Domino's Pizza. Is their pizza any good?

The last time I ordered from Domino's it wasn't very good.
Random but I'll bite...no pun intended.
I enjoy Dominos for their crust. It is kind of a garlic seasoning to it that I find very tasty when fresh. So, I like Domino's. I have mixed results with Pizza Hut so I tend to stick with Dominos, or other local shops. Prefer take and bake if that's an option.
They have a good variety of food to choose from, lots of fun bread, cinnamon twists, chicken options and such. I believe they have a Buffalo Chicken option, as well as lava cake. They usually do some great deals on the app so try it out. No harm, no foul.
That's how businesses work. Give terrible options and people keep spending money because they hate it.
The Dominoes we've got in my town, (eastern Netherlands) makes pretty good standard run of the mill mass production pizza in quite a few flavours and choices of what you can put on them, however they're of course nothing compared to freshly made stone oven pizza from the local Italian pizza restaurant.
A couple years ago, Domino's fiddled with their recipe, but I think they changed back pretty quick.
Domino's is OK carry out pizza, as is Pizza Hut, Little Caeser's and Papa John's. Each one is a little different so people generally have a favorite among those four. I can eat any one of them, but again, it's only OK.
I can make a Digiorno's taste better than most of the carry out options with some extra pepperoni, a jar of mushrooms, extra cheese, some garlic powder and oregano and buttering the crust.
Otherwise I have a Rosati's and a few other not so big chains around that can make a much better pie than the big-4.

Also, Chicago deep-dish pizza is more of a casserole than a pizza, so it doesn't matter who makes it, it's too much for my taste 
I'm more of a thin crust or Italian Style man.

Exactly.
I'm not joking, BTW.

I LOVE Chicago style pizza. I was in Chicago this summer and I ate at Lou Malnati's every day (there was one just a block away from my hotel). I am a total convert to the deep dish.
Jon Stewart would not agree, though...
As for Domino's? Meh. I ate Domino's when I was in college, but only because I had to. Domino's is mass-produced, unremarkable, chain "fast food" pizza. Only when there's no alternative...
Oh and before I forget..YESSSSSSSSSSSS TO PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA!!!!
I'll reiterate, that's a pizza casserole
and I had one from Rosati's a couple months ago. Just too heavy, tho the Malnati's one I had a few years ago was seriously undercooked.
We have a small chain called Jimano's around here. All of 8 locations and 4 of them within 10 miles of me.
Really good thin crust pizza and even good ribs (better than a couple actual BBQ joints).
Rosati's is great for even non-pizza stuff. Great pasta too.

Agreed.Oh and before I forget..
When it's possible I agree. But, right now, that's a two hour wait for pizza. Some nights that's not doable.
I've strangely never had Domino's, but my body's probably thanking me. Mostly it's Little Caesar's for us as the price is good and cheap. I'd like to support more locals, but the thing we've experienced is that they've tended to be so expensive as to not wanting us to bother. We tried one local wood-fired place that had opened during the pandemic, but the price for what you got was underwhelming, given that the crust was thin like paper.
It's fine for what it is. When I do go there I get my pizza without the garlic butter on the crust because it makes it too greasy. Generally I prefer Pizza Hut (especially when I'm in the mood for a pan pizza) but there isn't as much of a difference between those big chains as they want you to think.
Ages ago, Pizza Hut was pretty good when it was more of a sit-down style restaurant. Although all of the local Pizza Huts closed last year - victims of the pandemic - their pizza was decent but bland. Regardless of what you bought, it also all tasted the same.
Tried Papa John's and Domino's exactly once each. Both were practically inedible.
For the cheap chains, Little Caesar's seems to be the best. The deep dish is not bad at all and their half calzone/half pizza thing they had recently was pretty good. If we are looking cheap and quick, it's Little Caesar's all the way.
But, in the Buffalo area, there are just too many good, local pizzerias for us to want to go the cheap route very often. Definitely getting expensive, but with only my wife and me left at home now, it's usually enough for two meals so the cost is not that bad.
