Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, January 11, 2010

For a pizza joint, it's a bold move to tell customers your crust tasted like cardboard and your sauce was like ketchup. But that's just what Domino's Pizza Inc. has been saying since last month in untraditional ads about the recipes it abandoned when it launched its reformulated pizza. "It takes alpha meat balls to stand up and say 'America, we suck,'" comedian Stephen Colbert said while lampooning the campaign on his show last week. After taking a bite of the new pizza he declared, "Is that a pizza or did an angel just give birth in my mouth?"

I just had one. They're still pretty bottom of the line.

Domino"s: "Our pizza no longer sucks"

Maybe not, but they've still got a long way to go to catch the Hut.

Pizza Hut? Do those asholes always maintain a 6" margin from the edge when putting on toppings?

Domino's Pizza never sucked.

It picked its nose - and guess where the boogers ended up?

I really hate that Papa John's Pizza, and that deal for two large one-topping pizzas for $16.99 just plain blows.

To hell with national pizza chains. Buy local. It's usually worth the price.

Depends on where you live.

We had a great Domino's in Sarasota.

Now that we're in TN, both Domino's and Pizza Hut suck.

We buy Fraschetta's Natural Rising Crust at Wal-Mart for five bucks. It's better than the local Hut & Dom's.

My little Wisconsin town has a local hole-in-the-wall bar that makes the finest pizza in the world. There isn't a chain or frozen pizza that knows the definition of the word compared to that one.

I go to Costco. Large combo for ten bucks. You can't beat it.

Buy local. It's usually worth the price.

I agree, but the guy that owns the local Domino's franchise buys stuff from me. I've gotta throw him a bone once in a while.

"To hell with national pizza chains. Buy local. It's usually worth the price."

I'd agree with that except when there are no chains or local competition in range; then the "locals" tend to price gouge.

When there is competition within range you get what you pay for.

I tried Dominos Pizza just one time: Cardboard. Never again.

Papa John's rocks, although I have to do an extra half hour on the treadmill after eating it due to the garlic/butter sauce.

Chain pizzas generally suck.

Old joke:

Domino's can now fax you a pizza. Funny thing is it tastes exactly the same.

Chuck E. Cheese is the shit.

The biggest difference with local pizza joints is whether they make their own crusts. Too many locals buy frozen crusts, so they're no better than the rest.

Best pizza ever: Frank's Pizzaria in Silvis, Illinois

Everything -- including the meat toppings -- is made from scratch

Domonic's Pizza is our best local.

Everything is made from scratch.

They make an awesome potato pizza!!

Had some a couple nights ago. It is better but still doesn't hold a candle to Papa John's. Not even as good as Pizza Hut. Of course none of them top some of the great local St. Louis pizza places.

"some of the great local St. Louis pizza places."

As a native, there are some days I'd kill for an Imo's or a Talanya's.

Ponzetti's Pizza, Ocean City Md; just great pizza.

Bruno's in San Marcos, Ca. Best, huge pizza, and their garlic, tomato, and jalapeno was just the best.

Hmmm. My editing didn't come through - Bruno himself would be back there making the pizzas, and their medium was bigger than most large. No delivery, tho, so I'd have to stay semi-sober until I picked up the pie.

No delivery, tho,
#24 | Posted by LetUsPrey

WHAT!!
That's down right unAmerican.

How many pick up their pizza, and how many have it delivered? If you have it delivered-do you tip the driver?

you have to tip the driver at least three dollars. i mean, it is possible that they are driving their own car. either way, the hourly wage and total weekly hours sucks for pizza delivery people, so you should tip.

I agree. I was curious as to how liberals and conservatives view tipping the pizza delivery guy. I would say conservatives are more likely to stiff the delivery guy. I'm like you--three dollar minimum, or 15% whichever is greater.

Fuck the American crap. Thin crust oven backed European pizza is the best.

Domino's Pizza no longer sucks?

Yeah, caught Colbert's bit he did there.

Funneh stuff.

Domino's was never that great but it wasn't truly awful either.

You want awful try Boston Pizza.

S'rsly, when the box the pizza comes in tastes better than the pizza you got problems.

