Who wants to WIN a Domino’s Pizza $20 Gift Card?

A special thanks to Sean from Domino’s Marketing source, New Media Strategies, for contacting me to try Domino’s newly reinvented pizza, and offering a $20 Domino’s gift card to one of my readers.

I think we’re all in agreement that Domino’s pizza needed a major makeover.  I believe the last time I had Domino’s was close to 20 years ago; the crust was hard and burnt, the pizza had no flavor, and lacked depth.  We, the people, spoke loud and clear, and Domino’s listened!

What’s new?

  • garlic seasoned crust with parsley baked to a golden brown
  • robust sauce; sweeter, bolder tomato sauce with a medley of herbs and a red pepper kick
  • more flavorful shredded cheese; 100% real mozzarella with a hint of provolone
  • more taste, guaranteed

My Personal Review: Large Hand-Tossed with Mushrooms

Pros:

  • crust was soft and had a nice buttery flavor
  • sauce was bold with a little kick
  • pizza was hot and large
  • online ordering is very easy and convenient; you can personalize your pizza (light cheese, extra pepperoni, onion on half) plus there are a variety of online coupons available
  • good eaten cold too
  • store employees were very friendly

Cons:

  • closest Domino’s to my house is 6 miles away, no delivery option (I live 20 miles from Ann Arbor, MI, which is Domino’s HQ, you’d think there would be more locations around the HQ)
  • lack of mushrooms

Overall, a MAJOR improvement!  Way to go Domino’s!  I encourage you to try it, just once, you won’t be disappointed.

I love Domino's. One of my favorite things to do with my husband is put the squirrel to bed, order pizza, and watch a movie.

Ok, well I can't eat pizza so I won't bother entering (I don't eat wheat). But I did make some great pizza over the weekend, which really got me excited because I thought I'd never be able to eat a good pizza again!
When I was a kid I LOVED Domino's pizza, LOVED it. Now it's just OK, but I'd be curious to taste this knew one....maybe just a bite :)

I haven't tried their pizzas recently. The last time I had one it was very plain and boring so I would be interested in seeing how it's improved.
