I replicated the order using their coupons. It saved $2, almost $3. But it’s for a medium pizza.
Wow. That’s some bullshit, but I’ll remember that if I have to do this again.

That’s definitely better, but still significantly more expensive than it was 5 years ago. Do websites have coupons you can just use before you order? I didn’t bother to look. I didn’t even know that was a thing.

Large one-topping pizzas are only $7.99 if you order on the Domino’s website with their coupon, which is usually located on the home page. Make sure you click “see all coupons” if prompted, because they bury some of them.
I once had a problem picking up an order I’d made online that never went through. They tried to resubmit the order themselves in-store so they could make the pizza on the spot, but the total was almost twice as much without the online coupons. I had to place my online order in the store since they couldn’t access those deals themselves.
Bonus, though, is that you can get the extra large “Brooklyn style” for only $10 (instead of $15+ regular price) by up-sizing that $7.99 large pizza for $2 more when you check out.
Source: am kinda poor in a rural area where Domino’s is about the best you can get, and buying in bulk is the cheapest way to go.

Speaking of buying in bulk, Dominos pasta is pretty good and filling and refrigerates/reheats much better than the pizza. If you’re ever doing dominos, add a pasta on for tomorrow’s lunch.

Yeah, as a person who’s ordered dominoes more than I like you have to start a coupon before you order and it makes it significantly cheaper (specifically the $7 per item coupon previously mentioned).
Also, I highly recommend switching the pizza crust from hand tossed to pan. It’s always been a free change when I’ve done it and the pizza always comes out significantly better. If you’re optimizing it’s also more calories/dollar.

This place doesn’t offer pan. Just regular and thin crust.

Their “deal” pizza went from $5.99 in ~2010 to $6.99 and now $7.99. I do not remember when the changes happened exactly, but I do remember back around 2010 ordering the pizza at that price when our friend group would get together to watch Doctor Who.
The $6.99 to $7.99 increase happened in the last yearish (I checked an order email from May 2023 and it was $6.99). I only get delivery when I am at work and my wife is unable to bring dinner, but I know the delivery fee has been increasing too.
ETA: went and looked back further at order emails, in June 2022 it was $5.99. My earliest order email is from 2012, and they were $5.99 then as well. So at least 10 years at $5.99.

Tangent, but please stop using ETA. That acronym is already taken by something important, and saving one character over “edit” doesn’t help anything.

Usually, there's a coupon that lets you get a medium 1 topping pizza and a stuffed cheese bread (+1 free dip), for $7 each item. That said, I absolutely recommend making your own pizza dough if you have the time for it. Way better tasting pizza.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I wouldn’t even be able to get near pizza dough. I can imagine the smell in my head right now and that’s enough of the thought of a food smell to disgust me.
Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 1 week ago
Honest question, not a real suggestion, would the smell get through one of those double filter strap face masks for painting? I just don’t know about your situation.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 week ago
I haven’t tried it, but I also don’t really want to take the chance.