Be Well.

Maybe not, but they've still got a long way to go to catch the Hut.

Pizza Hut sauce gives me the shits. The only problem I ever had with Domino's is the speed at which it lost all of it's heat and turned into a cold mass of tastelessness. You can't reheat Domino's pizza either.

I do it myself. Pizza stone, super hot gas grill. One day I shall have myself a wood fired brick oven.

I've had new york pizza and that cake shit people from Chicago call pizza. Best I ever had was 1 block from my dorm at the College of Charleston. Andolini's. Two huge slices and a coke for 5 bucks. Garlic butter sauce not a requirement.

Everything -- including the meat toppings -- is made from scratch

They slaughter and butcher cows and pigs on site? Isn't that unsanitary?

They grow their own wheat in Vermin's dumpster. Just ask him.

Sarvis.....Bright as Alaska in December
.

Best pizza I ever had was in Naples, Italy, a couple of streets up from the Fleet Landing in some hole in the wall. The best pizza around where I live (IMO) is Mellow Mushroom or Bella's. Good cheese, good sauce, hand tossed crusts = good pizza.

The best Pizza is made in the graveyard. Tombstone.

Mellow Mushroom is very good. There is a pizza chain in Western Pa called Pizza Joes that is also very good. Hell I'll admit I like Pizza even from Domino's. Pizza is like sex. Even when it's bad it's still ok.

I tried pizza all over Europe. None of it to me compared with some in the U.S. and I dont care it came from Italy or where the fuck ever. No country is better than the U.S.

Although, until you havent eaten a pizza in nine months, ANY pizza is the best the first time you eat it...

Pizza and bagels follow the same general rule; The further from NYC you go, the crappier they taste.

Some exceptions do exist, as I have had some very good pizza in Florida. Alas the chef was a NY transplant.

Dough Boys in Fort Lauderdale is great, I have their pizza at least once a week.

That pizza IS shit. It's not meant for consumption by anyone other than dirty hyperactive children whose systems can somehow manage its processing. I'd think that, coupled with the freaky, in much need of maintenance, animatronic hillbilly bear band and the room of balls that are covered in soda and piss, is enough to make ya think twice about joint.

We have a Pizza Joint down the road that puts the sauce on top. It tastes like shit.

Robot, it was a joke ala Grumpier Old Men. Settle down.

Twilight Pizza in Camas, WA amazing "Gourmet" Pizza! Tastes like a whole meal.. And they don't mark up wine that much! good for family or date...

For Reg. pizza, Bocci - Buffalo, N.Y.

***"animatronic hillbilly bear band and the room of balls that are covered in soda and piss, is enough to make ya think twice about joint."***

No shit, there's got to be a cure for the swine flu or cancer hiding somewhere in that nastiness.

Oh, I forgot, there's a new place near me called Da Vinci's that pretty good. Crust is a little tough but the cheese and sauce are pretty good.

That's because pizza in Wisconsin sucks. Cross the border and you will find some real deep dish. The pizzeria I linked to ships their stuff nationwide on dry ice because people can't get enough of it.

Best Pizza is Vancity used to be a place called Pizzarico's on Robsonstrasse.

After that it was a place called Flying Wedge.

FW is still around. Spud is awful fond of their "Texas Pull" pizza which involves Hickory smoked tomato sauce, marinated pulled pork, red and green peppers, diced onions and three different cheeses.

Yum! :>P

See also: "Tropical Pig". That one has lean thin sliced ham, a sweet sauce, pineapple, garlic and almonds and a mostly cheddar cheese topping.

Currently Spud is luff a place called Viva Sue.

Mom and Pop operation. Been in the same location fer thirty years. Farking fantastic.

Be Well.

"The old days of trying to spin things simply doesn't work anymore," President Patrick Doyle, who will become CEO in March, told The Associated Press in an interview. "Great brands going forward are going to have a level of honesty and transparency that hasn't been seen before."

