Get Your Disgusting Pizza For Your Super Bowl Party Here
I watch TV late at night, usually catching up on the NFL football playoffs I have been missing since I have been blogging like crazy. During the commercials I noticed how much better the pizza’s looked, at of all places Domino’s. So much so I thought I would do a little inside investigation ala “60 Minutes”.
Domino's New Pie
It seems, someone noticed that shoving crust like cardboard and sauce like ketchup down customers mouths, just wasn’t doing the trick any longer. Even if you could get 15 pizzas for $20 (I kid), but they were damn cheap.
Believe me I used to own a pizza place and we made damn GREAT pie. So when a Domino’s down the street opened I didn’t worry one bit. Yeah I lost a few customers, the ones that lived on frozen pizza, but when they ran out and didn’t want to get off their lazy asses to go get more at the market, they called us. And of course they bitched because they had to pay more. This what what I said to them “to fucking bad”.
Domino’s could have everyone of those customers and with my blessings.
So I wondered if these new commercials were just a new ploy or did they really decided to give up the moniker of serving disgusting crap?
Last year on YouTube it seems a few of their prized employees Kristy Lynn Hammonds, 31, and Michael Anthony Setzer, 32 of Conover, NC made a few nasty videos, that showed them adding all kinds of crap to peoples orders. No need to go over what they did, but here is a link to watch it if you care to GROSS yourself out. It’s video number 2, and no I didn’t bother to look at what other great videos our wonderful fast food chains insert into our food orders.
It was bad enough that Domino’s has long been regarded as serving inedible food. Add these two gross video’s on top of it, they had these two employees fired and also had them arrested on Federal Charges.
It also seems that Domino, also responded by fighting fire with fire and released their own YouTube video in response. Yeah it’s boring.
They also decided it was time to actually care about the food they were making and selling us. Hence the new commercials I have been seeing. As this clearly illustrates, that viral marketing is now becoming a integral part of Corporations new ad revenue buys. The little guys voices are being heard and they can’t shut us up.
So now you get to go to your favorite blog and yes sometimes you will see, even us running an ad for a product endorsement, we think worthy. But not to worry, they won’t be over taking our original crazy thought up posts.
I am not making a penny on promoting Domino’s newest pizza, but I will be one of those new customers willing to give it a try. Not that it will look as good as the ones on the commercials, do they ever? As a side note, yesterday’s Colbert Report has Steven stating “Is that a pizza or did an angel just give birth in my mouth.”
But they didn’t run and hide and I like the fact they went after not only the culprits, but it was those two little gross videos, that made them decide to revamp their whole menu.
So this Super Bowl, why not try Domino’s and by all means let us know if the cardboard and ketchup were left out of their 15 new ingredients.

My wife's grandparent's ordered the new pizza the other day. Let's just say that they should have spent less on their "viral' videos and more on figuring out what pizza is, it sucked.

OH boy think we going to have a unanimous decision coming up, as their pizza isn't any better. Hopefully it is booger free though.
I saw that awful video long ago. I just don't frequent many fast food places anymore. That video is one good reason why. That and the fact that fast food is just way too unhealthy for me. When you get my age you can't just eat anything you want anymore. Just saying. I do want to know what you are thinking right before the first bite.
Have a terrific day Glenn. Big hug.
I agree with Ben Glenn. Oh, and by the way, I owned two pizzerias up until two years ago when the economy crapped out and Dominos moved in. I vowed to never buy their pizza, however we did a month ago and it was disgusting. My dogs wouldn't even eat the crust. No wonder we get along, two X restaurant owners with big attitudes.
Love ya

How about that Lauren, birds of a feather. Except I am not looking at ancient rocks, well the ones in my head can be classified as such
Luv ya back 
I ten to agree with you Sandee, I try and stay away as much as I can!!! Yuck!!
Glenn sweetheart, why do people buy dominos pizza ?
i think it's usually cause they deliver.
I have much better pizza coming out of my kitchen;
off my pizza stone, which lives IN my oven. why not
enjoy the best pizza by making your own, fresh.
you'll stop buying that frozen hockey puck.
I have to agree with you 100%. To be honest I have never had a slice of Domino’s pizza and from all the comments so far, it’s looks to stay that way. The mom and pops that are left, always have better food and will always do there first. I just love the way the make those pies and hamburgers on TV look so damn inviting. But we all know why advertisers get paid so much. Hey they even do it for Playboy and Playgirl too. Besides, who decides what perfect really suppose to look like anyway? Madison Ave?
Mmmmmm pizza. I can't even remember the last time that I had a slice. I don't see that ending at Domino's either.

God Bless you fitness guru's, don't know if I could ever give up pizza. Guess what I had for dinner last night? Yup
Crap. I actually like Dominos Pizza. I haven;t tried their new pizza yet but the last one I had…the fiery Hawaiian was darn tasty. Never knew about the boogers though, that kinda ruined it for me. Could happen anywhere, though.

Well it’s good that someone finally came to Domino’s rescue. That’s good Shelly to know a few people out there actually got some great tasting pizza. Thanks for posting.
Hi Mr. Glenn, dropping by on my Adgitize as I am now a big shot advertiser with them. Domino's Pizza and the Super Bowl? Shoot, don't think I will even be able to get the Super Bowl game here in the Philippines, but I did see a live cockfight broadcast last night. Don't think ESPN in the States carries that. Haven't run into Domino's here yet, we have Shakey's Pizza (which is great) and Pizza Smut, but if I find one I will check it out since you are such a smart guy.

Wow you saw cocks fighting on TV?? Yup you're right you would never see that on regular TV here, except if you pay for the Playboy channel or something.
Well so far it's running as Domino's Pizza not so good. compared to those who like it. Good to see you as always my friend and welcome to the world of being an advertiser. Would you care to purchase an ad spot here on MOB, I will give you a heck of a deal too, just mention "bonehead" when putting in your order.
Worked at an "almost" real pizza place years ago – but did learn the important differences between mass produced chain ingredients and the real stuff most neighborhood pizzerias employ. We're all big pizza fans and we're on a first name basis with the local shops delivery guys – it's really the only way to go for us!
I get all the ad industry papers and newsletters and this campaign is decidedly split down the middle as to weather it's a good idea or not. I like when company bigshots take responsibility for their product – most people like that aspect – but there are critics who are going to be pointing out that if it was so bad – why was Dominoes selling us crappy pizza for the past 40 years? Being contrite is also a tactic GM has employed for many years (we know our cars have sucked – but have you driven one lately?) with mixed results.
Great post!

Well I believe when Dominos was first started it was owned by a small time guy by the name of Tom Monagan or something like that. His biggest claim to fame back then, was making sure you got your pizza delievered to your door within 30 minutes or it was free. They seemed to stop that, after a few little old ladies got run over to get the pizza to the customer.He sold it off and is a Billionaire now. But your right, now their telling us their pizza sucked and we're suppose to now believe them, ha!!
