can find and sell them for 2-3 times the price of every other pizza place?? Even the cardboard box they give you the pizza in is flimsy and cheap feeling compared to others (although its possible those little plastic spacers cost £5 each, most other places just use rigid cardboard so they are not needed). I don't know how they have the cheek to say rising costs are forcing them to increase the price even further?

"street rioting by Pepperoni Passion junkies"

large pepperoni passion is 2000 calories, 200 per slice, won't stop me eating them and running down the street

Hmmmmmmm......Pizza.......Drooooolllll

As a Part Time employee of Domions I have have to be careful what I say expecially regarding the 'fairly extortionately-priced' pizzas. I also have to not sound like I am advertising them.

With exception to management we are all on minimum wage (which has just gone up). Also fuel prices have gone up (more expensive deliveries). These two things alone mean that the higher management have to raise the prices to make sure that they receive bonuses sorry achieve store targets (Slip of the fingers there).

Also some stores within a Francise lose money which are kept running by the more profiting stores. Why keep them open you ask, because the francise I work for are eager to keep good people in jobs. The staff at Dominos work very hard at times (it is not unusualy for a driver to drive between 100-150 miles in one busy night in an 8 hour shift, most homes are within 3 miles of the store)

All indregiants are fresh, even the meat is pre cooked, quick freezed and only has a 4 day life from delivery.

It is a booming business and most customers will not worry about an extra 50p as we do give a good service.

As for unhealthy well according to the govenment claims nothing is good for you. However there was one Gentleman who ordered a small Pizza 1000 nights running (yes one thousand). What was even more amazing is that before he started eating pizzas he had had a heart bypass (he used to show off his scar). Only gave the drivers a 1p tip a time though the tight git ;-)

No doubt people will think I am Biased but thats to be expected. I eat them (and yes even employees have to pay for them)

Bloody Dominos

I prefer Pizza Hut. The last two times I ordered from Dominos they got the order completely wrong - and when you're paying so much for the damn things you'd think they'd at least get it right. Plus our drivers are very rude, and 'never carry any change' - my arse.

Pizza Hut is much better. Affordable and the flavour's better.

Idea

Maybe if they start selling these I'll frequent them.

Worst pizza I have ever eaten

They might be cheap here in Oz, but Dominos are without a doubt the worst pizza I have ever eaten. Eating the box would probably be more flavoursome.

"you arnt entitles to offers such as BOGOF"

Let me help. The fellow you spoke with on the telephone was telling you to "BOG OFF." If you speak like you type, I can understand why.

Random Domino Rumours

I had a friend who was a manager at Dominos. I can't validate if these are true, but here's some things I've been told:

* Including, ingredients, rent, electricity, franchise fees, wages, etc. A pizza costs about $2.30 to make (A bit more than a pound)

* If you calculate average kms travelled multiplied by the Australian Tax Office's Guide to the expense of running a car (About 50c a kilometre), any employee using their own car to deliver pizzas was actually losing money. (I.e paid $12 an hour, but driving more than 24 km in a hour?)

* When cooking a peperoni pizza about 150ml of oil is drained off the top before serving.

* Because they don't want their trays to rust, they don't completely clean oil off the baking dishes. However, in his particular store, this attracts vermin... Even if it didn't I wouldn't like to think about bacteria. No wonder about one in five times I eat dominoes I get sick... I've gone gourmet pizza for a while now, a couple bucks more, but so much better!

USA

Well, I live in the USA, and while I can honestly say that our country has gone downhill in many ways in the last 8 years or so, in the region where I live, I can get a 2-item large pizza (high quality, not Domino's) for >$10 US. (or probably about 6 quid British) USA, land of the mostly free, home of the obese!

Domino's is site dependant.

I've tried Domino's in 4 different places of the UK.

I have to say it's site dependant.

Nottingham = ok pizza, BOGOF.

Eastbourne = good pizza, no deals

Birmingham = god pizza, free garlic bread normally.

London = box full of melted cheese, couple of bits of cigarette but and spittle.

Where I live I went on a stint of eating 1 domino's a day for a month, and not just a normal sized domino's a large dominator texas barbeque. Possibly the fattest bastard pizza ever. Needless to say I didn't have many beer tokens on the weekend during that period.

Normally the best pizza shops are the independants, it seems to me it's all about building a friendship with the makers of your pizza.

DIY

For the first time I actually made some DIY pizzas the other night. Only cheated and bought the bases. Made up a tomato sauce with loads of veggies in it (best way to get the kids to eat them) blended the sauce, got the kids to help add what they wanted on their pizza, drizzle some garlic olive oil on top and voila - ten minutes later some very delicious home made pizza -quicker than domino's could fleece your wallet.

I don't think I will buy another delivery pizza again and I now have enough tomato based sauce for weeks of pizza and pasta :)

Hungry now and its only 9:01 :(
