EWWW: Dominos pizza

I'm a big fan of dominos and so is my sister. Every week we order and a while ago when they did the BOGOF we did it every Tuesday.

The past month though we have noticed it got quite bad. One week we had to complain because it had so much grease it had soaked through the cardboard then another they got the order wrong. The person on the phone said sorry. They apparently had a new manager who was a bit cack. So last week was our last order.

Picked up a local newspaper today to find the place we got pizza delivered from has been closed as an inspector has found loads of rat droppings. Apparently making it look like they had been there for several weeks. I know I sometimes order extra toppings but that is just wrong.

Needless to say I felt beyond sick and I am never ordering a pizza from there again.

On the good side it will save me some money :j

    I've stopped buying take away food because I'm back in training (polishes halo)

    Went in a local independent pizza shop a few months back. Blokey wasn't behind counter so I stood there waiting and looking at the food prep area for a while. It looked filthy. Dirty cloths. Dirty worktops. Flies everywhere.

    I turned around and walked away. I will never go back.

    Try this to check on any food selling place.

    My local Domino's scores 5 / 5. I never have them delivered as I am slightly out of the area so I go and collect. The prep area is very clean, staff are friendly and its quite interesting watching them make them!

    was going to buy domino's but wrong day for BOGOF so looked at a local one, seemed ok but still, 20 quid for 2 x 12inch and a garlic bread. decided to eat scampi and fish and peas out the freezer, loads of food, cost maybe 5 quid total for two.
    and to think, i also used to order every week! 20 quid x 52 = potential 1000 pound saving per year!
