The old crust? "Cardboard," the company admitted in its ads. The old sauce? "Ketchup."
The new crust? Still cardboard. The new sauce? Still ketchup. Just my personal opinion!!!

Oh wait, you mean it wasn't really cardboard? Then the FCC should charge them with false advertising.

The old Dominos - execrable - the new Dominos - barely edible.

With food, it’s always the same thing. If you use fresh ingredients, avoid fillers, and properly prepare the dish....surprise....it tastes good.
BP, I didn’t realize they had a pizza division.
To: MollyKuehl
Okay, so where do you go for pizza? I’m always lookin’ for a better pizza...

My son works for Domino's.
He took some of my cold, day old pizza in to work and the guys like it better than their fresh.

With food, its always the same thing. If you use fresh ingredients, avoid fillers, and properly prepare the dish....surprise....it tastes good. Then the bean counters take over and say "We could have a bigger profit if we could get the same sales with just a little bit cheaper ingredients." Repeat that a few times and you get crap and either lose many customers or have to discount the price to capture the low end of the market.
The real test of a pizza is "would you eat it with just crust, sauce and cheese? No toppings, just plain." Few pizzas pass that test and rely on the toppings to make the base edible.
Fortunately I have a good pizza shop like that near me.

I used to get Domino’s pizza fairly regularly, and thought it was pretty good (if cooked well-done). In particular, I thought the crust was actually quite good, and the sauce was OK if a little bland.
Now I get pizza from a local chain that, IMO, makes a better, tastier pizza.
Really, though, there are so many different styles of pizza and everyone has their personal preference, that it’s hard to say that one pizza place, or chain, makes the worst or best pizza. Pizza Hut may come close, however, to being the worst, unless you LIKE your pizza crust soaked in oil.

Usually, any town has a “mom & pop” place who make it from scratch. The chains all suck.

Yup. It worked because it was true that the old pizza was lousy, and because their new pizza is much better. I wouldn't call it high quality, but it is pretty good, and I can eat it, whereas I couldn't stand the old kind.
If you were just making it up, the ad campaign would not have worked.

I discovered a wonderful thing called automatic bread maker so I've been making the dough there and adding the toppings upon the requests of my family and friends. To the day have we found something better. I know, it seems very unpractical but believe me, it's the wrong perception since we are in charge of the toppings.
We also discovered a local wood burning oven pizzeria which we use at times.
