Photo Break: Domino's Delivery in Legos

Ford Focus 2011 - Dominos Pizza Delivery

This is kind of cute. Peter Blackert (aka Lego911 on Flickr) apparently specializes in building vehicles from Legos. Here's his vision for a Ford Focus kitted out as a Domino's delivery car.

Pizza Delivery and the Economics of Reputation

If you're new to the obsessive world of pizza enthusiasts, you'd be excused for not knowing this, but boxing a WFO pizza seriously compromises its quality. It's accepted as fact that a Neapolitan pizza is at its best in a very small slice of time between the oven and your mouth. Even allowing it to sit on a plate too long, purists say, affects quality. The crust quickly loses whatever crispness it may have had and can even start to turn chewier than desired.

Quote of the Day: 'Time Remaining...'

"Pizza tracker? F*** yeah, the pizza tracker. If you don't know what the pizza tracker is, then get your ass online right now and order a pizza from Domino's. It's the equivalent of a loading bar on a web browser, except at the end of the loading you get a delicious pizza." —Mark H., on UHpinions.com

[And if you think that quote is good, the story it comes from is even better. If it's to be believed, the Domino's deliveryman saved Mark H.'s life. Via @mathowie]

What Domino's Thinks About Pizza Box Drawings

"To be honest, we find this quite hilarious — and love seeing some of our stores going the extra mile to make their customers smile. With that said, we do have to remember we're Domino's, the delivery experts, and not Pixar ... so our first priority has to be, as soon as they come out of the oven, getting pizzas quickly out of our doors and then safely to yours." —Domino's spokesman Chris Brandon

Daily Pizza Pizza Habit Saves Elderly Woman's Life

You all saw this yesterday, right? Eighty-two-year-old Jean Wilson's daily pizza habit helped save her life. When Domino's delivery driver Susan Guy learned that the Memphis woman hadn't phoned in her usual order (one large pepperoni pizza — Wilson has been ordering that every day for three years now), Guy suspected something was up and told her boss she needed to go check on WIlson, stat.

Awesome Delivery from Domino's

This is great. Fukung.net posted this cute bit in which the customer ordered Domino's online and in the "special instructions" form asked them to draw a unicorn fighting a giraffe inside the pizza box. The response, after the jump.

How Pizza Delivery Was Done in Naples

Naples pizzaiolo Antonio Starita with *the original* pizza box. [Photographs: Adam Kuban] Antonio Starita (above) represents the third generation of pizzaioli at Pizzeria Starita a Materdei, a Naples institution. (It was the pizzeria in the Sofia Loren flim L'Oro di Napoli.) Starita mentored Kesté's Roberto Caporuscio in the ways of pizza and was in New York City over the weekend guest-teaching classes at Caporuscio's pizza school. On Friday night, Starita was behind the counter making pizzas for lucky Kesté customers who showed up between 5 and 7 p.m. Slice stopped by to watch the man in action. OK, enough...

Isn't Every Night Pizza Night?

[Photograph: Robyn Lee] The New York Post recently reported that Thursday night is the post popular time to order pizza from Delivery.com. Sunday is a bigger delivery day overall, but for some reason, pizza is the order of choice on Thursdays. The most popular topping? Pepperoni. Does this jibe with what goes on in your home? Or is every night pizza night as far as you're concerned?...
