Why would anyone WANT to buy Domino's Pizza, unless it was a dire emergency
and there was no other choice?

I was grossed out when my vacation friends ordered Pizza Hut pizzas. $15 for
3 medium "one topping" pizzas still doesn't sound like pizza.

I ate a slice of plain greasy cheese pizza.

Samoans are NOT foodies!!!

Unfortunately the same can be said for many/most? USAians.

In "dire emergencies" (I'm thinking earthquake, fire, flood, tornado,
hurricane, snowstorm, ice storm) I can't imagine you'd even have that
choice. And it's not much of a choice, come to think of it.

Would every Domino's pizza place burning down to the ground all at once
constitute an emergency or a miracle?

We've been through this before. You love Domino's because you've never had
anything better. Whole segments of the population are this way. It's
unfortunate.

Darned unfortunate! We used to have a couple of real pizza parlors
around here; now they're all Dominos, Godfather's, Pizza Hut, ad
nauseum. Luckily DH has taken DS back East, so he's had a decent
pizza before...

Some people actually like Domino's even when given a choice. I worked
with a guy who thought Domino's, McDonalds, and Dinty Moore Soups were
there best. When he microwaved the soup I had to leave the office it
smelled so bad. I made some real soup once and brought him a bowl and
he didn't like it. <shrug> One day he was bragging that he was
taking his family out to dinner at McDonald's that night. I asked why
he didn't consider a real restaurant. I got the "deer in the head
lights look" and he said: "Why? McDonalds has the best burgers."

You can't argue with that kind of thinking.

No, you really can't. They're the same "folks" who think Bush is perfectly
literate, and let their kids watch him. It's really the same thing.

Yep. As usual, Joe is full of big stupid assumptions. The only pizza I like
better than Domino's is home made, here in Raleigh at a Mom n Pop
called Piccola Italia.

Lately, Domino's has been especially good. Very thin, tender crust that
is actually lightly crisped on the outside--on the bottom of the crust.
Mmmm.

We get mushrooms, green pepper, and ham on it. There is something rich and
wonderful about the cheese. Papa John's sucks to me--mostly crust, icky
seasonings. The thing is, it is all subjective.

If anyone comes to Raleigh and has to stop (heh) Piccola Italia is worth a
stop. I like pizza with light but crisp crust and pretty heavy on the
toppings, medium on the tomatos sauce, heavy on the seasonings. What brand
you like depends on things like this, I think.

Joe, Domino's made it to the top because it delivered (no pun
intended) what people wanted.

How awful! Sounds like you live in suburbia. ICK! That's why I
didn't move to Sacramento during the years my hubby was actively
campaigning to do it. Unless I lived in the heart of downtown,
everything was malls filled with chain stores. <and no "there" there>

You're right, it's subjective. We order a pizza that has ground
chicken, mushrooms and garlic. Sauce and cheese are understood, but I
get miffed when they overdo the cheese. I don't want gobs of it, just
a smidge... same goes for the tomato sauce.

I'd *love* to visit Raleigh someday. A good friend moved there ages
ago and I haven't visited her yet. I could make it a twofer if I did!

Used to be, you could ask for a pizza to be "light on cheese"
and they would comply. Now, it seems like this request is
mostly ignored.

Just another area of life where standards have plummeted.

Oh, no Steve.... they are definately sticking to their standards.
Customer request isn't one of them.

Here is something to think about. Big box places "made it" solely
because they have the money to buy the mindshare that they are good.

Papa John's seems very wet and greasy to me. Absolutely nothing to
recommend it. But my personal belief is that any store of a chain, using
the same standard franchise ingredients can either make darn near perfect
food or really screw it up and make garbage. If you have access to several
stores of a grocery chain, don't you know which one to go to in order to get
the best baked goods, freshest seafood, etc.? I like one particular
Domino's pizza from the store closest to me. The crust is crisp, just the
right amount of sauce, not overwhelmed with cheese and a good balance of
toppings -- and cooked until it's hotter than a pistol. The pizza is
consistent. That means that the owner/manager is on the spot with training
and supervision. Makes all the difference in the world. We have access to
a local pizza place that originated at the nearby famous ski resort. The
food just isn't consistent. I'm sure it is when prepared at the ski resort
or they wouldn't have developed the reputation they have, but is just isn't
always good when prepared here.

That seems to be standard big box pizza. I think (and everyone I know
says) that a good crust defines a good pizza. Somewhere along the way
the big box places introduced adding inches of multiple toppings onto
the wonder bread crust and declared they were making pizza.

We even have two local places that make fabulous pizza where you can't
even order extra topping.

I only disagree with the word, "solely." Better to say, mostly.
I have often thought that one huge difference between public radio and
commercial radio, is that the commercial stations are aimed at folks
who are more susceptible to advertising.

Unfortunately, that has happened in the USA with certain political
issues, such as health care.

Aha! Someone using her head instead of painting with the broad brush.

This is exactly it. I used to hate Domino's because it was thick, gummy
crust and grease. But the one we order from here does a great job. I am
talking just enough sauce and toppings, and a tender but light and crisp
crust. Fantastic, never soggy, just as good the next day.

Mid 40's, but very immature. I learned very quickly to not eat with
him as it was like eating with a 3 year old. You can't change these
kind of people. It's easier to ignore them.

I've been to Raleigh and Winston-Salem. Hardly pizza capitals. My
friends in W-S claim that they can do better by purchasing a Bobli
crust and making it at home. That's pretty sad IMO. Regional ting I
guess.

In a sense, it does. It relates to a kind of laziness that allows many
people to accept mediocrity rather than expending a bit of effort to get
something better.

Where in my post did I claim that Raleigh is a Pizza Capital? I said there
is one restaurant that makes pizza I like. I've lived in several and visited
many of the big, generally hideous cities that have huge Italian populations
and "real pizza made by real Italians." The "quality" (read, "whether they
make them the way I like them") varies as much as Domino's franchises.

Raleigh is more a Moon Pies 'n bbq sorta place, no relatively knowledgeable
person in one the "hideous big" cities would prefer Dominoe's...

And by "big, generally hideous cities" are you thinking along the lines of
say, Chicago, or Paris, Tennessee...???

I also agree Bush has nothing to do with this.

You have nice thoughts but none of that is available from either red or
blue because we have the best government money can buy.

I thought it could be too strong but there isn't much else that explains it.

For example some friends were going to NYC and asked for restaurant
recommendations. I gave them two suggestions convenient to where they
were going. The next time I saw them I asked how things went and they
announced they saw a TJ Friday and just had to eat there although NYC
has some of the best restaurants on earth (that also don't spend $5
Million/week telling you how good they are).

Or my neighbor wanting to buy some lumber for a project he was doing. He
said he was off to the "depot" (a 20 minute ride from here). I asked why
he wasn't going to the local lumber yard that was a 5 minute ride away
and got a deer in headlights look. This was the same guy who admired the
quality of the lumber that was delivered in my driveway for a deck and
said "you must have been at the "depot" all afternoon picking this out.
He couldn't grasp that I ordered the lumber from the local place via ana
email and not only was it less expensive every piece was good. I
explained that the local yard only buys good wood and no
picking/selecting is required.
