    Used to deliver for them, can confirm all the above. Some other stuff:

    • Yes there’s less of each individual topping when you order a bunch of different toppings, but I promise you that you don’t want a normal amount of each topping on your supreme pizza. The center would still be raw, probably even if you put it through twice.
    • The 50% weeks are mostly a scam. It’s usually cheaper to use the other good coupons (e.g. mix and match) than to take 50% off normal menu price
    • Unless you’ve got a big/otherwise pain in the ass to deliver order, a $10 order is just as much work to deliver as a $60 order. I personally tip based off distance rather than total because of it, and most my coworkers also preferred this method.
    • Brooklyn pizzas are just normal pizzas using dough 2 sizes smaller (for example an XL brooklyn is just a medium dough stretched thin). In general if you’re looking to maximize food per dollar, normal hand tossed is what you want
    • For the love of God don’t buy soda from the store if there’s a gas station or something that’s not out of the way. It’ll be half the price at most.
    • The dishes probably aren’t being cleaned properly. If you’re lucky your local store has 1, maybe 2 closers who actually give a shit and try to do it right. I imagine that’s pretty standard in food service though.
    • If you order delivery 2 minutes before close, you’re braver than I. I had a hard policy of don’t fuck with peoples food but not everyone does, and you sure as fuck aren’t getting it on time.

      I worked at Domino’s for 6 months and was the closer who actually gave a shit about dishes, 5 nights a week. They fired me for mixing up what day I was scheduled, once. I was easily the best driver/closer at the time, LMAO.

      If we actually took an order 2 minutes before close, it was always the fastest delivery of the night. Those orders literally never tipped me more than $1.50. Even the people who apologized for doing it.

      Not sure what the chicken thing is about, we didn’t do it whatever way he was saying.

        Specialty chicken may have been different depending on the franchise. At mine, the opening driver would prepare a tub of it by literally cutting the boneless chicken in half.

        And yeah, being seemingly the only person in the store who gives a rats ass about food safety suuuucks. The amount of times I ended up redoing the entirety of the night before’s dishes because the closer didn’t give a fuck was insane. I never did that shit to help the company, I just was never going to be the reason people got sick.

    I don’t know if it’s available everywhere or is it common knowledge. I always sign up for the newsletter using a 10 minute mail box to get a half off code for a pizza.

    I just want to know if I can buy the garlic parmesan wing sauce anywhere. It’s the only sauce that actually tastes like it’s called. Every other garlic parmesan sauce I ever tried are always sweet and tangy.

    It is grand to live in the age where the secrets of the pizza lords are passed as easily as the wind blows into the trees.

    Buy your pizza at a small independent local pizza place.

    It’s going to be so much better than Dominos/Pizza Hut/Papa John’s/etc that is not even funny.

        As someone who has exclusively worked nights for the last 6 years, I have never needed a shitty pizza at 3am. I’d go with frozen pizzas over dominos any day.

          Fine and well when supermarkets were open 24/7 or if you have one already, but in this day and age, at least in my area, the pizza places are open later than the groceries.
