What happens during the "quality check" portion of a Dominos Pizza order?

[Red Squirrel]

Do they have a full blown QA team running the pizza through a battery of technical tests before they put it in the box?

 

[lxskllr]

They lick the top to make sure it meets Domino's flavor standards.

 

[mnewsham]

They put it under a heat lamp until they have a driver available to take it out to you.

Exactly.

Sheese, they don't at least have a Pizza Pizza up in the boonies?

 

[Iron Woode]

that's when they spit in it and make sure its in the right spot.

Pizza Pizza blows chunks.

hehe yeah under the heat lamp waiting for a driver

i hate little ceasers too.... in my town dominos and pizza hut rule hardest..

the best pizza however comes from Luigi's..... small local italian restaurant, excellent pies and calzones

We used to have Little Ceasers here, it was one of the better pizzas. Dominos is ok, but nothing special. We only have one local pizza place here the rest is all chains. I tend to order from different places as they all tend to have their own flavors.

They load it with phlegm to test crust integrity. If it's strong enough to pass the phlegm is mopped off and the pizza is good to go.

Man it must suck eating pizza where you live if Little Cesars is considered one of the better pizzas.

I never said it didn't suck, but it's still leagues ahead of Dominos. That's saying something. D:

I just make my own pizza these days. It's stupid easy to do on the BBQ, and it's cheaper and faster than take out.

I agree it's miles better but cheaper? The milk alone to make the mozzarella costs more than a little caesar pizza.

 

[nageov3t]

quick spot check to make sure it's not burnt/no roaches have fallen on top of it while inside the oven, then into the box and under the warmers.

It was a long time ago though, we did not have Dominos then, don't think we had Toppers either. Actually a place I always forget about is 241, it's pretty good too, especially the two piece meal you can buy, there is something about them sitting in the heat lamp all day then being given a quick oven reheat that gives it extra flavor, like slow cooking a roast or something. :biggrin:

Pizza hut is good, but I don't really count that as a "pizza joint", it's more of a sit down restaurant. Can still order from there so I suppose I could count it though, may as well count Boston Pizza too. Their pizza is very good, but at places like that you are paying for restaurant quality. 40+ bucks when all is said and done vs 25 at the other places. A little excessive. Once in a while I'll order from those places as a better treat but not something I do often.

I imagine it sounds better to call it "quality check" than "sitting around waiting for a driver".

Only if you consider Little Caesar's to be pizza.

Their Crazy Bread is gooey deliciousness but that's about it.

We're blessed with some pretty decent cheap pizza here in Fort Collins. Krazy Karl's (local) is best, rivaling some of the places charging twice what they do. Blackjack (a Colorado chain) is a good alternative for a really cheap $8 pie.

I made the mistake of getting a pizza from Papa John's a couple months ago, because it was convenient and I was in a hurry. Wow. I had no idea how awful their pizza was.

I prefer pizza hut due to the staggering number of coupon codes and promotions. They have a Large 2 topping for $7.99 if you order online atm. And after you order online once, you get a survey offer in your email that gives you a $10 off a $20 order coupon code upon completion. I've gotten a large, 8 wings, a 2 liter and 5 breadsticks and sauce for $13 that way.

Little Ceasers

sucks big time...

I used to work at Domino's a long time ago (probably before they had online ordering etc.).

One thing they do check for is bubbles (pockets of air in the dough that have expanded due to heat during baking). You're actually supposed to do it in the oven and pop any developing bubbles with this long stick with a sharp metal end or whatever, but no one really does it.

Also, you're supposed to make sure you slice the pizza into even slices, but I think we all know how often pizza places care about that one.

Anyway, unless there's a manager looking over their shoulder or something, they will give exactly zero fucks about even the largest of air bubbles that may have developed, even if it's taking over half of the pizza, pushing over all the toppings from one side onto the other like some geophysical phenomenon just happened. So basically, as long as what comes out of the oven qualifies (within a high level of tolerance) as a pizza, it's going into the box and being delivered.

I prefer local shops pizza, 2x the price, 2x the size, but in the end i have less desire to eat pizza because it is so stuffing

This thread makes me sad. I count myself as spoiled as I never have to resort to the Cheap Chains.
