I can't believe it. I used to think their pizza was crap and hadn't it in literally probably about 10 years but now with the whole "makeover" I actually really like it. And the chicken carbonara pasta in a bread bowl... I'm actually developing cravings for it. This is weird.
I swear I'm not spamming. I just found it surprising to have such a huge personal opinion change on Domino's. |
| Does Dominos still support anti-choice groups? |
| Yes. And the owner of Domino's is an asshole extraordinaire. |
| If you knew how many calories were in that pasta bread bowl you might think differently of them |
|
Interesting. Not about the calories. A big duh to that one.
I know about the calories in Chipotle burritos and the sodium and fat in Chinese takeout but it doesn't stop me. |
Yes to both of these things; for these reasons I don't ever buy pizza or anything else from Domino's. |
| I agree with the OP. Definite improvement in their pizza. Just noticed it at a recent birthday party where they ordered Domino's for the kids. |

I grew up in Michigan and I always found Tom Monaghan's story quite fascinating. A total rags to riches, father died, single mom couldn't afford to raise the kids and he got sent to an orphanage. He was/is a self made man. While you may not agree with his political views, he was a very interesting case study when I was in business school.
He is pro-choice and left/sold a majority of his interest in Dominos sometime about ten years ago. I think he still has a very small interest and is not involved in the day to day operation. I have family friends who own some of the franchises and I believe that over 90% are franchised owned. There food has definitely improved over the past few years. I used to eat in all the time growing up that and Little Caesars which is the other big pizza chain that is based out of Michigan. |
| I disagree that Domino's had improved. We ordered it the other night - first time in ages. Gross! I had one piece for lunch today (yuck) and tossed the other 3 leftover pieces as I knew they were too gross for any of us to want to eat again. I wish they were good. |
| I too ordered the "new and improved" Dominos pizza-I couldn't tell a difference between the new one and the old one. Is it just me? |
I think you mean anti-choice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Monaghan |
It's not just you. I did the same thing the other evening and it was terrible. Same as before. Cardboard crust. |
| We love Domino's, every Friday night. |
Agreed. I tried it recently, and it was grim. However, I just had my first pizza (pick up only) from Vace in Bethesda and it was fantastic. I didn't ask their views on abortion, though since they are Italian they may also be Catholic..... |

hahah @ pp.
i agree, vace is some GREAT pizza. but unfortunately with the limited locations, it's not as convenient as the chains. |
