A reminder why I make my own pizza

[21TonyK]

After 2-3 days of solid cooking and eating last night no-one could be bothered with making anything and the sight of ham, cheese and crackers was no longer appealing.

So... £26.99 later two pizzas, wedges, garlic bread, cookies and a bottle of coke turn up from Dominoes on the "advice" of 21Jr.

What a complete farce. Pizza had little flavour other than salt, base was soggy and no real crust. Wedges looked inedible and remained so. Garlic bread had the texture of a sponge.

We only get one or two takeaways a year, normally from a local Nepalese or Cantonese place.

Do many people actually eat this stuff or is it mainly for kids on a Saturday night?

Had a pizza from Dominoes once when they opened a store where I live, not been back since!
Very popular with the army based around here as military receive a 50% discount.

I actually like Dominos pizza. It's a takeaway that's better than the competition.

Nobody ever pays full price for one. They are always on offer.

So far today on PH I've heard that only grannies shop in HMV and pondering if only kids buy Dominos.

Do many PH members get out of the house?

I'm quite partial to their double pepperoni pizzas but only if I can cadge an extra garlic dip or two from them, and only when they've got a deal on. The place is only 2 mins drive from here so the family size one for £8 if you collect it suits me. No way I'd be paying the usual price of £20 or so for it though.

Dominoes is the crappest excuse for pizza. Literally any of the other big names are better as are the proper Italian pizza places.

Dominoes might be better than some Kebab places that do pizzas but that's about it. Absolute muck.

OP poor post.

You need to try the best local pizza place and compare that to your own efforts as opposed to Dominos.

Sometimes a takeaway deep pan really hits the spot, but I've been disappointed more often than not. They are always vastly improved by leaving them in the fridge overnight then re-heating them in the frying pan the next day. Flip it over to make both sides really crispy. No need to use oil.

Great word!

PH rating 4/10. Not enough swearing. Trying too hard with the insertion of "Cantonese" and "Nepalese" as your typical take away. Only thing that would have been worse is moaning that the delivery boy missed your gated driveway.

Like a Dominos myself, thin base with a couple of sides, particularly the pepperoni dough twists.

Tried the other main one once or twice, horrible deep slab of dough and tasteless toppings.

To be fair to the OP, we do very occasionally get delivered a duffer from Dominos, I assume differing 'chefs' ( ), but that's only been 1 or twice in 5 years from our local shop.
