Order pizza online and name it yourself
The big three pizza places — Dominos, Pizza Hut and Papa John’s — have moved into web- and mobile-web ordering.
But Domino’s is doing something new on its Web site. Under a promotion called the BFD Builder, a customer can order a pie using a list of ingredients on the left-hand side of the page.
Simple enough for a $10.99 flat rate.
Then you can name the pizza. The site will then archive it and put a photo of it next to its freshly-baked moniker and the ingredients you chose.
So far, the most popular is the Ciao Bella, with hand-tossed crust, black olives, cheese, green peppers, ham, Italian sausage and provolone. It has 83,684 orders posted.
There’s something like 12,000 pizzas listed. The names can get pretty creative (does that mean that pizza makes you smart?) There’s the Time for Lent Pizza, with no meat of course, and the Simply Piggy with Cheese, with bacon AND ham.
Mine would have to be the Keeping the Peace pizza — cheese, onions, Italian sausage and provolone across a thin-crust pie. But then I’d add mushrooms on one half for me and ham on the other half for my wife, Gretchen, who hates the sight of the squishy fungal topping.
Even that might backfire. It might turn out to be the Eat Your Half Someplace Else pizza!
