The New Domino's Arrives
Bruce Horowitz writes in USA Today that
Domino's Pizza is changing its pizza recipe. It will be a completely
new pizza with a different crust, cheese, and sauce.
Some observers say that the company is taking a big risk with such a
total overhaul of its main product. However, in a 2009 consumer survey,
Domino's tied for last place for taste. Domino's was voted the best for
convenience and price.
This change is not something that Domino's took lightly. They spent two
years testing many different recipes before settling on the new
Domino's Pizza.
The company will have an advertising campaign to launch the change that
should have spread to all its restaurants by December 27, 2009. After
that, look for the company to put out new ads proudly telling the
public about the change. The author says that Super Bowl Sunday is the
biggest day for pizza sales and that Domino's “may buy an ad
in the big game.”
Everyone has his or her own preferences when it comes to food. It will
be interesting to see how well the new Domino's Pizza is received by
those who consider pizza to be an important part of their diets.
