OK, to be honest, I don’t really have forty-eight million points. And we don’t have Domino’s that often, but that number is accumulated over a few years, and we did use to order it in a lot more. It is a lot of points though, and the one-topping-pizza offer has been there for at least a year.
Domino’s, would it kill you to let people add free toppings as the points mount up? I mean, who does a *one-*topping pizza past the age of five, or whatever the age is when you stop eating hot dogs without the bun, or without anything on them but ketchup?
25 and counting. I’ll do a multi-topping pizza as long as you keep the rabbit food well away from my pie, but one topping is cheaper and meat is meat, so there you have it. Hot dogs, of course, receive only ketchup.* Some people seem to take issue with this, but then, some people can eat me.
But yeah, the pizza chains’ premium on extra toppings is pretty ridiculous, especially when you consider that the amount of any one topping is reduced as you add more. A five-topping “specialty” doesn’t really have any more stuff on it than a three-topper. I don’t know how Domino’s point system works, but I’m gonna guess that they want you to accumulate enough points for whole pizzas without giving you smaller stuff (toppings, etc.) to spend your remaining balance on. My advice: start ordering cheese sticks and hot wings and save yourself the heartache.
*A1, barbecue, or any non-mayonnaise-based sauce is acceptable in the absence of ketchup, but is considered non-optimal. Void where prohibited, or in locations such as New York City where a goodly number of locals really need to calm the fuck down about hot dog condiments.
#1 - a properly made cheese pizza is a delight, an exercise in simple well-made food. Once you get past 1-2 toppings, it ceases to be pizza, and becomes a “topping support device”, where cooking a quality pizza doesn’t matter anymore because all you can taste is the toppings.
#2 - nobody who eats Domino’s pizza gets to impugn another person’s pizza choice
I eat so much Domino’s pizza that they made me a MVP (Most Valued Patron). So every once in awhile (I’d wager to say at least every week and a half) they send me these special deals in sealed, red envelopes that look like what they pull the Academy Award winners out of.
They’re pretty good deals. In the last two months I’ve gotten:
A free breadbowl pasta (as in, free, no other purchase requred, plus free delivery), A free American Legends pizza, and a coupon for–instead of buy one, get one free–buy one, get TWO free.
I have to say, I’m pretty happy and a satisfied customer…so if you want better deals, just eat Domino’s regularly once a week for about four or five months. It’s a safe bet they’ll make you an MVP then.*
*I didn’t even know such a thing existed until I got the first letter/special coupon, addressing me by name from the “president” of the company
Hey! I never attained MVP status, and I pretty much lived on Domino’s when I was an undergrad. Now I have a hankering for their deliciously greasy breadsticks. Unfortunately, no Domino’s near me, just a nasty-ass Little Caesar’s I don’t know how they managed to fuck up pizza, but it smells like vomit. Like hot vomit.
It’s a scam. The average person who eats Dominos pizza regularly for four or five months keels over from a coronary. You’re probably the only one who’s slipped through the technicality of still being alive so far.
