I was just concerned that there might be some silly Corporate policy that forbids double-slicing.

Little Caesars is an insult, not only to pizza, but to humanity!

It’s better than Domino’s.

Your MOM is better than Dominos!
I’m not really sure where I was going with that.

Yes, and my mom’s a bagful of ashes in a box somewhere – and I’m sure she’d taste better than Domino’s!

Yikes, that took a dark turn!
I used to really like Dominoes when I was in high school, but I can barely tolerate it now. Their highly-publicized improvements didn’t make any difference at all that I could tell.

I just assumed that they told you they couldn’t slice your pizza the way you wanted it because they couldn’t be bothered and knew that chances are you’d accept it.

Their pizzas all crust and salt. Though Saltza Hut’s is even saltier.
Gimme Papa Murphy’s and I’ll bake it myself. I’ve been gluten-free for several years now and have had to switch to making my own crust sans wheat. I bring it in to the local Papa Murphy’s for their toppings. They are very nice to help with my pizza cravings.
Lest you think I am talking through my hat because I am a celiac:
I work lots of volunteer gigs. Dominos and Saltza Hut pizzas are often the meal choice at the volunteer events I work. I take one bite of the crust and scrape the top off and eat that to get some lunch in me other than just a fruit and nut bar each day so I do know mediocre pizza.

Well, some good marinara sauce and some peperoncinis…
