CHEESY DOMINO'S DOTS
What's in a name? Pizza, at least according to the savvy shills at Domino's.
Do you want $1,000 worth of gift certificates from Domino's? Might you give birth on Sunday, February 29? Would you consider naming your child Dorothy or Dot? If you answered "no" to all of the above, join the club. If by chance you answered "yes" to all three questions, then Tom Monaghan's successors have a deal for you.
Domino's has conceived a gimmick to hawk its leftover dough and cheese. These tiny, flavorless balls are called Cheesy Domino's Dots. If your child is one of the next added to the rare list of leap-year babies, and you're willing to let her grow up being a public-relations tool, give the nefarious folks at Domino's a call.
Domino's: "As for new Cheesy Domino's Dots, no vote is necessary to know that Domino's adds 360 degrees of cheesy, zesty, all-around fun to the traditional pizza meal with the introduction of its newest side dish. Named after the dots in the Domino's Pizza logo, Cheesy Domino's Dots are small, round balls of cheesy, zesty, delicious bread, covered with a blend of lots and lots of melted Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses and then sprinkled with Domino's delicious garlic and romano cheese seasoning. Cheesy Domino's Dots are served 12 per order, with a side of marinara sauce to round off the delectable taste."PHILLY CHEESE STEAK PIZZA
Before Domino's launched its Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, the company conducted an authenticity check with Frank Olivieri, Jr., owner and great nephew of the founder of the famous Pat's King of Steaks® in Philadelphia. According to Mr. Olivieri, "It's a thumbs up. If you can't get a Pat's steak sandwich, Domino's Philly Cheese Steak Pizza is the next best thing."
"The Olivieri family is an icon in the cheese steak business, and to receive their stamp of approval is a real honor," said Calwell. "Domino's is proud to have its Philly Cheese Steak Pizza recognized by the experts – Philadelphia residents – as a high-quality product inspired by the original."
Introduced in September 2003, Domino's Philly Cheese Steak Pizza, the first new pizza Domino's launched since January 2000, starts with a traditional pizza crust, golden brown and crisp on the outside, tender and delicious on the inside. It is then smothered with onions, peppers and mushrooms. Tender slices of marinated, premium steak come next, seasoned and cooked as if imported straight from South Philly. Finally, this superb pizza is topped with a layer of shredded provolone cheese to capture the authentic, mouth-watering taste of a Philly Cheese Steak in a great-tasting pizza.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec 15, 2004 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Do you see double when you write your name? Did you marry someone with the same last name as your first? Are you a Michael Michaels, Frank Franklin, Adam Adams or Carol Carroll? If so, Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, is looking for you. Domino's continues to celebrate its new Doublemelt Pizza by giving the pizza to people with double names.
"This is a fun way for Domino's to give a special treat to consumers with double names," explains Holly Ryan, Domino's Pizza spokesperson. "With double the crust and double the cheese, we're rewarding our double-named customers with double the fun."
Domino's Doublemelt Pizza was rolled out in September 2004. Domino's Doublemelt starts with a thin crust, covered in a creamy blended cheese sauce full of herbs and a hint of garlic. A second thin crust is added and topped with the basics -- tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and choice of toppings. To top it off, another blend of six cheeses is added.
CHEESEBURGER PIZZA Domino's used its March appearance on the highly-rated NBC series, "The Apprentice," and celebrity businessman Donald Trump to introduce the American Classic Cheeseburger pizza. The Domino's Pizza/Donald Trump commercials made enough of a splash that the company was honored to be featured in a parody spot on "Saturday Night Live" in April.
In September, the company "mooved" in a different direction and introduced Steak Fanatic Pizza, an indulgent product featuring two kinds of steak and two cheeses, together with roasted onions, which is available now through the end of the year.
The Steak Fanatic Pizza combines guys' ultimate food cravings -- steak and pizza -- into one delicious arrangement. The new Steak Fanatic Pizza is crafted with Domino's signature hand-stretched dough piled with Angus steak -- on top of more steak -- and smothered in American and provolone cheeses. To embolden the distinct steak flavor, the new Steak Fanatic Pizza is topped with a special sauce developed specifically to complement the hearty Angus steak topping. And of course, no authentic steak experience would be complete without a layer of fire-roasted onions and thick mushroom slices.
