I would never do something like that. If I order a pizza either I order it from some place that I know that can do a decent pizza or I’ll thoroughly look at the reviews of all the places that can deliver it to me. Seriously...Dominos...

That's ok, you just open with "Hey Google, I want a pizza from Good Pizza House" instead. Anything you leave open is up to the assistant to try and interpret what might be a good choice.

For the average consumer who otherwise didn't specify, Dominos is a good choice: it's cheap, reliable, they understand the menu and deals, and it's consistent across time and place.

If that's the small pizza shop around the corner they'll probably not have a contract with Google.

Dominos is by no means the best pizza I have ever had, but they have gotten much better in recent years. For a fast pizza, it isn't bad
