I saw the backtracking article. Funny.

I've still seen Papa Johns commercials during NFL broadcasts. Did they just reduce the amount of ads m? I thought they were pulling them completely.

Said it with Chik Fil A, Hobby Lobby, etc.

It's best to stay out of politics if you're a business. Why offend any segment of your customers whether you like them or not?? You may see a short term ramp up in sales from politard types, but in the long run... BAD IDEA.

Domino’s has a made a case for the best fast food pizza out of the 3 major chains (Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Domino’s)

10 years ago, Domino’s was the worst of the 3, but they have done a great job improving the overall quality of their pizza.

i have a lot of go to pizza places too. Depends on what kind of crust and what toppings I want.

Pizza Delicous in Lakeview is my go-to on Tuesdays, they have $5 Calzones or personal pizzas. There are on my filling meal for less than $10 list.

Ancora if I want fancy, Domenica if I want fancy and drinks.

Dominos even, if I need to feed the family and am too lazy to cook. If you get them well done, they aren't bad. Take it over Reginelli's, Papa Johns or the Hut.

I need to try that real Chicago style place, not Midway, who I didn't like.

They cut their ad budget and sales went down.

This, if you go on the app, and change up the sauce and get the pizzas well done, they taste like they were cooked on a stone and not an Impenger.

Ahh, it's always someone else's fault.


frick him. He blamed Obamacare for raising price of order of wings by $1 AND removing one from an order from 10-9 in 2011.

He then blamed recession for going from 2 to 1 sauce cups in bread/cheese sticks and wings in ~13-14. This was when a wings order went from 9 to 8 as well.

The quality of boxes the cheese came in and the pizza boxes deteriorated(we had to inquire a LOT to find out why these boxes were suddenly thinner and shittier). They were changing suppliers of ingredients and raw materials.
All this changed as quietly as possible.

I know this for fact b/c I was working there and these were the 'official' reason handed down to franchisors->area/dist managers->store gm->employees.

And now this. It's fricking hilarious. Dude is an arrogant twat.

Domino's and Pizza Hut re-branding/resurgence is kicking his arse after dominating the profit margin for 20 yrs(not total revenue).