See, there's a big difference between talking about honesty and transparency and making use of the concept. Unfortunately, most people only want to hear it if it sounds good not whether or not it's the truth. We're in a "don't rock the boat" kind of era. I hope, however, this promotion method turns out to be successful.
At the same time, customers who preferred the 'old' Domino's are now left in the cold, experts said.
"By doing that they are basically saying, 'We've been shoveling you crap for years and now we want you to trust us,'" said Kelly O'Keefe, managing director of the Brand Center at Virginia Commonwealth University.

The same people are the ones advising the politicians to never come clean to the public... it's just wiser to let the bad taste quickly slide through the ridicule and depend on the general public's peculiar inability in retaining information... especially that of historical significance.

I still dream of a pizza I got in Siena, about two blocks from the train station. Perfect crust, obviously made from scratch, and wood-fired in a centuries-old brick oven. It was served about 3 minutes from ordering as well. Mmmmmmm......

I'm such a pizza whore. I like Domino's. Delivered for them in college - fun job. I like Pizza Hut. I like Papa John's. Papa's and Pizza Hut's parent company (Yum) are both based in my hometown, Louisville, but that's not why I like them. I just love pizza. Favorite local joints: Tony Boombozz (unusual toppings that still taste great), Impellizzeri's (thick, hearty Italian meals), Wick's (dependably yummy).

Give me pizza and cold beer (and maybe a little nooky), and I'm a happy boy.

(not directing this retort back to you necessarily)
Kinda' depends on what you consider "smart". Are you okay with going through life being lied to? It's that "ignorance is bliss" comfort so many of you are afraid of straying too far from. That's kinda' what I'm talking about in post #51.
I think the article contains more than just pizza. There are parallels between the position Domino's and well, not with politics, but with anything that's "sold" to the general public. Companies are trying to sell you their product, lawyers sell their perspective, politicians votes. Ya know this alone says a lot about risk analysis and what the masses are "allowed" to be aware of as a result - all because Domino's is laying it out plain as day for everyone to see it made the news. ...and we think they're being dumb? It used to be the wise were the ones who knew better, now it's the ones who lie the best I guess.

One more thing... Here you have a bunch of people complaining on how bad their product tasted so they're (Domino's) gonna' add more of the stuff they're outlwing in California in order to make the way people want it to taste. Funny !

Tower Pizza in Staples, MN is by far the best pizza I have ever eaten. I doubt there are more than a couple thousand people in the town. Home made sauce and crust every morning...they had this fantastic Pizza called a Northwoods...it had ground beef, wild rice, mushrooms, sauce and mozz on it...unbelievably good.

LOL at Tyler.

When I delivered pizza back in college, I went to this one nice house in a nice neighborhood, and this woman, maybe 40, came to the door, in a slinky nightgown and matching slinky robe. She was reasonably attractive. She looked me up and down, said she was having a party later, and I was welcome to come by. I looked around and there was nobody there and no sign of a party anytime soon. All I could think about was Mrs. Robinson asking "Would you like me to seduce you?"

I did NOT return later that evening...

Wish I would have tried it. Went over to Capri for a day but didn't have any pizza, but the hydro-foil ride was nice. I know we ate at Solopizzeria once, but the best one I ate at was in a little shopping strip a couple streets up from the Castle Nuovo. I remember walking by the castle and then turning left a couple of streets up. Place was a hole in the wall just big enough for the oven and cashier.

I used to deliver Pizza, you fool. I know how long it rode around with me and how many I spit on.

I worked pizza delivery for 8 years. I spit on exactly one pie, but I did make sure plenty were late and some crushed.

My favorite and yes, I really did this, was when someone gave me a 10 for a 9.85 bill and said "keep the change."

I went to my car, grabbed a handful of pennies, went back to his door, knocked, and handed him the pennies. When he gave me a "wtf" look, I told him "you obviously need it more than I do."

The best ever was an employee named Pete who gave a customer a dollar one time and said "this is what is called a tip. This is not your dollar. Next time you order from us, you give this dollar to the person who brings you the pizza."

I remember a few tight wads who ordered every weekend. I found great pleasure flipping the box upside down and shaking it so the toppings stuck to the lid. It ultimately cost me my delivery career.

I found great pleasure flipping the box upside down and shaking it so the toppings stuck to the lid. It ultimately cost me my delivery career.

