US vs UK Domino's 2020 vs 2024 | Food Wars | Insider Food

[@watcherzero5256]

The problem with Dominoes UK prices is they are always on offer with a different offer every day of the week (usually buy one get one free or free size upgrade from small to medium or Large) and the offer differs between in store collection and delivery orders and the so base price is essentially meaningless. Ive been saying for years they need to simplify the price structure

[@william030]

yeah it pretty much always comes to 50% of the original price with BOGOF or just 50% off

[@DavidVenters]

america i dont think has as many offers , i certainly dont see americans shopping targetting specials

[@DarkCobra88]

Yeah, though i honestly hate this type of marketing though, kind of sucks as if you just want a pizza you are stuck between either BOGOF or the half-price... if collected, I'm not lazy but i used to order Domino's at work and have it delivered, i didn't start my lunch until it arrived and back then, free delivery meant it was okay value, now its pay for delivery, can't eat 2 and before i used to have someone who we would go halves and have one each so i end up putting it in the fridge which isn't ideal... it just isn't worth it now.

[@alexia3729]

yeah i noticed that recently, you cant go off the base price since there's never ending offers. especially the "large medium small pizza" for like £8, £10 whatever they just need to change their base prices honestly

[@beckybookreviews7820]

It is annoying too that online they automatically apply a deal which you may not want. So at the moment, a medium pizza is £10 and let's say you want a starter that is £6. That comes to £16 but when you put those in your basket online, it brings it up as an offer where the total is higher than £20 and you can't refuse the offer. They only way you could get them at the cheaper price if you do two transactions, but that will mean paying delivery charge twice, which, of course, is ridiculous. The "turn deal wizard off" means you get the RRP price which means your basket then jumps to £30

[@bennyceca]

Who on earth has ever paid the full price for a pizza from Domino's, Pizza Hut or Papa Johns in the UK? I never have, never ending offers!

[@OriginalElysian]

Same in the US. They always have a million coupons available.

[@azardboy6271]

I spent £90 on them he first time I order them because I hadn't even thought about the coupons....

[@TheNathanNS]

It's all a marketing tactic. Your average person isn't eating takeaway pizza every day, so when the occasion arises, you search for Dominoes or Pizza Hut and see "OFFER: 2 x large pizzas for only £15.99!!" to make people think they're getting a deal.

[@MostlyPennyCat]

Had anybody else found that UK pizza hut stuffed crust now takes up half of the pizza? Like, the crust is 2" wide now, losing you 4" of pizza to bad bread with hardly any cheese in it?

[@kayfay7674]

Americans have offers too, so we’re still paying more

[@christopheroliver8762]

2:30 important to note that in the UK, the price includes the sales tax. In addition, the UK doesn't have a very strong tipping culture. There is no expectation of tipping by the driver, and the vast majority of people don't tip. (although often people may give them a pound if they're feeling generous). So the US price is $19.99 for a large, plus sales taxes, plus tips. In the UK, its £21.99 ($26.88) for a large, all in

[@FoxeyeValkyrie]

Dominos always looked like it's one of those places where you tell your friends, "But the desserts are ok".

[@Denathorn]

I'm an avid meat eater, and enjoy a spicy meal, but when it comes to a Dominoes, I just love a vegi-volcano, but with extra jelopenos and a cheese stuffed crust, with a large garlic an herb dip for the stuffed crust... And, it's divine! So yeah, if the vegi-volcano came with more heat by default, it would be magic.

[@Dukekaboom95]

Glad I’m not the only one 😅 there’s something about pizza meat that makes me think nah I’ll have the veg volcano

[@orangerhue4168]

I work in dominos in the UK, we definitely still sell the meatilicious pizza! Stores change their menus from time to time, like mine stopped selling the absolute banger sometime last year. also the size of the pizzas won’t change because we have to make sure the dough fits the screen before it gets put in the oven, and the size of the screens doesn’t change😅

[@a-qy4cq]

Very stupid to compare UK price without deals - there is permanent 50% off voucher on their website since forever

[@mostly_harmless9000]

You guys should compare supermarket frozen pizzas in the UK and US.

[@CricketEngland]

Dominos is the single worst and most expensive place to get a pizza. In the Uk a large veggie pizza normally £23.99+ £2.99 delivery where as you can get a large pizza in most supermarkets for £6.00 or less However with dominoes current deals it’s currently £11.98 which meant there obviously selling at a reduced price as no one wants to pay the normal price

[@jackstclair6832]

[@lilsunny7399]

Dominoes at least here in Northern Ireland has done a "Price Slice" where there's "Deals" on that cut the price of pizza in half....during the week. Yes you're paying £24.99 for a large as soon as friday hits but if that pizza is yours on say, a tuesday, it's £12. And despite claiming it to be temporary, it's been almost 2 years now i think and it hasn't changed.

[@seanhodgkins821]

In England them deals are everyday I have seen. And some even cheaper if you limit the toppings to 2

[@Nossieuk]

Dominos and burger king in the uk are dead to me these days because of price - to the extent that I've bought a £2k pizza oven and make my own - yes things are expensive but rather than cover your costs you've just lost another customer that can literally make better ones at home.

