I do not like the way Domino's slices its pizzas.
Square slices? WHY? Damn it! Somebody winds up, inevitably, with the slice from the middle of the damn pizza. How are you supposed to eat the damn pizza without a crust to hold on to?!?

GRRRR!

1. Easy solution: Don't order from Domino's
They donate heavily to conservative causes, too.

14. You tell 'em too (2)
Never ever put one cent into the pocket of those folks. You will probably not like what your money is spent to advance.

Plus, it has to be the world's shittiest pizza. I'd spread warm cat turds on a cold bagel and eat that before I'd eat their pizza.

Well, no I wouldn't, but a little hyperbole never hurt anyone.

15. I got turned off by Domino's about 6 or so years ago
Long before any news of political affiliation. Really enjoyed it in College, liked it into the 90s, but then the flavor went wrong.

I like Papa Johns (especially the dipping garlic butter) best of the commercially available pizzas (in NE Ohio). Probably what turned me from Domino's. (No delivery from any major chain in my neck of the woods).

Donato's is next (surprise? Used to be owned by McDonald's).

Of locally owned "hole-in-the-wall" shops, there's a little place about ten miles away. Funniest thing. I swear this little Italian pizza shop is owned by Russians. Great pizza, plus.

36. Actually....
the original guy who gave to Operation Rescue is no longer in charge, but GOP's right. They still give heavily to Repubs.

They were talking about this on "Unfiltered" the other day.

2. Doesn't the Wendys corporation own Domino's?
:shrug:

Or is it the White Castle people? Wait, maybe not them, for the pizzas would have 5 gaping holes in them... :D

7. Hey, me, too
From Arkansas, that is.

And since when does Dominos cut its pizza in squares? We had that just a week or two ago and it was cut normal.

12. I prefer Pizza Inn.
I refuse to eat Pizza Hut. Ate that lousy cheese-in-the-crust pizza a few years back and the whole family got sick, if you take my meaning.

26. Pizza Inn tastes great.
I remember going there as a kid on a visit to the south. The experience was great, but I wouldn't go back. It's heavily Repug and sells franchises in Saudi Arabia.

27. Never buy anything from Pizza Hut except
thin crust. My former roomate and one of my current roomates were both cooks at a local Pizza Hut (college jobs, what fun :)). They told me that they had to put two cans of oil into every one of their pizzas. One on the bottom to coat the pan and then one on top. Plus, all of the pizza dough is premade, frozen and shipped to the local restaurant(for those who did not know). I don't know if other large pizza places make their's any better but I just wanted to warn you and your heart to shy away from the Hut.

Pizza isn't real outside of Chicago.

You know that the first pizza place in the Western Hemisphere was Lombardi's in New York, right???

25. I'm a New Yorker, and NY style pizza is annoying
Give me some g-amn cheese already on it, and make it f-ing susbstantial, you know?

It's one of few food items that I really think NY needs to work on getting to an acceptable level. I mean, there's so little cheese you can see the @*^@#$% sauce, for God's sake.

What kind of pizza is that?

This is the one area in which Chicago does pretty well. And I'mnot just talking about food. I mean, in all the areas in which can be judged - sports teams, intelligence, food, cleanliness, the arts, educational institutions, relevance to the world in general - pizza is one of few things that Chicago not only doesn't suck at, but does really well at.

It is fine if you like lasagna, but real pizza (thin) comes from New York.

To say that one is the best and the other completely sucks seems pretty assinine to me.

37. NYC pizza is pathetic - absolutely terrible
It tastes like a piece of cardboard with a small amount of tomato paste and cheese thrown on it to avoid being called cardboard. Hell, even Buffalo, NY has MUCH better pizza than NYC.

Chicago pizza is the absolute best. And no, the Orlando UNO franchise doesn't taste like Chicago pizza. If you haven't had Lou Malnati's, Edwardo's, Arrenello's, Chicago's or Ranalli's, you don't know what you're talking about.

California pizza and Margherita isn't bad either - just different. NYC pizza still sucks though.

Best not to let an Italian overhear you saying that. Best pizza is thin crust wood oven baked margarita...no ifs ands or buts.


And no I'm not Italian.

24. Screw that - I don't like the way Domino's MAKES their g-amn pizzas
and I don't like their right-wing assmuncher owner, either.

Their pizza sucks, their politics sucks.

The cutting of the pizza is irrelevant to the fact that isn't f-ing edible.

29. Pizza is like
sex; even when it's bad, it's pretty good.

Except for Domino's. I'd go through life without pizza. I'm thinking about the rest.

35. don't think...
I didn't catch your subtle inversion of that "Reality Bites" quote.

DID YOU KNOW?: "Reality Bites" was one of the last, if not the last, major movie to take money from tobacco companies in exchange for having the characters smoke a certain brand (Camels). That movie is also why I myself started smoking, so they got me at the buzzer.

34. Pizza and Women Exercising
I've lived in both NY and Chicago, and I prefer NY pizza. It doesn't need toppings, only the shit at the counter (salt, pepper, red stuff, green stuff)... and that orange liquid that runs off? The nectar of the Gods, my friend. Noplace else has that.
And the whole Domino's Op-Rescue thing--that's not true anymore (if it ever was)? It's ok to eat Domino's again (hypothetically)?
Which reminds me: That workout-place-for-women, "Curves?" The dude who runs those is a massive GOP donor--pass the word along to women to work out somewhere else (like my office on my lunch break)...