Powersliding works better and is never "your fault." I would place the "trouble customer" in the middle of the stack of pies so it would get really hot, not allowing the cheese to settle. Then, as I got to their house, I would hit my brakes really hard once or twice which would cause all the cheese to slide off the pie and all over the box. When the customer called to complain, I would tell my manager that I had to slam on my brakes because I got cut off and it wasn't my fault.

Around the age of 19 and living just off campus, I ordered a pizza & a case of beer. Upon the pizza guy showing up w/ the goods I discovered my roommates weren't in and I was shy on cash. I asked if he'd just take back the beer. He replied, "No man, you said you wanted it, you need to take it." I informed him I was underage and couldn't legally take it. He assured me it didn't matter and have to. It was only after I told him I didn't have the money for it he settled on returning it.

I'll occasionally settle on the convenience of delivery, but it's pretty rare anymore. I have no beef passing on a few bucks to the fella'. I used to deliver too and it was nice to get the tips, but really wasn't necessary. Unlike waitresses, delivery didn't have to settle for the below minimum and counted on the tips to simply make it.

Unlike waitresses, delivery didn't have to settle for the below minimum and counted on the tips to simply make it.

Not true. Delivery drives do fall under waitstaff for the purposes of wage and the store only must make up the difference if they wages + tips fall under minimum. I got paid 3.00 per hour, plus 50 cent per delivery when I was a driver and the minimum was 5.25.

I knew of some guys years ago that worked at a local Pizza Hut that rumor has it, for special customers only, would guzzle down a large amount of pizza sauce, then yak it back up onto the dough and cover it with cheese and toppings. Can't really verify if it was true or not, but just the thought of it is really nasty.

It's been too long to remember for certain, but think minimum was mid $4 something and was making $6 w/o tips. On weekends I averaged $12/hr w/ tips... plenty of dough to support a cocaine habit to better keep on top of folding boxes and deliveries. :-D

Oh, I made a killing. I would average like $250 per night in tips not counting my hourly, but I scammed like a mother fucker to make it. For example, if a coupon was offered and you didn't have it, but I did, I got the discount and kept the difference. I sold my own sodas instead of the store's and usually added like $50 per night in soda sales.

Upon reflection, it was a pretty cool job. And I recall taking home alot of duds that people wouldn't take ownership of.

I loved delivery in my 20's. I made tons of money, the job was low stress and high intoxication. My first pizza job I remember had a drug test that was "quality and quantity on demand." We also had a keg in the walk-in for those stuck cooking and answering phones.

"For example, if a coupon was offered and you didn't have it, but I did, I got the discount and kept the difference."

I could never do this, but always could to some faceless corporations for some reason...particularly if they never paid taxes:>)

Most Companies Pay No Federal Income Tax

Yeah, I worked for Pizza Hut. They had tap beer and the Asst. Manager was always catching hell for it disappearing.

I could never do this, but always could to some faceless corporations for some reason...particularly if they never paid taxes:>)


I was the master. "You want a large pizza with Pepperoni? Do you have a coupon? No, ok, that will be 7.35" as I write up the ticket for 5.35 and put a coupon in my pocket.

There was also the "Manager's Special" which consisted of: any walking was charged whatever price the Manager could think he could get away with, and then he would pocket it without ever ringing it up. The sheer profit margin of most pizza places guarenteed that the owner of the place would NEVER catch on to it.

I pickup my pizza too.

Wow, Liar BoOB is still reading AND commenting on posts that are not directed to him nor about him, regardless of his "list."

Wrong yet again...I do tip. Your track record remains unsullied.

When it comes to tipping...
20% if you did your job well
15% if you did your job
10% to let you know you're in the wrong business
I always leave something.

The point of the article was that tipping is a uniquely American pheonomenon that has only recently made in-roads into other cultures.

Here's an example...When was the last time you tipped your mechanic for a brake job? You trust him to properly do the maintenance that might save your life, yet you will give a pizza delivery guy extra money for simply doing his job. Your feeble effort to politicize a discussion about a simple business transaction is pathetic. You're the kind of knucklehead that makes professing a liberal worldview more difficult. Sucks to be you.

