"dominos" news and stories

Now that folks at Domino's Pizza are finished revamping their pizza recipe, they've turned their attention to their chicken offerings, introducing new Boneless Chicken (basically nuggets), and a reboot of their Chicken Wings. Here's how they rate:

The Claims: Domino's new Boneless Chicken is "lightly breaded with savory herbs, made with 100% white breast meat." The revamped wings are "now tastier than ever. Sauced with your choice of Hot, New Sweet Mango Habanero or BBQ Sauce." The Boneless Chicken can be "customized" with those same three sauces for dipping, in addition to the standards, Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing.

The Price: Boneless Chicken comes in 8-, 14-, or 40-piece combos, at $6.99 (410 calories), $10.99 (710 calories), or $29.99 (2030 calories), respectively. The new wings also come in eight, fourteen, or forty, for the same prices. (580-680 calories, 1010-1200 calories, 2890-3420 calories, respectively.)

Back in October, Domino's launched what seemed like the most over-the-top cheese pizza we've seen during our time here at Slashfood with their Wisconsin 6 Cheese Pizza. Well, that thought didn't last very long. Recently, Papa John's retaliated with not just one, but two pizzas: the Double Bacon 6 Cheese and the Tuscan 6 Cheese (both pictured to the left above).

Both pizzas are topped with a hearty helping of mozzarella, Parmesan, romano, asiago, provolone and fontina cheeses. The Double Bacon version also includes hickory-smoked bacon, as well as julienne strips of Canadian bacon.

Considering these two pizzas launched so close together, we couldn't help but compare them. Find out our cheesy thoughts about both after the jump.

For most of us, trying to recall our favorite TV commercial for a restaurant is kind of like trying to recall last night's dreams-a virtually indistinct sequence of half-remembered imagery: the stringy, cheesy uplift of a steaming slice of pizza, a slow pan shot along a foot-long sub, a sizzling fajita.

But the folks at Los Angeles-based Ace Metrix have figured out how to sort through this psycho-mess to determine which commercials are most effective, and they've just released their list of the top 20 restaurant ads of 2010, according to Nation's Restaurant News. (You can see all the commercials at the Ace Metrix site.) How do they do it?

Added Wednesday to Domino's American Legends Pizza line, the Wisconsin 6 Cheese pizza is the chain's first new product since Domino's changed their pizza recipe last year.

The pizza is topped with mozzarella, feta, provolone, Cheddar, Parmesan and asiago cheeses, making it one of the cheesiest pizzas on the market. According to Nation's Restaurant News, "Domino's is supporting the new pizza with ads that highlight its use of cheese from American dairy farms. The ads will feature customers in a focus group in what they think is an office until the walls come down to reveal a dairy farm."

We couldn't call Domino's fast enough for delivery this morning and we were lucky enough to have some of our very own pizza aficionados from sister and brother sites Lemondrop and Asylum to help us out.

For many a college student, pizza for breakfast isn't exactly a new thing: grab a cold slice of last night's leftover pepperoni from the pizza box that's still on the coffee table and you've got breakfast on the run.

But the new Domino's in Dayton, Ohio, is going where no other Domino's has gone before -- it's introduced a breakfast pizza that actually looks like breakfast.

According to Nation's Restaurant News, the Dayton Domino's takes an ordinary pizza crust and tops it with eggs and cheese. The morning pie costs $7.99, which includes three toppings. The store suggests such crossover combinations as ham and bacon; sausage, onions and jalapeños; or onion, green pepper and mushroom.
