The important things in life.....

Domino's advertise 'Free Delivery' on the side of their vans as well as in store.  However, to have a specific pizza delivered costs £12, but if you go into the store, the exact same pizza is £8.50.  So how can they say they are offering free delivery?

Also, last week when in the store I placed my order and the girl behind the counter said...'Oh, there is a buy one, get one free offer on that pizza'.  I know this pizza is £8.50, so I asked her how much it was again, to which she replied £12.50.  So I questioned her on it....if you go for the 'Buy one get one free offer' it costs £12.50, if you don't want the offer, it is only £8.50.

So how can they be giving one for free if they are charging an extra £4?  Does anyone know if this is in anyway breaking any sort of trading standards?  I'm sure they have themselves covered, but it seems dodgy to me.

Rule Number 1 iin  Domino's never ever pay full price . there is alway some kind of a deal or voucher  to be had and they have  the most restictive offers ever and the thickest staff , as in if you dont want a ''FREE'' mineral your not getting the special so they'll try and charge you full  indiviual price .
they drive me nuts , got fed up of their Pizzas too

The reason for the Pizza being £8.50 is because its a carry out offer.  The reason Domino's do Carry out offers is because they are re known as delivery specialists. 

You will read on the menu that you cannot use an offer in conjunction with any other offer.  I would say its pretty simple and you are being pretty thick...

No, it isn't a carry out offer, it is standard menu price.  Also, how do you explain the 'buy one get one free' offer?  Yet it costs £4 extra if you go for it?

And I would say anyone who resorts to an attempt at a personal insult for no reason, from the safety of their keyboard, is a moron...but you would never catch me doing that...

Avoid Pizza Hut, Domino's etc at all costs.  Way better pizzas to be found through independents.

Firstly was not a personal insult it is a fact.  Secondly - check the menu again and you will not see the pizza you normally go for at £8.50.  Also when you are in the shop have a look...generally in the window you will see Carryout offers Any Small Pizza £6.95, Any Medium Pizza £8.95 or Any Large Pizza £9.95 etc.

Why would you go sit in the car?

I don't think it's only Pizza Express that has thick staff in Belfast.