[@Pjam]

Same here, bought a Gozney Dome last summer and havent ordered takeaway pizza since!

[@zemookhajiit4529]

To Joe: I am one of the people that prioritizes the sandwiches over the pizza. Why? The Italian sandwich is everything I could want from a Pizza without having a massive pizza, plus a couple things extra. I, myself, am not going to eat an entire pizza myself or even more than 1 or 2 slices. It sits in the fridge or my husband eats it after the fact. The sandwich is just enough for me to have and still be satisfied enough. And for 6.99 as part of their 2 or more deal, my husband can get a medium pizza for himself and I get a sandwich. Now, my question is : why do people go to Domino's for the pastas when you can get something similar elsewhere? Probably the same reason I do for sandwiches.

[@ItsToby01]

8:40 literally everytime I get that pizza I swap out the bbq for the tomato, it just makes more sense

[@Mysticil]

As someone who works for dominos's in the US I normally get the sandwhich because its a filling item that's quick and easy and its for one person and its not super expensive either.

[@annhenriques3520]

I can’t do that because every sandwich I’ve gotten at a Domino’s is overcooked with burnt ed.

[@nahor88]

Exactly, the one person thing. Growing up in a vegetarian household being the only one that's a non-veg, I was forced to suffer through so many veggie pizzas. If those sandwiches existed back then, I could have gotten that and let the rest of the fam get the pizza.

[@s125ish]

My local papa johns has shut down in Scotland

[@DarkCobra88]

100% same here. I refuse to pay for something like this from domino's, whilst they generally are nice pizza's, £20+ for a medium sized one is a joke, my local does buy one get one free for £12 for 12" or 3x 12" pizza's for £20 (create your own 4 topping, £18 if you don't want to make your own). It's ironic a small place can effectively do decent sized pizza for what works out as a fiver whilst domino's and other big points want £20+. We got a Domino's last year, my dad went into hospital for a risky surgery, waited until 11pm to get the good news, we had nothing to eat and nowhere was open but Domino's was, we bit out lips and ordered a "deal" for £40, 3 large pizza's, 3 sides, 1 2L bottle of drink and some cookies, expensive but we just wanted a meal brought to us. The pizza's was burnt and the same meal now costs £50 (£10 price hike in 8 months). Just a joke of a chain, high prices, no quality control and no justification for charging 20 per pizza.

Thing that puts me way off (in the uk) is the pricing model. You buy two medium pizzas and a couple sides and youve spent £100. "Ahh but here you go, 50% off". Still way over priced pizza. Instead a local pizza place charges £15 for 15" 😅 tastes great too.

Keys to ordering US Dominos: ALWAYS add extra robust sauce and order the pizza “well done” The $6.99 menu where you buy 2 or more items is the best value of the menu. The pan pizza is really the best crust and only an additional $2 *if ordered with the above promo. **Secret menu hack (which is shockingly great) that works with the $6.99 menu: Build your own pasta Add Alfredo sauce, sausage, onion. Then order the boneless chicken with bacon and tomato. Blend the two together and you have a really fantastic pasta dish for only $13.98.

Best pizza is anchovy, pineapple and jalapenos or chillies, don't knock it till you've tried it, sweet, salty/umami and spicy. (Obviously the pineapple needs to be cooked long enough and I prefer the anchovies slapped on at the end so they don't dry out).

Joe's progression to anger at Domino's is hilarious!! I completely agree though. It's so annoying to me how these fast food pizza chains love to act like they're "innovative" by doing these creations or none pizza items that aren't even that good or that original. Meanwhile they can barely do the pizza itself that well. Lose all the goofy stuff and let's focus on nailing down some good pizzas first. Outside of the Pizza, doing wings and some bread sticks or something simple, fine. Why do we need sandwiches or the other stuff though? Also pasta. I LOVE Pasta, but I hate that these chains try it. They never do it well. It always has to be super low quality to make it affordable to their menu price range but it just results in a tragedy of a pasta.

There's only one rule with pizza; every topping is good on pizza, except olives, so no olives. Also, parmesan (not the cheese) where I'm from, is a delicious piece of pork or chicken in bread crumbs topped with a nice thick layer of béchamel sauce and then cheese on top baked till it's caramelised. Local delicacy and it's truly delectable. This chicken parm thing from America doesn't even sound like it can compete.

[@matthighley1461]

Domino's Pizza in the UK uses a marketing tactic to make people think they're getting a good deal, by inflating their prices. The full price pizzas are always inflated. Even employees in most stores are specifically told not to sell pizzas at the full price. You can get pizzas for the same "discount" price every day, they just have different names for their deals every few days but ultimately it's basically exactly the same. The "never ending offers" is just a marketing ploy. That's the actual regular price of the pizzas, they just deliberately inflate the "deal-less" price as a way to trick a customer's mind. Collecting Pizzas in store we have access to "50% off" coupons every single day, and we never actually sell pizzas at the inflated so-called full price. The only people that do are the customers who are clueless and don't properly find out the coupon to use.
