What they could really use is cartoon pizza. Like a poke-pizza (pepperoni and olives in the shape of a poke ball)

About a Dominos mascot... I dont think they are even going to bring back a mascot after what happened with their last one.

Many here might be too young to remember but they used to have a creepy man in a bunny suit called The Noid as their "mascot." It was more of an anti-mascot though because the Noid ruined all other pizzas except Dominos, hence the slogan "avoid the Noid."

Bizarrely a man named Kenneth Lamar Noid was so distressed by this mascot he entered a Dominos and held the employees hostage demanding a getaway car and a copy of a novel about Freemasons!

>On January 30, 1989, a man wielding a .357 magnum revolver stormed into a Domino’s in Atlanta, Georgia and took two employees hostage. For five hours, he engaged in a standoff with police, all the while ordering his hostages to make him pizzas. Before the police could negotiate with his demands ($100,000, a getaway car, and a copy of The Widow’s Son -- a novel about Freemasons), the two employees escaped. In the ensuing chaos, the captor fired two gunshots into the establishment’s ceiling, was forcefully apprehended, and received charges of kidnapping, aggravated assault, and theft by extortion.

>The assailant, a 22-year-old named Kenneth Lamar Noid, was apparently upset about the chain’s new mascot. A police officer on the scene later revealed that Noid had “an ongoing feud in his mind with the owner of Domino’s Pizza about the Noid commercials,” and thought the advertisements had specifically made fun of him. A headline the following morning in the Boca Raton News sparked a talk show frenzy: “Domino’s Hostages Couldn’t Avoid the Noid This Time.”

Nobody got hurt, so you are allowed to LOL:

"...engaged in a standoff with police, all the while ordering his hostages to make him pizzas."

Give a machine learning algorithm some flour, water, yeast, sugar and salt. See how long it takes to make "perfect" pizza based on customer feedback.
