Dominos does not deserve the hype. It tastes awful.

r/

I will never understand the popularity of Domino’s and people who get on their hands and knees for it claiming that it’s so “good”. It isn’t good, no ingredients are good… they all taste rotten, it doesn’t matter how fresh the pizza is. I recently gave Domino’s another shot when they released their new stuffed crust pizza… when I bit into it the amount of disgusting grease and oil that tasted old and not replaced was horrific. The pepperoni tastes like dog food. I thought maybe it was just mine so I tried another pizza I ordered that was entirely different, not even marinara sauce. I couldn’t sink my teeth into it, as soon as my tongue tasted the pizza I said nope.

I did not eat either pizza, I kept them to maybe minimum eat the crust but I couldn’t even do that, they both ended up being thrown away in the end after sitting in my fridge for days.

    Popular? More like “usually the cheapest and quickest option”. I don’t think anyone is hyping up Dominoes as good.

    As a heads up I’m not defending Dominoes, but their locations and quality varies from day to day. I’ve had dominoes that was quite decent and other times right in the trash.

    You know what’s crazy? I was just contemplating between getting Dominos or Little Cesar’s tonight.

  12. crimson777 Avatar

    Dominos is better than Pizza Hut and Little Caesars. It gets hyped up as good because of the big, cheap chains, it’s next to Papa John’s for being the best. Not because it’s better than your local spots and the like.

  13. 1WARMBEER Avatar

    What fucking hype has Dominos procured? No one loves Dominos…it’s just cheap and if they fuck up your pizza, they give you a free one almost no questions asked.

    Like who are you talking to that can’t wait to get their hands on Dominos? Dominos having hype is hilarious.

  14. WhereIsTheBeef556 Avatar

    Dominos is garbage all around. I would legit rather eat a grocery store frozen pizza that was heated up in the oven.

    Papa John’s is garbage. It’s also overpriced.

    Pizza Hut is IMO the most “okay-ish” generic chain pizza place.

    Little Caesars is slop. 7-11 pizza is marginally better quality slop.

    I live in California, California Pizza Kitchen is alright. It’s a bit overpriced, but it’s moderately better than Dominos and Papa John’s lmao

    The best places are smaller “mom and pop” type restaurants with the big New York Slice style pizza.

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone describe Dominos as good. It’s convenient and cheap. Some people will say “it’s fine” or are firm believers that “all pizza is good pizza.” I think it’s gross, but people aren’t wrong that it’s fast, convenient, cheap, and consistent.

    I’ve found that Dominos is better than Little Caesar’s and Pizza Hut.

    That’s all it has going for it. It is slightly better than two of the worst pizza chains.

    I buy dominoes and papa johns because they are cheap. Usually between rewards or sales i can get 3 medium 1 toppings under $20.

    It’s not great pizza, it’s more “acceptable” pizza. It’s cheap, filling and generally not offensive.

    That said,,your location sounds like they’re doing an incredibly shitty job.

    Yep Domino’s is the most disgusting pizza. The photos of the pizza in the ad always look good. But I’m not falling for that one again.

  38. effyochicken Avatar

    I’ll never understand how sensitive some people can be towards “whatever-food.”

    Like, I understand botched and disgusting food. Like a soft taco from Taco Bell, but they had it sitting so it’s literally soaking wet and disgusting.

    But if basic, not-that-great pizza from dominos gets this kind of visceral reaction? Must be hard to find anything that’s edible.

  39. wastelandingstrip Avatar

    I think you’re mistaking “hype” for “advertising” from Dominos, it’s not like if someone ask you a good place to eat, they’re gonna say Little Caesars or Roundtable.

    Tbh, I don’t know anyone who gets on their hands and knees for Dominos or any other fast-food chain pizza. People like it well enough or get it cause it’s cheap, usually widely available, and it’s pizza. But I can’t really say that I know anyone, muchless an overwhelming majority, who would die on the hill that Domino’s is the greatest ever.

