Domino’s Pizza

PROS: I live in old Jefferson and the delivery distance is really short, so my wait time is extremely short and correlates with their online pizza tracker.
My usual orders:
Build your own:
Gf pizza with reg cheese, and hearty marinara sauce, ham and extra pineapple
or
Gf pizza with white sauce, light cheese, double feta, double spinach, regular onion, regular chicken, light black olives. It’s a $ 20 pizza, but it’s loaded with the good stuff!
Thin crust pizza with mushrooms, onions, and Asiago cheese. I discovered that flavor profile is pretty awesome and even better with the low price.
If you order two or more large pizzas, definitely use the domino’s coupons. They end up costing $ 7 for just cheese pizzas which is cheaper and much more convenient than buying your own pie crust, rolling it out, baking it etc, etc. After delivery I add my own toppings customized to what I feel/​want, sprinkle with a little more cheese, set it in the oven at 200 degrees for it to melt, and life is pretty good.
The Alfredo chicken pasta dish that they bake in the bread bowl is really delicious as well.
Delivery:
I don’t know if they go through a lot of drivers, or if they have a lot of drivers working for them, but I hardly ever see the same driver. Delivery is always quick, so that is good for me and not having the same delivery guy is not an issue.
CONS:
The chocolate dessert is pretty off, tasting like preservatives and plastic. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Empty promises: they called me 15 minutes AFTER I had ordered my gf specialty pizza to tell me that they were out of gluten free pizza dough till tomorrow. I WENT TO BED EXHAUSTED WITHOUT HAVING EATEN DINNER, ALL OTHER RESTAURANTS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WERE ALL ALREADY CLOSED. I WAS TOO EXHAUSTED AFTER A LONG DAY TO GET BACK INTO MY CAR TO GET LATE NIGHT DRIVE THROUGH. (Eww) AND TOO EXHAUSTED TO FRY UP SOME EGGS. I ordered pizza again today, and they called me just now 3 minutes after I placed my online order, that they are out of GF pizza AGAIN. They’re truck is supposedly coming tomorrow. Tomorrow is not today!!! Stop making empty promises Domino’s Pizza! We’re in a long term relationship and you’re giving me this bullshit hot and cold treatment. This is the United States of America! The most convenient, 24/​7, pragmatic country in the world AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME BEFORE I ORDER ANY ITEMS THAT THEY ARE OUT OF STOCK. I HATE EMPTY PROMISES THEREFORE I’M TAKING AWAY 2 STARS, FROM 4 STARS TO TWO. THIS IS BULLSHIT!
Some delivery guys can appear creepy. Holy fuck, there was this one delivery guy, he really shocked me. There was a very quiet knock, so when I opened the door, I was expecting a little person. I look up to see this extremely tall, extremely thin guy. He stood there in the dark and just looked back at me, starring at him. In silence, his long arms reached out to hand me my pizzas and it reminded me of some inbred horror movie. The first thing I said was: Holy shit, you’re tall. Not very original, but once the shock wore off, I paid. He told me how tall he actually was. I said: «Oooooh!» My pizzas were delivered quickly and were all in order, no complaints there. I went back to flopping on the couch, watching Law & Order — SVU and eating yummy pizza. That guy was so tall!!! I replaced my porch light, mainly for the delivery guys since they come by at least once a week. Non-​creepy exchanges of cash and pizza are a must.
The gluten free crust is very strange, with a much, much chewier texture and definitely needs work. The flavor is nearly tart, tasting like something that was sterilized. If you have to order gluten– free, make sure to order toppings with very strong, bold flavors to offset the strange taste of the crust.

Your standard, chain pizza.
