Week 39: Domino's Pizza

So this week we cheated.  At least we feel like we did.  Sitting on the couch, watching football, slowly growing more and more hungry, the same commercial kept popping up.  Domino’s is REALLY trying to sell their new “Artisan” pizza!  We had a busy week and we thought - why not?  Let’s see what they consider “artisan.”
We hopped on the Domino’s website, entered our online coupon code and ordered the Italian Sausage & Pepper Trio and the Spinach & Feta, plus one small plain cheese for the girls.  As the website showed us the progress of our pizza being cooked, we jumped in the car to pick it up, only 5 minutes from our house.

The Artisan pizzas were pretty cheap - $7.99 for each, although they really got us with the plain small for $8.99 (really!?!)  They were fast, and their website ordering is actually really fun... but guess what... Domino’s Artisan pizza is still Domino’s, just in a new shape.  The crust is the same, the toppings might be in a different combination, but they are the same too.  It is a step above DiGiorno, but not by much.  Don’t be sold by the creative looking chef in the commercial; it is still delivery, it is still Domino’s, and although your kids might love it (ours did) you definitely don’t get any of the originality, flavor, or freshness of a truly good pizza.

Disappointed?... a little.  Surprised?... not really.
The Final Report: 5.0 out of 10
If you must order from Domino’s - skip the Artisan pizzas and stick with their thin crust, it’s actually fairly decent.
