Pizza Rating:
"You Got 30 Minutes?" Try 101. Yes, an hour and 41 minutes is how long we waited for our Domino's pizza to arrive on Thursday night. It was an all-time Slices of the City low. We ordered our pizza online at 7:14 pm. We called twice, once after 55 minutes, the maximum delivery time estimated, and then again at 8:49, when according to our online "Pizza Tracker" we already had the pizza. Both times, after first having to "talk" to the computer that answered the phone, (which also falsely reported that we already had the pizza), the woman at the Atlantic Domino's told us it was "on its way" and that the driver had several stops to make. The pizza arrived at 8:55 pm.
When we opened the box the pizza was at room temperature, which made sense if we are to believe the Pizza Tracker, which reported our pizza being taken out of the oven and put in it's "heat wave" bag at 7:25 pm (which would be an hour and a half before we received it.) Also, unlike Papa John's where you can pay with credit card and even put your tip on the card when you order online, when the Domino's guy finally arrived, AJ had to give him his credit card again for him to press and sign even though he had entered it on the website already. Plus you don't get the garlic dip or pepperoncini. The only reason it is receiving half a pizza rating is because it was, in fact, pizza (also, I haven't made a zero-pizza graphic).
The online "Pizza Tracker" that "hoped we were enjoying our meal" before we'd actually received it.
Yum, doesn't that cold, stiff, orange pie look delicious? Even Bruno sniffed it suspiciously.
"Is that what you guys were waiting for?"

Getting Domino's delivered to the college dorm room was a rite of passage. The love was gone by the end of freshman year, though. Of course, an unfavorable review of Domino's on this blog of pizza perfection is sort of preaching to the choir.
