Phone is still the best way to order pizza

When I was in college I could call my local Dominos, ask for a large pizza and a two liter of soda and at the end say "if I pick it up will you double it?" They never said no. A local pizza shop always offered the same deal so Dominos had no choice. Good luck doing that in an app.

Is this in the 80s or, like, 2019? I've never heard of this "will you double it" thing before. Is it just because the other local shop did it, or would you expect this to work at any Dominos?

This was in the late 2000s. I don't think it would work at any other Dominos. It was just to match the other local shop.

The connection I was trying to make is I didn't have to cut a coupon, that is pretty much the best possible pizza deal and it was always available.

Domino's here has a straight 50% off for students. Lots of late pizza delivery study sessions were had.
