Online Ordering should not exist. We don't need it.
My last experience with Pizza Hut was enough to make me want to throw my computer against the wall, when I tried ordering online today with Domino's my luck wasn't any better.
First my anticipation in trying the new Oven Toasted Subs at Domino's for $4.99 only made matters worse as it seemed I couldn't get through the steps fast enough. When I finally thought victory was around the corner I got an error message because Domino's doesn't deliver unless the order is at least $8.99 (mine was $4.99). Couldn't they have told me that at the beginning of the process?
About 30 seconds later, I had placed my order for a Spicy Italian by phone. (The way I should have done it in the first place).
Ever since Domino's launched with this new menu item a few months ago I have been itching to get my hands on one. The fact that they are now claiming their sandwiches beat Subway in a national taste test 2 to 1 is even more intriguing.
After my own personal taste test, below are 7 reasons why you may want to consider getting a Domino's Oven Toasted Sub over any place else:
1. It costs $4.99 - a great value.
2. Piping Hot - cooked at over 400 degrees this sandwich is nice and toasty.
3. Loaded with Meat - all of the sandwiches are stuffed with meat, unlike other sub places where there is more bread than meat.
4. It's served in a super cool box (consider it part of the experience)
5. Spice. Spice. Spice - with Domino's pepperoni, and green and yellow peppers this sandwich has some kick.
6. The Bread - soft and squishy and crispy on the edges. It's perfect. Some of the best bread I've had.
7. Baked, not Heated - unlike other sandwich restaurants this sub is actually baked in a real oven, not warmed in a microwave or run through a mini oven.
I'm not surprised Domino's sub beat Subway's everything about it is significantly better. No it's not a Footlong, but when you have something that tastes this good I don't think it really matters.
Now, if Domino's would deliver it without a minimum order amount and would either kill their online ordering or make it easier for customers to use, it would really be a perfect world.

Hey, if you really want to save money, pick it up! That way, you're only paying for the food or whatever else you're buying. When you have it delivered, you pay extra.
ReplyDeleteGood call. I should have mentioned that in the post. Picking it up is always a better solution, they wanted to charge an additional $2 for a "delivery charge" and I also assume that you are suppose to tip on top of that. For the "convenience" of delivery you usually have to go through the pain of ordering online (if you choose), wait an extra 15-20min, pay $2 delivery charge AND tip the driver. Wow, doesn't seem convenient to me.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for a post on dominos subs! they are rediculously good. They're definetely my favorite in your showdown
ReplyDeleteI've yet to try the dominos subs because I don't think there's a dominos near me (in Ybor). I'll have to take a drive out to the one on Hillsborough this week to try one. Any particular sub you'd suggest?
ReplyDeleteDenis -
ReplyDeleteGo for the Spicy Italian, it's the one I got and from what I can tell it seems to be one of their best. The employee at my Domino's agreed and told me it's her favorite as well.
I have tried the chicken parm sub a couple times now and like it. (first time had some cartilage though, but not the 2nd time)
ReplyDeleteNot too big, not too small, the size is just right for me. And yeah, more meat than bread is good. And the whole thing is warm, unlike subway/quiznos.
Bad thing is that I looked up the nutrition, and the sub has almost 800 calories. whoa! oh well, what do i expect from dominos, can't eat healthy everyday.
What subway do you people go to? Sounds like a crappy one, I've had the Philly from Subway, and it beats Domino's hands down. Also, Subway does bake their own bread, domino's doesn't make their dough fresh, it's in frozen just like all other chains. Every single food chain has their product shipped to them frozen.
ReplyDeleteHowever Domino's Philly has a good taste, more veggies than meat, more cheese than anything, if you're a cheese lover, I suggest it.
To Mike above me, more veggies than meat? That sucks if you ask me. You said that Dominos dough comes frozen and you said that Subway's philly "beats Dominos hands down". So let me ask you, after you totally bashed Dominos and their toasted subs in your entire comment except for ending with "I suggest it". Do you think it sucks but suggest we try it? What's going on here?
