Domino intoduce 'gourmet pizza'

[quisquose 10]

Some people like paying £14.99 for a bit of flour, yeast, water, plastic cheese and a couple of bits of wafer thin ham.

 

Bargain.

 

At least you can buy in the knowledge that every penny spent can help to finance the Word of God Christian cult.

 

The founder of Dominos seems decidedly weird, enough to make me not want to buy their pizzas anyway.

You have obviously never eaten one if you think that's what you get for £14.99. Personally I prefer pizza hut but their pizzas are certainly not as bad as you make out.

 

Exactly despite the price Domino's is still better than other takeaways for pizza. Most cheaper local places don't specialise in it and they are never hand made.

 

Pizza Hut pizza's are greasy and I swear the ones that get delivered are not hand made.

Yes I've had loads since I bought mine! I have it down to a fine art form! They are great. You have to be careful to make the base thin enough (like no thicker than a pound coin) to ensure its cooked by the time the toppings are done. The stone needs to be so hot that when you drop your base on you will see it start to bubble up almost immediately like a nan bread in a tandoori oven. I put my stone in the cold oven, turn it on max, give it at least another 10 mins after the light goes out, then remove. I turn my oven down to about 220 before putting my pizza back in as I found that leaving it on max meant the topping started to burn before the base was cooked. I guess all ovens are different so its down to trial and error really but when youve cracked it you can enjoy yummy pizza forever

 

You need to do me one of these. Do you have a menu, and do you deliver?

Pizzahut bases are not hand made and they spray an oil on the crust before its sent out that's probably why they seem greasy to you.

but work out the cost of the ingredients, cost of gas or electric for the oven etc... and you come pretty much close to what it costs for takeaway any way!

 

I worked it out once that buying all the ingredients, and topping etc comes to about £8 for what would be the average 12" pizza, you can get a 12" pizza dlivered for the same price (or less) and none of the effort

 

Nah its cheaper than that- this is what I buy

1 bag of tesco white bread mix 69p- enough for 2 twelve inches (although 12 inch is too big for ickle me. 9 inches does me fine . So dough = 35p

 

1 ball of mozzy cheese - 50p for cheapo but adequate

 

1 tin tomatoes - 50p

 

fresh basil - 80p and use 20p worth

 

clove of garlic - 40p per bulb and use 5p worth

 

Total for a margherita style 12 incher - £1.60 + your electricity! Loads of money left for your choice of topping!

Not hand made bases but they still charge Domino's prices on delivery.

I am usually convinced by Domino's once I get a new batch of vouchers.

 

Although really I think for their more basic pizza selection they should charge less or charge less for extra toppings at least.

 

I always found local takeaways do pizza's where the box usually tastes better than the pizza itself. Although they do taste better on the way home on a drunken night out.

If you piece the mushroom you get back together again (which i have coz Im sad:hihi:) it usually makes up about 1 mushroom. This puts the cost of their mushrooms of dubious freshness at around £50 per kilo

They're not mushrooms, they're truffles!

Dominos have a crown? I think you may be getting mixed up with Burger King.

 

Will take you up on the offer though!

I wondered why it took so much snuffling around in the topping to find one!
