Now I know what you're all thinking--why are you writing an article about something that's just an accepted truth? Well, you see, although Domino's is regarded as the best of all commercial pizza chains, they still wind up getting a really bad rap. The problem is that Domino's isn't able to get the exposure that they deserve because people still think Papa John's is better. What is this, like, 2005? Let me tell you why Domino's is better than Papa John's.
1. Their crust.
Let's face it--Domino's trademark garlic crust is killin'. You'll never see one of these guys left alone in the box when everything's done.
2. Their deals.
Domino's has some of the best deals around. With the "Any 2 or more for $5.99 each" deal, you can get two pizzas for just barely the price of one at Papa John's.
3. They've evolved over the years.
It's comforting to see a large chain that actually cares about its product and their customers. Domino's wasn't always as good as it is, but who's complaining now?
4. The sauce-to-cheese ratio is just right.
Literally, there's nothing worse than biting into a slice of pizza and getting your mouth flooded with sauce. Domino's understands how important balance is in producing a good pizza--maybe Papa John's can follow in their footsteps.
5. They don't waste your time.
Okay seriously, who even eats these things? Why would a company invest so much into producing something that everyone just ends up throwing away with the box? I'm sorry, I thought I ordered a pizza?????
6. Their cheese doesn't come in the form of a solid block.
If I take a bite and the rest of the cheese comes off along with it in one solid mass, we have a problem.
7. They don't trick you into thinking they support the same sports teams as you.
This was the most confusing thing to me growing up. Was Papa John's doing an entire promotion just for Baltimore, MD? "They must love the Ravens," I thought. WRONG. Papa John's will literally lie and cheat their way to the top, and just when you think they're loyal, they'll turn around real quick.
8. Their toppings aren't similar to those found in a box of Lunchables.
Domino's toppings taste like they were freshly produced that day. I don't want to be reminded of artificial, plastic-like ingredients whenever I eat food. Better ingredients is to better pizza as worse ingredients is to worse pizza, I suppose?
I used to think Papa John's was the best, but it was really just because I hadn't been exposed to anything better. Now obviously a lot of local places blow these chains out of the water, but if we're talking strictly the commercial stuff, it's gotta be Domino's every time. Why would anybody want to eat a pizza that's made out of the same material as the box it comes in?
