If I'm pirating pizza it sure won't be dominos.

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Eh I can't complain for the price of it and they are the only ones in town with alfredo sauce as an option

[-] akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone 49 points 2 weeks ago

Please tell me they actually posted this? 😂

[-] NullPointerException@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 weeks ago

It’s in their FB official account too.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 46 points 2 weeks ago

Y’all are upvoting a corporate ad. In a piracy community of all places…

[-] silicon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

Something wrong with that? Are you doing damage control for Sony?

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

In what world is being anti-advertising “doing damage control for Sony”? Wat

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

it must be hard coming up with defenses that make no sense

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago

Of the worst pizzas ever. Just another American junk food franchise who wants to score some points with gamers. Fuck them.

Let them fight.

Also, would improve dominos by a lot.

[-] Ilandar@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

They're not fighting, though. Domino's doesn't give a fuck, this is just an opportunity for then to improve their short-term PR. In no way does this affect Sony.

Well, there are some places you can't really order anything else, and this would improve dominos quite a lot.

[-] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 30 points 2 weeks ago

In this case it would be an improvement. I can imagine good pizza.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Dominoes isn’t that bad, as far as takeout goes. It’s borderline tolerable, like every other chain. I taste no appreciable difference between the brands, until homemade or proper restaurants enter the mix

[-] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I taste no appreciable difference between the brands,

Either you don't have any taste buds, or you don't order pizza that often. A statement like this is like saying "I taste no appreciable difference between Coke and Pepsi".

  • Papa Johns' has an almost-sugary pizza sauce that I don't like that much. I also prefer pan pizza, but their default is that floppy NY pizza style. I consider them one of my least favorite option. Fucking Yum can't manage any of their brands.
  • Domino's used to suck about 15-20 years ago, but they have improved in every way now. Typically my go-to delivery, for a major chain brand.
  • Pizza Hut is still pretty good for pan pizza, but some think is greaser than others. They tend to use a lot of cheese, which is fine by me.
  • Little Caesars, absolute fucking garbage. I'd rather heat up a cheap pizza at home.
  • Cicis, barely above Little Caesars, about the same quality as Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Gattis
  • Jet's Pizza, really really good pan pizza, a bit more expensive, but better than old standards like Domino's or Pizza Hut.
  • Mellow Mushroom, Old Chicago, Blaze Pizza, all S-tier pizza restaurants, though they don't deliver. Making your own pizza with Blaze just makes it the top pick out of all of these.
[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

I think Little Caesars is a different category of takeout pizza. It's hot - and it's ready. And it supports a company with a business model and mindset that are more than just decent.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Little Caesars is closer to a frozen pizza experience, but at least they are priced to match.

[-] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

And, again, good morals. That matters to me in a company, honestly.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Cicis, barely above Little Caesars, about the same quality as Chuck E. Cheese or Mr. Gattis

Aw, man... But back in the day when it was all you can eat for $5? Those were the days. Didn't matter that it wasn't the best -- it was alright, and you could have as much as you wanted. Walk out of there wondering how you managed to eat the equivalent of 6 entire large pizzas in one sitting... (Not counting crusts, of course. Why would you bother eating the crust when you can just grab 5 more fresh slices?)

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

To describe the ones you’ve listed, each and every one up until jet’s is nutrition. Something to avoid dying. I know there is a difference between them, but it is so minimal that I can’t care enough to subdivide between different forms of human fuel.

I can’t say I’ve ever had anything past jet’s so I won’t opine there. If they’re slightly pricier, have fresher dough, and appreciably higher quality ingredients, i’d probably agree. But I make my own pizza and sauce and sometimes topping, so it seems unlikely for me to try them and offer anything concrete

[-] volore@scribe.disroot.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

finally, someone else that hates Papa Johns sauce. Their garlic dip is on point from what I remember, but Jesus fuck their tomato sauce ruins everything it touches. Tomato sauce should be many things on pizza -- savory, salty, maybe slightly spiced, hell even just fucking bland and flavorless would be an improvement but not fucking sweet.

[-] Phantaloons@piefed.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry, it's just all garbage compared to a small greek or italian place, I don't even consider any of them a proper option in the first place.

[-] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

It may be different in your country, but in mine there are takeout pizzas that aren't a chain, and 95% of the time they are better.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

until homemade or proper restaurants enter the mix

That’s what I’m saying

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

I heavy disagree with tasting no difference. I love Dominos pizza vs the other pizzas available. Sucks that they don't do stuffed crust but, the price compared to others and the lesser oil used I love.

I buy a pamseaon sauce pizza or BBQ and bacon/ham pizza every few months through them.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

It’s human food. I would eat it, like most things, to provide material for my body. I’d enjoy a pizza from a slightly more upscale place, but I’m not offended by dominoes.

[-] volore@scribe.disroot.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Domino's just introduced stuffed crust here recently, it's fairly cromulent. It's not the best I've ever had, but it does beat Little Caesars and Pizza Hut's stuffed crust options for me.

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

I saw that, I never buy a medium pizza though but I have been tempted.

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

If I could pirate food I would be dead within a month from cheesy poof etc overdose.

[-] FoxAlive@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

I know its April fools but the idea of having to buy then download a pizza code, to give to your pizza printer oven, that needed over-priced printer cartridges, that you couldnt refill with your own pizza sauce or cheese, does at least sound real.

Like realistically those dumb kuregs are not too far off from that. We could just add the internet to these things and charge your more for the things you already bought. Maybe each kuregg pod comes with a vanilla burst mode that can only be accessed if you have a subscription model, or pay 50 cents via the app on each cup of coffee.

These fast food companies are going to have to retire soon the way they are going. It cost more to go to McDonalds then going to a real sit down restaurant. And you get less food. Half the fast food places don't even open up their sit down stores past 6pm anyways. you have to drive through or order from a shitty delivery app. At some point they are not going to have store locations and its just going to be selling their licensed food products to grocery stores or ghost kitchens. I could see fast food chains try to make fun novelty products like a counter top mc flurry machine, or the coca cola soda stream that tries to deliver you monthly syrup bags, or soft serve mix that used to go directly to McDonalds stores. Some bullshit with a touch screen and internet with promo codes and ads that always display to you.

[-] therealdries@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

I won't believe this is real until I see an AI-generated version of myself eating their digital pizza.

[-] jobbies@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

Great news for my cholesterol

[-] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

They eyeing making ordering through digital apps only and not through the physical locations, though?

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 5 points 2 weeks ago

They have become a full tech company now.

Pizza coin coming soon!

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

Why would anyone want a physical dominos pizza?

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Resale value.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Resale value.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is what we get.

Meanwhile, we were promised this:

[-] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago
[-] ATS1312@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

I already have.
