![]() ![]() I ordered it just before leaving work and when I completed the order online I was informed it would be ready for pickup in 9-15 minutes. The pizza I ordered, a large pepperoni and mushroom with extra mushroom and extra cheese came to about $18 online for a carry out order. Dominos, well, at least this local one anyway, is still up to its old tricks that sent the pizza joint into decline, being a scrooge on the toppings. It's not 'out-of-the-box' innovative, it's, well, crap. I don't know what Dominos was thinking in putting out the sauce they're now using. I have to ask, does Dominoes even know what oregano is? There was no, "Yum!" to this sauce, I found myself asking, "WTF, this is a revamped recipe? They need to go back to the drawing board." It's not a pizza sauce, it's not worthy of a spaghetti sauce (or as some Italians might say, a 'gravy'), it's not a marinara. It's not a classic, savory pizza style sauce, Dominos went off to la-la land with the sauce. But the sauce is terrible! It's not zesty, it's.well, off. You can taste the infused garlic and butter and it does have a crispy, flakiness to it. Is it really tossed? Um, no, but it no longer tastes like cardboard. In fact, I ordered extra cheese and extra mushrooms. I ordered my favorite, a pepperoni and mushroom pizza on a hand tossed crust. Knowing the joint has tried to re-invent itself in recent years, creating new crust and sauce recipes as well as adding new menu items, I decided Dominos was worth a new try. Dominos used to be a bachelor's go-to, the pizza was decent for the price and most times, you got it delivered as promised. Let me tell you, there was nothing better than getting a bunch of free pizzas on Super Bowl Party Sunday, it was the stuff of high-fives with the guys! And while Dominos used to be OK back in the day, they went downhill, steeply, both in terms of product and service. ![]() Their crust became cardboard, their sauce lacked zesty flavor, they got cheap on the toppings and most importantly they stopped doing the 30-minute delivery guarantee. It's on the way home, it's on the right side of the street, but Dominos? Really? I haven't had a Dominos pizza in years and for good reason. A local joint? This would be my preferred choice, but none exist. Papa Johns? Yes, but on the wrong side of the street, heavy traffic at that time of day forbids a left turn out of the parking lot. My next thought was, where is a convenient pizza joint on the route to the house where I can slip in and slip out to pick up a carry out order? Pizza Hut? Nope, not on the way home. "Pizza!" I said, in typical, bachelor, man-speak. before work and I didn't have any leftovers on hand to reheat. So I was at work, thinking about what to have for dinner, as I failed to pull anything out of the freezer in the a.m. ![]()