  52. Rydgar Avatar

    Mostly agree except their 6-cheese pan crust pizza. One of the best cheese pizzas I’ve ever had.

  53. spicyfartz4yaman Avatar

    The hype is cuz it’s better than the other big 3, who are awful and ridiculously priced. Kind of like McDonald’s not good but better than burger king 

  54. VFiddly Avatar

    Hype?

    >and people who get on their hands and knees for it claiming that it’s so “good”.

    Who says this?

    Dominos is popular because it’s convenient and relatively cheap. For what it is, the pizza is fine, but nothing incredible.

    I’ve never met anyone who thinks Dominos pizza is better than actual restaurant pizza.

  55. Starchild2534 Avatar

    I like their pan pizza. Standard crust is too garlic-y for me

    Dominos doesn’t taste awful, it’s fine. A long way from the best, but if it was awful people wouldn’t eat it. It’s fine,

    I loved Dominos in college. because it was the late 90’s/early 2000s and it was the only place that would delivery to the dorms at midnight.

    But, I live in NY, so it’s terrible pizza. it’s a great drunk/high snack, but it shouldn’t be compared to actual real pizza.

    I don’t think Dominos is great, but I’ll occasionally have it because it’s just consistently ‘okay’. I know exactly what I’m getting with them, virtually no variation in delivery times, ingredients, how its cooked, and the service.

    I had one the other day for the first time in years … it was delicious

  65. daviedoom Avatar

    I like Dominos, but I never hype it up.

    Chain pizza places have a high floor and low ceiling imo. The most expensive pizza from the best place doesn’t taste that much better than the cheapest from the worst, so I prioritize pricing and deals when I order.

    Dominos $6.99 two or more deal is pretty much unmatched in value given the amount of options you have access to, pizza or otherwise. So they’re often my first choice when it comes to the Chain options. As long as the location is consistent in their quality.

    In what universe is Dominos considered “good”? It’s meant to be affordable, mid-ass pizza, and it delivers. It’s meant to feed your screaming children or your stoned friends for little money and little effort.

    Dominoes is the only no-go for me. I’d take no pizza over dominoes (and i love pizza). I 100% agree with you op

    Easily the best pizza chain out there today but ok. Meanwhile little ceasars is so bad its almost inedible and borderline dangerous to consume with extremely high amounts of trans fat in literally everything, pizza hut is just trash in general, papa johns is extremely overpriced and marcos is just cardboard drowned in grease

    This frozen pizza, that I get for 3$ in my country is probably better than any chain pizza you’ve ever eaten. Hell it’s better than most pizzas in pizzerias here. It’s woodfired pizza. Idk if they sell them where you are but it is worth it. Just throw whatever topping you like and heat in an oven for a few mins.

    Years and years ago the town I lived in did a “test truck” of Dominos pizza, and sold small pizzas for $5 a pop.

    My best guess was they were checking to see if there was enough interest to open up a franchise in town.

    They were actually pretty damn good! I drove past their set-up on my way home from work each day and would get me a few pizzas each Friday for the weekend.

    Eventually they did open up shop in a building downtown and we had reached the SWITCH part of the scam. Suddenly the pizza was fucking terrible as well as more expensive. And they closed just before a full year of business.

    I’ve had Dominos pizza in 2 separate countries now, and other than that one food truck, it’s a hot circle of garbage world wide. I’d rather spend more money at any other pizza shop than buy even their cheapest option.

    Dominos is good if you order extra sauce and extra cheese. Then it becomes a real pizza. HOWEVER, the price skyrockets and you pay more than what you would for a real pizza from an independent place.

    They used to be absolute trash, and then they redid their recipe and did a little marketing and their food improved a bit. I’d take it over Little Caesars, but that’s all it’s meant to compete against. On another note I’m glad Pizza Hut went bankrupt, their pizza was greasy garbage.

Do you know what cooking processes and ingredients are?
