The Pizza Turnaround

The true story of how Domino's listened to its harshest critics and made their best pizza ever.

Decider: Admin

A Domino's commercial? You swarmed a Domino's commercial?

But it's Cool.

It may taste better but it's still unhealthy.

WTH? LK do you work for Domino's?

They're sending 1000's of the old pizza to Haiti

They just added more msg to make it taste better.

Curious to know if anyone buys this as legit, all forms of advertising interest me and this is an interesting campaign coupled with what seems to be an organization trying to give itself the equivalent of a B-12 shot.

Also, way too many of you are stupid.

About a month ago, before i started seeing these commercials, I was discussing with my girlfriend how I miss the armpit pizza option. Everybody's pizza's been standardized to a point that it doesn't matter who you order from anymore. For me, its a loss when there's no option for a scratch-n-sniff flavored repugnant Dominos.

its a genius marketing move, but you still swarmed a domino's commercial.

Your grasp of the obvious is top notch today sir.

What is your point?

Like you are making a meeping statement without actually communicating what is happening in your brain, please clarify.

This campaign is brilliant in an '8-Mile'-call-yourself-out-before-they-can and get a meepload of Internet buzz kind of way, but the problem here is all the claims they are making about their NEW FORMULA are the same claims they were making back when their pizza, according to this new campaign, tasted like hospital-packet ketchup over dried meep, thus torpedoing any credibility to their c'mon-baby-I-didn't-mean-to-hit-you makeup meep offers.

I buy the notion that Dominoes could be changing their ways to grab a bigger piece of the market. That being said, I think the genius in this ad is the the assertion that they've been humbled and the huge faceless corporation is changing their ways. meep, they'll even up the input costs on ingredients just to get you to come back. Worked for McDonald's.

What I wonder is; who buy's pizza from a chain or do you stick with a local pizza. I'm loyal to the local guy's and I like to try local pizzas when I travel.

15:44 vasudeva> i love the idea that somewhere in any domino's facility anywhere, there are guys who a) went to any kind of culinary school, or b) wear anything daring to resemble any part of a chef's outfit

I'd definitely give Domino's $11 or whatever to see if they've finally managed to make something that doesn't taste like meep. I suspect, though, that it's going to take a while to come here, and I have no way of knowing when it has, especially since I am about 40000% too meeping good to actually eat the garbage purveyed by Domino's et al without some specific scientific purpose.

Still waiting for your point you soft-headed babytoucher.

my point really was that it just didn't seem linkswarm worthy. that's all. but i did finally let it go. It appears a few folks did find it such and i realized i was being a meep.

I hardly ever do this, but to sorta illustrate where I'm coming from: moi - 2537 links swarmed you - 16 links swarmed

Not sayin that you didn't rock out with the 16, but there might be an outside chance I know what I'm doing.

Point taken, but do you think it would have passed the AQ?

Rank hath privilege, STFU and eat your meepty pizza.

Vas mentioned $11 for one and I can get two really serviceable frozen ones for that after adding just a few readily available home ingredients. No 1/2 hour wait, no tip.

dont answer that. I take it back.

just let it go and we'll never speak of this again.

Do you keep them penned up like veal and infuse them with formula or mother's milk? I hear formula fed babies have a medicinal taste. I don't want that for the party.... I would be a terrible host.

That's when you take a really greasy meep and before the meep hits the water it grabs onto your meep hair and swings from tuft to tuft around your a##hole.
