I get Domino’s from time to time. It’s the closest ‘fast food pizza’ to (about 50m walk) and I don’t find it any better or worse than the other chain pizzas.
50m in another direction from me is wood fired Neapolitan pizza place that also makes decent pizza but it’s a different thing entirely for me. Sometimes I want one, sometimes the other.
I think it comes from their quality in the early 2000s. It was quite bad, but sometime in the 10s that changed their recipe. They’re now my favorite of the chain pizza restaurants.
They’ve definitely tweaked the recipe over the years. They used to be soo bad. Now they’re alright, but they aren’t a good deal unless you use their app, so most of the time I just don’t bother.
It’s very location-based for me. The dominos in my hometown is still good last time I checked. But the one near by me doesn’t give a shit about anything,it seems, and I can tell. Ordering from them is the on\y time I’ve ever opened up a freshly cooked pizza (still hot) and smelled rancid, rotting chicken. Absolutely fucking disgusting. So that location is burnt to me, until I see a sign about “new ownership/management”, but there are others I enjoy. It’s technically a franchise, but most locations are not owned by individuals but by a regional corporation, afaik.

You’re right. They couldn’t pay me to eat one.

I’m always curious about the dominos hate.

Their pizza is as “good” as a frozen grocery store pizza but often twice the price or more. You are always better off finding a local mom-and-pop.

I think it’s a regional thing, the ones near me are perfectly fine if a touch greasy