Why would he tip if he picks up the pizza? Do you tip the McDonalds guy that takes your order or the checkout lady at the grocery store? If not, you're just being cheap...

Us normal people only tip when a service is provided, like when the pizza guy actually delivers or a waitress actually brings my food and refills my drink.

I also pick up my pizza from the store; however, it isn't because I'm too cheap or worried about spitters, it's because I enjoy burning the fossil fuels that power my car and polluting the atmosphere. It also gives me the chance to run over the occasional kitten or stray bike rider.

Oh, on topic, Antonio's pizza in College Station TX is hands down the best pizza I've ever had - beats the chain places no contest.

The best Pizza I ever had was from a place in Boulder I used to work at called "The Sink." I will not give away their recipe, but it was the most original I ever dealt with in my long tenure in kitchens.

I think it is important to point out fucking thieves when I see them.

Fatso's pizza in Phoenix is the best i ever had.
Their motto is "What we don't eat, we sell".
The Pepperoni covering is so thick, you can't see the rest of the pizza.

They have 20 beers on tap, so i always pick it up instead of delivery.

Love the double blonde beer.

Best pie here is from a little hole-in-the-wall called Luciano's. They don't even have a beer license.

The chef is Tony, from Italy via NYC.

I always eat in, so it's so hot it burns the roof of your mouth.

Don't forget a side order of garlic knots.

Mamma mia!

I always tip the delivery guy (sadly, I no longer live in North San Diego County). 4 bucks at least. He knows me, I know him, I get the pizza first on his route. It's all good. Best beer at a pizzeria -

We used to have a Mazzis' in Salem - I loved it until I found out what how veal was "produced". One of the best we've got in Portland is Guiseppi's imo - impressively stacked high with goodies like a Mayan pyramid. 2nd Avenue Pizza was bought out - they used to have awesome New York style and good porters. Now it's a hookah bar with over 30 flavored of tobaccos.

I don't ever intend on eating Dominos or Pizza Hut. I did try the "stuffed crust" once - and that nailed the coffin shut for me.

Back in college the Domino's quality stunk. Heck, they were selling mostly to college kids so quality was secondary to getting it there "in less than 30 minutes." Speed was the key when we'd, uh, worked up an appetite.

But here in Clemmons their pizza is pretty good. We have a BOGO card, so that makes it a better buy.

Mrs Oohrah likes more unusual toppings. I'm a basic extra cheese, pepperoni, mushroom person. Loved it as a kid - still do.

Spud too.

Outta all the many pizzas Spud has eaten over the years more than half of them was Pepperoni, Mushroom.

Usually with double shrooms.

You can't improve on perfection.

Yum!

Be Well.

The YouTube vid is hilarious. Dom's in biz for a skillion years, and the chefs and employees are all surprised that the focus groups are saying that the stuff blows. Had these people never before tasted their own pies???

Tried Papa John's once. Easily as bad as, or worse than Domino's. Actually, the box it came in was fairly decent. Nice and crispy.

Any pizza made on a conveyor belt sucks...

That said, I figured I'd try it for lunch after seeing the commercial (was tired of the regular fare I've been having for lunch and they're right accross the street from work).

Walked in, opened my box before I paid for it, took a bite, told them it still sucked and walked out.

I grew up in Jersey so very spoiled when it comes to pizza.

Is bOoB bragging about giving the pizza boy a shiny quarter for delivery?

"That's because pizza in Wisconsin sucks. Cross the border and you will find some real deep dish. The pizzeria I linked to ships their stuff nationwide on dry ice because people can't get enough of it."

Deep Dish??? That's a fargin casserole with a crappy crust. Chicago for Pizza? Not on your life, the best? My home made thin crust with home made sauce, I might even use my own Italian sausage (but I prefer pepperoni) with fresh veggies and tons of WISCONSIN cheese, made on a very hot grill (no stone, just a perforated sheet) its done in about 4-5 minutes.

If you do go out, Pizza Boy in Milwaukee can't be beat, they also have the best wine by the glass cellar around (about 300).

And also...After further review, the Bears still suck!
