Domino's new pizza taste is just awful

Rather than go out and see Avatar, or take up my friend's request to get together after her party, I stayed in and watched James Franco host Saturday Night Live. But this blog post is not about Franco on SNL; its about the Dominoes Pizza I ordered.  I started to vlog this one, but I had to get out this news now while my taste buds are damaged, so here's my blog.

I read that Domino's Pizza had a new recipe that aimed to "put away the competition" as CBS News reported. So I decided to order a sausage, bell peppers, and cheese version from the store on Grand Avenue here in Oakland.




Aside from the fact that the delivery person didn't understand how to use the intercom system where I live, and had to come twice, the pizza itself was just plain awful. Now, it was cold but warming it just worsened things. I'm sorry. I read that Domino's spend two years developing this new taste; what the heck were they thinking?

A pizza is made by the crust, the sauce, and the cheese. The Domino cheese, whatever it is, is so bad I don't even want to finish my pizza. And the sauce is so bland, it might as well not be on the pizza.

I'm now eating the Cesar Salad I ordered to go with it. In fact, I'd have been happier with just the salad!

I don't order pizza for delivery very much at all. The last time I did, I called Round Table Pizza, also on Grand Avenue here in Oakland. That was a very good pizza called "The King Arthur Special." No, I'm not sponsored by Round Table Pizza, just an FYI. But if they called and wanted to sponsor a vlogger, I'd be happy to take on the effort. Count me as a fan. Their pizza has a great, thick, chewy crust and the sauce really has a good tomato taste.

The pizza I prefer, and which they'd deliver to my area, is Zachary's Pizza in Oakland on College Avenue in the Rockridge District. Now that's great stuff!! The sauces and cheeses are just perfect - especially their sauce. And the crust is to die for. I'm not a chef but I know a great sauce when I have it, and Zachary's Pizza has it.

I'm not going to order from Domino's Pizza for a while - like another year. They need to go back to the drawing board with there approach. The cheese has some taste that hits my nose in such a way that I feel like hurling. I'm really serious. I am not kidding at all.

If Dominoes CEO David Brandon wants to know what a really great pizza tastes like, he should fly to Oakland and visit Zachary's Pizza. That's the stuff.

    We had the Dominos new pizza last night. Got to tell you that all five of us thought it was great. We noticed and liked the change. The sauce we did not notice, but the cheese and garlic crust were excellent.
