    Every few years I try Domino’s again to make sure my avoidance of them is justified and every time I’m reminded how right I am. Before you think I’m just a pizza snob, I like and semi regularly get Pizza Hut.

      Pizza hut is definitely better than Dominos, but at least in here (Spain), it’s expensive as fuck, whereas Dominos is not that bad and it’s much cheaper.

        Domino’s is dirt cheap here in Australia. Until last year, they were still doing large pizzas for $5 (which works out to something like 3 euros). They’ve gone up to $7 now, but that’s still really cheap for a pizza that really isn’t that bad

          It’s actually insulting that they’re still allowed to call what they serve as a large pizza a large pizza. Then they had the balls to offer an “extra large” for more money which was the size they used to be.

          By comparison though, they don’t offer anything that big in the US for anything near as cheap as $7 AUD.

        Pizza Hut in America is the absolute worst, Aussie Domino’s level I’d guess. The thin crust is marginally better than their other stuff.

    Yeah, but good luck finding a coupon for cardboard from Staples. They know they have all the power…

    It’s funny how different Domino’s America and Domino’s Australia is. In Australia their pizza is so cheap it sounds like it must be made of cardboard. Over here they use pretty good ingredients. Little Caesars is our cheap enough to be cardboard pizza place.

      As an Aussie living in the USA… Little Caesars is better than Australian Domino’s. Aussie Pizza Hut is terrible too.

      On the other hand, Aussie KFC is significantly better than the US version. Not as good as Popeyes or Chick Fil A though.

        I do enjoy my US KFC, but I can’t go there anymore after taking a peek inside their kitchen and seeing the loads of food safety violations.

    May as well straight up say “Were confident we use the cheapest ingredients available, and we couldn’t possibly pay our staff less!”

    Jokes aside, there’s actually a possibility of getting decent deals with this. I seem to recall both pizza hut and Domino’s doing similar things in the past, but I haven’t seen any of these signs in ages, so I just assumed they’d stopped doing it

    This is the Sebastopol Domino’s if anyone happens to be out that way and has some coupons for other pizza shops

    Canadian here. I hope you Aussies have managed to dodge the horrendous garbage that is Pizza Pizza.
