Domino's Unleashes the 444 Deal

Take that Pizza Hut! Domino's just unleashed the 444 Deal; 3 medium, 1-topping pizzas for $4 each. That's $12 for 3 pizzas. You may remember the days when it cost $15 for 3 pizzas, but those days, my friends, are over. You may also have thought that food prices were on the rise. Well, clearly that is not the case. And who says this nation is entering a recession? Pizza will save us!

But seriously, when I first heard about this, 2 things went through my head: 1) Anybody want some pizza? 2) HA! Take that Pizza Hut! You thought you could compete in the "cheap-ass pizza" market with that sorry "Pizza Mia" deal, a clear knock off of the 555 Deal of old? Well now you're boned. Ever heard of game theory? Well, you made the wrong move. Sure, you may have been losing some money when you were selling pizzas for $10 and Domino's was selling them for $5, so you moved. Now, you're STILL losing money, but now people won't even buy your pizzas for $5 because Domino's sells them for $4. So you either lower your prices too, and cut some loses, or you just eat it. You would have been better off holding your price at $10, because then you'd still be selling pizzas, making decent money on them to boot, and Domino's wouldn't have gone any lower.

Anyways, fuck Pizza Hut anyways, I know what I'll be eating this weekend.

Oh no, the Domino's deal is not that great. The catch is that the pizzas are only 10 inches, smaller than the normal Domino's medium. Do not be suckered by the deal, it sucks. I can eat all three pizzas without breaking a sweat.

does this remind anyone else of the something about mary sketch.

Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
Ted Stroehmann: You guarantee it? That's -- how do you do that?
Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".

FYI - As far as pizza for your money... the 555 deal is still better. The best deal is 555 deal, then the 777 deal, and the worst deal by far is the 444 deal. Check the math here: http://matthewsbloghome.blogspot.com/
