On Saturday I had pizza from Domino's for dinner. The first thing I'm going to point out about this post is that I'm not sure which Domino's provided my meal as I was hanging out with friend who was house sitting in Wavel Heights who ordered the pizza. As far as I can tell the pizzas could have come from any number of stores in the area. With that out of the way I must stress that I don't normally eat Domino's pizza unless it's the only option. On this occasion, I was with some friends and we were all settled in and didn't feel like going out again that day, so Domino's delivery was just the easiest thing to do. We ordered three pizzas: capriciosa, loaded meatlovers, and pepperonni, and some garlic bread. The capriciosia was bland. It was mostly just cheese and dough, with very little sauce, and sparse toppings. The loaded meatlovers is one of what Domino's describe as part of their "chef's best" range. According to the menu, this should have been full of meat, when in fact, all we got was mostly bacon and ham, with only small amounts of pulled and ground beef. This would not have been insufferable if it weren't for the fact that there was way too much barbecue sauce on the pizza, which at the best of times, is not my favourite sauce. The pepperoni pizza was probably the best of a bad bunch. This is probably due to the fact that it's pretty difficult to mess up something as simple as a pepperoni pizza. However, there should have been more pepperoni, and the addition of something extra, such as anchovies or olives would have been welcome. Upon the insistence of one of my friends this pizza came with a cheesy crust, which I felt added nothing to the meal, but at least it was edible. Finally, the garlic bread was actually pretty good, and possibly the only thing Domino's got right on this occasion, except for prompt delivery. This experience was regrettable and only confirmed my policy of not eating Domino's (or Pizza Hut or Eagle Boys), unless necessary.
