80 dollars how?
The fact that you chose to spend $80 at Dominos is what’s infuriating.
80$ for three pizzas? Bro did not use any coupons
Used to get everything delivered! Now i pick up everything. Significantly cheaper and food is always warm.
Your first mistake was spending $80 for 3 pizzas & bread bites. Also fun fact if you call the store back and speak with the manager, let them know your order was cold and not up to par for the money you spent and you’re unhappy, they should send you out a whole nother order for free. At least in my experiences with domino’s they have.
Dominos is great… for take out. Delivery just leaves you with cold hours old pizza at ridiculous prices, take out they have stupid good deals and is all nice and quick (and at least for the ones I’ve gone to are pretty good pizza)
$80? That pizza like your story smells like BS
Wasted time and cash on icy disaster
Fun fact, you can go pick it up instead. Quicker and cheaper. Delivery service can be a roll of the dice, especially on a busy Friday night.
Sorry, if you paid $80 for a pizza, I’m not feeling bad for you
Still would. Fire the oven up boi
Bro’s like, hey everyone look at my poor financial management. It’s also cold.
You’re an idiot
For God’s sake just go to costco
How many people are you feeding? I have literally never spent that much at dominos feeding my 3 person family with leftovers. That’s… Insane.
Hi OP, I worked for domino’s for 2 years as a driver. Couple things:
> Ordered at 6:45,
Your big mistake was ordering at the dinner rush during the holidays. I don’t blame you, you’re probably hungry and don’t wanna cook. But when I was delivering we would get **slammed** during the dinner rush over Christmastime. Like, 2 – 3 hour delivery times because there was so much pizza. Trust me when I say this, your kids might go a little hungry but if you order just an hour later then it will get there significantly faster. Alternatively, order at a slow time like 3 or 4 pm. There’s still orders ahead of you probably but it’s a lot more manageable.
Also, as many people have already mentioned, it should not cost $80 for 3 pizzas, full stop. I wouldn’t be surprised if it did cost that much, but the company makes it cost that much so that way when you **use the coupons they give you for free** they can be like “oh look you saved so much aren’t we generous use us instead of pizza hut”
> Called store at 7:50 and told “he just left” but he did not. You know we can see his location on the tracker, right??
The tracker has been fundamentally broken for the better part of a year now. For some drivers it works and for some it just does not. The in-store tracker uses the same GPS as the delivery screen, so often we would see on our end it breaking and saying a driver was “at the store” when they were clearly on delivery. This is a corporate thing, they changed it at some point and now pretty much every franchise nationwide is having this issue. We were as frustrated with it as you are now.
> Dude dropped the box of garlic bites on my porch.
Okay this is just funny. You know we shake the box before delivery so the sauce gets an even spread right? They’re little dough balls, they will survive a drop. It’s not *courteous,* but I guarantee they hit some bumps on the road there anyway.
> Pizza was cold and tasted like shitty cardboard
This part is probably driver error. I believe the insulated bag drivers are supposed to use is rated for a couple hours but it should get *soggy* not *cold.* Probably left the bag open and let the air out on accident or on purpose, who knows? I had some *long* deliveries at my time there but I never had any cold pizza, I could feel them through the bag.
> it looked like it had been cut by a 5 year old with safety scissors.
I mean, you try being trapped at cut table with nobody else to box pizzas during a rush lmao. You’ve got 6 pizzas coming through the oven every 30 seconds with like 15 pizzas in the oven *and* sides right behind those. It sucks, but it’s just pretty much impossible to cut every pizza so it looks pretty. I had some *bad* pizza cuts when I was on cut table, I think every domino’s worker can attest to that. This is also why your burgers from McDonald’s look tiny & like somebody stepped on them. Because some underpaid worker “assembled” it in 20 seconds alongside 20 other burgers. Domino’s is fast food, they prioritize speed & efficiency over presentation & taste.
In the end though I would not blame you for not ordering domino’s. It’s my preferred choice but it’s also the only option near where I live besides pizza hut and both companies are absolutely pieces of shit corporations. Nobody there cares about workers and in turn workers are not incentivized for good service.
I made the mistake of ordering Domino’s recently. It had been years and for some reason I thought I heard they improved their pizza at some point…boy was I wrong.
Stupidly expensive and probably the worst pizza I’ve ever had.
Edit: I didn’t do the 6.99 two toppings because I wanted a deluxe and something else and I couldn’t find a coupon to knock much off… slightly hyperbole about “stupid expensive”…more like just not worth what I paid. I don’t care about price as long as food is good.
Domino’s is trash even by shitty chain pizza standards.
I actually like dominoes. Better than Pizza Hut. But I also like the smell of my own farts. So…
so pricey
What u expect on a busy Friday night
Never let kids pick something like this lol. They have little food experience, and only pick things that are heavily advertised. Dominos is awful 🤮
Dude if you’re close enough for Domino’s to deliver just go pick it up. You can get it much faster and you don’t have to pay delivery fees or tip.
Op ordered at 6:45 on a Friday and expects it in 30?😂😂 bruh this ain’t the 80s when it’s busy it’s busy the store can’t control how many people order at once🤷🏼♀️
Quick Homemade Pizza Recipe
Ingredients (for 1 large pizza):
1. Pizza Dough (store-bought or homemade): ~$2-$3
• Alternatively, you can make it with flour, yeast, water, salt, and olive oil.
2. Pizza Sauce: ~$1-$2 (canned or jarred marinara works fine).
3. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: ~$3-$4 (2 cups).
4. Toppings:
• Pepperoni: ~$2
• Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms): ~$1-$3 depending on selection.
• Optional extras: olives, jalapeños, etc.
5. Olive Oil & Seasonings: ~$0.50 (already in most kitchens).
Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.
2. Roll out the pizza dough into a circle or rectangle.
3. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough.
4. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly across the top.
5. Add your chosen toppings.
6. Place the pizza on the preheated sheet/stone and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
7. Drizzle with olive oil or sprinkle with Italian seasoning if desired. Serve hot!
Estimated Costs in the U.S.
• Total Cost: $8–$12 (for 1 large pizza, depending on toppings).
• Per Slice (8 slices): ~$1-$1.50 each.
This is cheaper than most takeout pizzas, which usually cost $15-$20+. Plus, it’s fresh and customizable!
Yeah this is a pretty classic case of an understaffed store. Runs wait forever to get a driver, and when they do the driver is typically taking multiple runs to help compensate for the lack of drivers. The cut looks fine to me, even if it’s a bit uneven.
This is like going to a amusement park, waiting in line to buy tickets, walking into a restaurant, buying a soda, and then leaving without doing anything else (not as a season pass holder). After which you complain that your soda cost over $100 finding out when you were already leaving their Co2 was out so it was flat.
The only difference there compared to here is if you’d have actually gone to the restaurant you wouldn’t have had to wait 1.5 hours and it would have been much cheaper using coupons. Plus it would have been hot and fresh.
>Dominos
There’s your problem.
I’ve stopped ordering pizza from anywhere. Even the best local mom n pop shop is shit now.
FROZEN Motor City Pizza is better than anything I can get locally.
Look fire 🔥
Just because I love Dominos, I’m going to defend it in a comment section that I’m sure will be anti-dominos.
Whatever happened it OP, is nothing like I’ve ever experienced. I use their global coupons, that Andy one can use, and get each large pizza for $8. That is very cheap. I personally love their pizza and have never had an issue, but I do usually pick it up in store
Dominos kind of sucks. $80 fuck no.
