    Whilst massively overpriced every now and then Dominos are just what you need.
    I had a problem once - one pizza (of 4 total ordered) arrived uncut. Rang to complain and without hesitation they simply resent the entire order (yes all 4 pizzas). So they clearly don't care about losing the profit on a lot of pizzas since the markup is so huge.

    You couldn't cut a pizza yourself? I have now lost all faith in humanity and am praying for the nuclear holocaust to end it all now.

    Of course I could, and I did. I also got 4 free pizzas.

    If a company can give 50% discounts if you work for a particular company than it shows much much mark-up the full menu-price is.

    Independent pizza place near me (where there is a lot of competition) does any 11" pizza for £3.50 - made fresh from a lump of dough in front of you. If they can do that, I'm sure Dominos could do their pizzas for a lot lot cheaper than they do :)

    Supply and demand, and marketing. Of course they could do it cheaper - their business plan and performance shows that they (currently) don't need to. ;)
  • They often get my wife's pizza wrong as she does not have cheese on it. This always results in a new one being sent straight away and we get to keep the other one.

    They have good CS :)

    £3.50...you're being ripped off. My local independant pizza place does a 2 topping pizza for £1.99 collection only.

    Dominos forgot my garlic bread the other day - the driver said he'd send someone else with it but of course they never came. I'll ring them and see if they'll compensate me!

    I have no cheese on my pizza and they have got it wrong once in about 15 years which is good going
