Domino's 'One, Two, Free' Deal


So after an especially long week we decided to treat ourselves to a nice and easy take-away on Saturday night....this then lead to a debate over which take-away to have....but since as a family, we've never had a Domino's take out we decided to take the plunge and order one!

After plugging in our postcode online I was directed to a very simple and easily accessible site where a number of options were available for order. The best option I found was to click on the 'deals' tab, where a number of combinations and deals were available!

After a long, heated discussion we finally decided on the 'One, Two, Free' deal which is described as 'One large pizza with two free sides'....which cost us £12.

We quickly decided that the best option for the Pizza was the CYO (Choose Your Own) option....where you can choose up to nine free toppings for your pizza. We decided on:



  • Double Mozzarella Cheese
  • Single Chicken Breast Strips
  • Single Cumberland Sausage
  • Single Green and Red Peppers
  • Single Mushrooms
  • Single Pork Meatballs
  • Single Red Onions
  • Single Smoked Bacon Rashers
  • Single Sweetcorn

And our two free sides were the Cheese Twisted Dough Balls (6) and the Chicken Strippers (7).
Once we had picked all our toppings and sides, I was directed to enter our address and a time for delivery, so I picked for our meal to be delivered within 45 minutes and voila!....our meal was ordered!

One of the things I found incredibly useful about Domino's was the 'pizza tracker' that they had on the website, which meant that I could track at what stage our pizza was at!


"Your pizzas are in the oven"

"Making sure everything is perfect!"
"We'll see you soon"


This online 'tracking' process allowed me to see that our order had been placed, and then allowed me to follow the stages that our order was at! Whether it was in the 'prep' stage or the 'quality control' stage.....this online tracking is a fantastic system in place by Domino's!! 10/10!

Now onto the actual food!!

The food did arrive more or less on time...give or take five minutes....but is five minutes too important!?!?!?...Nahhhhh 

"DROOLS"

Before even opening the boxes, the smells emanating off them were mouthwatering!....and driving us all crazy with hunger!

I'll start with the Cheese Twisted Dough Balls (6) :

Described as; '6 fresh dough pizza rolls brushed with garlic oil, filled with 100% mozzarella and cheese and herb sauce'

"Twisted Dough Balls -Cheese"

Opening the box, I have to admit I was disappointed at the appearance of my dough balls!...As you can all see in the image above, the cheese and garlic filling had leaked out of all the 6 balls, and in the top left corner, one looks to be burnt!.....However, thankfully taste wise these twisted dough balls were awesome!! They were very garlic-y....possibly too garlic-y for my taste....however my brother was enamoured with them and couldn't stop pinching everyone else's! 

Chicken Strippers (7) :

Described as; '7 Chicken breast goujons, coated in crispy breadcrumbs and served with dip (BBQ)'

"Crispy Chicken Strippers"

Sadly, I feel I was yet again disappointed with these 'chicken strippers'! The image of them on the website shows them with a lovely crispy coating containing some nice juicy chicken....which definitely tempted us to have this as one of our sides! However, when we opened the box the chicken strippers barely resembled those on the website! The taste of these goujons were pretty average I'm sad to say! I have better chicken goujons in the freezer.....to be honest these goujons tasted undercooked to me! Which is probably why they aren't that extra bit crispy as described on the website!

Finally, onto the pizza!:

"Create Your Own Pizza -9 personal toppings included for free!"

If that pizza doesn't get your taste buds tingling then I don't know what will!
After all our toppings, this pizza was certainly fully loaded with flavour!......and I would be lying if I told you that we didn't all moan at our first bite!
This pizza was absolute heaven! The toppings all complimented each other perfectly, and I would definitely recommend getting double mozzarella instead of just the single!
However, the best part of this pizza for me was the base!....The base and crust of the pizza had that nice crunchy crust and texture that you would expect of a pizza, but inside it was incredibly light and fluffy which made for an amazing pizza experience!!

In conclusion, I would definitely recommend this deal to everyone! A single large pizza by itself costs £16.99 alone at Domino's....whereas this deal includes two additional sides and only cost us £12! ....if that is not a bargain then I don't know what is! However, I would be looking at choosing different sides next time in hopes for something better!
For my first Domino's experience, I was definitely pleasantly surprised by the pizza, but dissapointed at the state of the sides!....The amount of options on the menu however means that if I decide to have another Dominos then there are many more options to choose from!


Would I buy these again? The Pizza: YES
                                            2 Free Sides: VERY UNLIKELY
