In Los Angeles, California the Domino's Pizza is a take out service only or delivery to your place of business and/or residence.
All of the establishments I have encountered have a locked door with a small window for the customer to place their order for a pizza pie, soft drinks and bread sticks.
The signs always show they are hiring drivers. A driver uses their own vehicle with a sign on the window or on top of the roof. Only those who carry automobile insurance can make deliveries.
Many people still do not know the rules of tipping and a dollar or two, depending on the total of your order is suggested for the driver.
You will find coupons in the Sunday Newspaper supplements as well as in the mail with other advertisements. Always mention you are utilizing a coupon when calling in your order.
The system here can detect the phone number and identify the name and address of the caller for more expedient service.
I grew up in New Jersey and every Friday evening was pizza and cake night. There was a bakery next to the Domino's Pizza which became a routine for many years. In fact, my folks still enjoy their pizza on a weekly basis.
You can mix and match your pies with one or more toppings and have half one garnish and another or just plain. My favorite has been a medium with onions and sausage. Many times I get a special where you can get two mediums for about $13.99.
Depending on your location you may be able to use a credit card over the phone and/or online and the driver will bring the machine to make an imprint of your card.
There are some parts of large metropolitan cities where the independent Domino's Pizza may decide it is not safe to make deliveries. I think in the past few years it is much safer for a delivery person to do their job.
The hours vary but most open about 11 am and stay open till midnight or 2 am. There are options on what type of crust you want with sizes generally being medium and large. The taste is pleasing and not overly salty. Whatever meat I choose, sometimes Canadian Bacon or Pepperoni, they are cooked to perfection.
There will be times that the delivery will take longer than customary, that being during football season on a Sunday or the SuperBowl.
Domino's Pizza is as American as Apple Pie!