"Domino's is committed to our customers' satisfaction, and each new pizza introduced undergoes strict testing through our disciplined new product testing process to ensure its popularity among consumers," said Ken Calwell, Domino's Pizza, chief marketing officer. "The new Steak Fanatic Pizza is the product of consumer demand. This pizza is truly 'man-fuel' -- (although women like it too!) -- It's perfect for guys' night in, when cooking is out of the question but you're craving the flavor of steak."
Domino's is partnering with the Cattlemen's Beef Board and the Federation of State Beef Councils division of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association on this promotion, bringing together two tastes that Americans crave -- steak and delicious Domino's pizza. The U.S. beef industry's highly recognized Beef Checkoff logo will appear on many of the promotional materials associated with the roll-out.
Xtra Little Pizza, XLP
ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its new XLP product launch on April Fools' Day, Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, spoofed pizza lovers by introducing an "Xtra LITTLE pizza." In reality, Domino's is offering XLP- an "Xtra LARGE pizza" for an extra little price. Available nationwide, Domino's new XLP is 30 percent bigger than its current large pizza. For just $9.99, customers get a piping hot, one-topping pizza with eight extra large slices. And, for just $2 more (at participating stores in select markets), customers can pile on as many toppings as their stomachs' can handle. "Our customers don't need to read the fine print to know they're getting a great deal with our new XLP," said Ken Calwell, Domino's Pizza chief marketing officer. "The offer is simple and the value is evident. XLP delivers more pizza for your money." April Fools! The XLP concept was introduced Tuesday (March 28) with an early April Fools' Day gag on hundreds of pizza eating college students. Domino's visited the campus of Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti to distribute samples of the XLP. But, in this case, the acronym stood for "Xtra Little Pizza!" Comedic actors asked students to taste and comment on Domino's mini-pies that measured a mere three inches in width and were topped with extra tiny bits of pepperoni. The joke was on the students who actually believed that Domino's was coming out with an Xtra Little Pizza. Their reactions were mixed as they popped the tiny pizzas into their mouths. Some students loved the idea of the Xtra Little Pizza for its portability. "I think it is a really great idea," said John Lanphear, a student from Plymouth, Mich. "It would be great for parties because it is kind of awkward carrying around a slice of pizza when you are partying and dancing. Four or five bites is just enough to get you a little less hungry." Other students felt that the Xtra Little Pizza was just not enough to satisfy their extreme hunger. "It's too small," said Julia Nuoffer, a student at Eastern Michigan University. "I would have to eat like ten of them to fill me up." FUDGEMS! (August 17, 2005)Domino's Pizza Uses April Fools' Joke to Launch XLP
a new and irresistible chocolaty dessert to America's doorstep. Available nationwide beginning August 21, Domino's customers who order a large pizza at regular menu price will receive an order of Domino's new oven-baked Brownie Squares absolutely free.
A new twist on a classic dessert, Brownie Squares are Domino's first dessert menu item to not use traditional pizza dough among leading national pizza chains. According to Restaurants & Institutions magazine's 2005 Menu Census, brownies are one of the top five desserts appearing on most foodservice menus. Additionally, Domino's found in its own test market research that customers loved the idea of rounding out their pizza meal with warm Brownie Squares. Now Domino's is the first to deliver oven-baked brownies among all quick service restaurants.
Domino's new Brownie Squares come 10 to an order -- bite-sized brownies with warm chocolaty centers. All orders are delivered with a side of fudge dipping sauce. These bite-size treats are perfect for sharing at the end of a meal, or enjoying by oneself.
To support the new product launch, Domino's retained Fudgems to spearhead the effort. Fudgems, a three-foot-tall brownie character, will serve as the mascot and figure head for the national launch appearing in Domino's television and print advertising and the Internet to increase excitement -- and appetites -- for the new Brownie Squares.
