I liked this commercial, and thought it was very memorable, because it showed some self-critical humility, with the promise to do better. These are virtues that appeal to Middle America, although it’s hard to know if there is any sincerity involved, or if it’s all just marketing fakery.
We tried it and the new stuff is awful. The old stuff was better BUT you have to have them give you more sauce otherwise it looked like they took one swipe across the crust. It would’ve just been easier if they had thought to use more sauce.
Agreed, that corporate restaurants doom themselves with that strategy. For a good long while, a decent pizza joing was becoming a lost art. Here in the W Washington area, we now have Farelli’s Pizza, a gourmet place. Otherwise, you have to find some nice mom and pop shop. I gladly support privately owned restaurants, and avoid all corporate eateries.
I’m glad Dominoes finally stopped sucking. But I’ve found plenty of other good sources for pizza and so don’t need to try it.
“Okay, so where do you go for pizza? I’m always lookin’ for a better pizza...”

Papa John’s? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....GASP....WHEEEZE.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....I’ll just pop a DiGiorno’s in the oven, it’s a lot better and costs less. There is no real pizza within a hundred miles of here.
Dominoes always tasted best of any to me.
I knew someone forty years ago who said that her father had once had a very busy “fish camp” near Charlotte, NC. For those who don’t know a fish camp is a rustic sort of seafood place big on good food and not much for decor. She swore that he took in a partner who destroyed the business just by trying to save a little money by watering down the iced tea. Knowing how people in the Carolinas love iced tea with fish it’s probably a true story.
Although I’m the one New Yorker who actually does order from Dominos as I like their pizza better than the 10,000 Ray’s Pizza places here (so my pizza taste may be somewhat suspect) I spent last summer in Italy and I have to admit that I thought that a good NY pizza was generally better than a good Italian pizza. Except for one place in Venice, I wasn’t a big Italian Pizza fan (although I didn’t go to that place in Naples, which is rumored to have the best pizza in the world...my travelling companion did, and she said that it was, indeed, the best pizza in the world).
Had the best pizza.....Long gone though.
Papa John's ain't bad....and there's a small pizza place in NE Oklahoma...called "The Pizza Place"...that's pretty good.
When I was a kid there was a national Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Reading Incentive Program my school took part in.
I blame it for the high illiteracy rate in the Gen X demographic.
Gotta admit, it got me to try them after giving up on them years ago and it was much better.
Companies have been saying “new and improved” for decades. What has always gone unsaid is that the old stuff was, well, old and crappy.
If you live in the Midwest - Caseys. Great Pizza for relatively cheap.
Miss my Chicago pizza though.
