Domino's Pizza

Update 1/30/13 ... they are improving. Last order the pizza was perfect, and the chicken pieces count was exact. Guess these reviews do work afteral! Aloha!

Basically, I have had better pizza! At least, better prepared. I've had a number of problems with this Dominoes to the point that I have basically given up. Their prices are too high, and if you ask to swap, say, olives for pineapple ... they charge you for an extra topping. No other pizza place does that. And, as already stated, their pizzas are not that well prepared. I've gotten pizzas with holes in it, pizza with fewer toppings than ordered ... like ordering an extravaganza and getting something that looks more like a cheese pizza. Sometimes I've even gotten a slightly warm pizza, and I live less than ten minutes from the place. Oh ... hate their chocolate lava cakes ... the lava tastes water-downed. On the other hand, they have great chicken pieces, though you seldom get the amount you paid for. Anyhoots ... maybe you'll have a better experience with them ... they do have a great sauce!

I just tried this place yesterday, and it knocked my socks clean off.

I called up STARVING to place an order for delivery -- that's when the magic started.  For the very first time IN MY ADULT LIFE, the person manning the pizza phone was nice and energetic.  It threw me for a loop at first.  I asked if there was a minimum order amount to get something delivered (there isn't).  Then I asked the different sizes and costs (a medium @ Domino's is 12" in diameter, in case I'm not the only one in America who doesn't know that answer).  Then I asked for "a Hawaiian" ... and the girl on the phone chats me up about the "Honolulu Hawaiian" for a good minute!  She was really stoked about the difference -- and sold it, too.

YOU WANT TO GET THE HONOLULU HAWAIIAN.

This place is THE BEST for several reasons:

1.  The girl taking orders on the phone should be a radio talk show host: she's that good.
2.  The pizza was at my door in 20 minutes!
3.  The pizza delivery guy could totally have topped Ol' Girl On The Phone in niceness and professionalism.
4.  The pizza was MUY DELICIOSO!  Ridiculous good, even.  

I used to be a Papa John's junkie, but forget about it: I'm all Domino's, all the time now.

Can't speak for the other Domino's, but the Laie one is magnificent. :D
