I've been working in my office all night. I don't know why I ordered a pizza from Domino's, but I did. It's of course complete crap. But I was amazed to find that the pizza box says under the Domino's logo, "The Pizza Delivery Experts."
That's right. They don't claim to be expert pizza makers. Their expertise lies in the moving the pizza from one place to another.

This illustrates a good rule of thumb: no commercial enterprise (incl. Domino's) is better than their best review, including self-review. Like if a movie proclaims: "Action packed!" You can pretty much rule out that it's a *good* action film, as opposed to a mediocre one. Or if restaurant says "Authentic Mexican"...
Domino's, on this score, is not good at delivering pizza, just specially knowledgable about it.
Spiros, you have really disaasppointed me with this post. Who are you to look down your nose at Dominos? Do you really mean to be joining the dark side like this? What next? All that soulless californiia granola crap about organic, local, and fresh? Seriously... delivery is good stuff dude.
While some delivery pizzas may be good, Domino's specifically is not. The only reason I'm disappointed in Spiros is that he didn't avail himself to any of the other options at hand.
Can one major in pizza delivery at Ave Maria University?
I'm surprised that Spiros is surprised. Hasn't that been Dominoes' marketing strategy for 30 years, repeating over and over how fast they deliver and 30 minutes or less or it's free and so on? Haven't they been screaming in capital letters for 30 years that they're transparently interested in selling convenience to the lazy and they don't care--and know that we don't care, and don't care if we know they don't care--if the pizza's good? Don't you remember The Noid?
Isn't the only truly suprising thing that it took us, the public, 30 years to realize that was the intentional strategy, and that it worked beautifully?
Me and my fellow PA's have been waiting eagerly for a new post for, what is it, five days now and you give us pizza delivery? For shame, Spiros. For shame.
PA, Give Spiros a break! 23 posts in one month is pretty uncommon. I want more APA session rules.
Their new thin crust is not crap. It's actually quite good. Much better than the doughy original Domino's. (Based on several samples all including pepperoni.)

I don't know about that, but I do know that you can't cancel a delivery once you've placed the order. Their policy is that once that thing is in the oven, it stays there until it's time for delivery.
So there's no aborting that bun in the oven. Explains the CEO.
9:56: Nice.
I take umbrage at the suggestion that what Dominoes delivers is pizza. It might come off as a load of essentialist horse-shit, but not every piece of bread smothered in fructose-tomato juice and cheese "product" is a pizza.
If they experts at delivering anything, it's cash from the pockets of rubes and suckers into their bank vaults.

STFU pretentio!
1:01, I'll go one better. Dominoes doesn't even qualify as food. Eating Dominoes is a sure sign that one has no sense of taste, or has no standards.
It might fit into your mouth, but that doesn't make it food.
I'll go one further: domino's doesn't even qualify as an object. Just because something can be predicated of--is saucy, tastes bad--doesn't mean it's an object, let alone food or pizza.
Though they purport to have expertise in delivering pizza, I suspect that they don't even know what pizza delivering really is. You should elenchize the next Domino's delivery person you meet.
If expertise in pizza delivery is a form of knowledge, then it can be taught. If it can be taught, then there are those who can teach it.
I believe you have much better pizza right across the street. It's your fault for ordering from Domino's instead.
It's bad enough working for Domino's - why make it worse by subjecting the delivery person to the torture of a Socratic elenchus? Have you guys no compassion?
And why on earth choose Domino's? Haven't they got Hell's Pizza in the USA? So-o much better!
