The international American pizza franchise Domino's Pizza is the comeback kid of pizza franchises in Singapore. First established in Singapore in 1992 with 5 outlets, Domino's Pizza saw their business dip over the years, and eventually ceased operations in 2000. They returned in 2010, and have since expanded significantly, offering their famed 30-minute pizza delivery guarantee islandwide.

Ambience when dining in at a Domino's Pizza outlet is passable at best. Furniture is fast food style, functional and sterile, lit by harsh flourescent lights, and not very comfortable. Seats are also limited. No surprise, as Domino's Pizza specialises in takeaway and delivery.

Service at Domino's Pizza fluctuates widely. On good days, or non peak periods, they live up to their promise of 15 minutes for takeaway, and 30 minutes for delivery, including preparation and transportation. On bad days, or peak periods, the wait can stretch up to 1 hour or more. I've experienced both... the quickest delivery was 25 minutes, the longest delivery was over 2 hours!

Food at Domino's Pizza is primarily their speciality pizzas. Specifically, the American style pizza crust, of which there are 2 versions. The New York Crust is known for its wide, floppy, yet tough shape, is traditionally hand-tossed, light on sauce, and eaten by folding. The Chicago Crust, also known as Deep Dish Crust, is known for its tall, thick, dense shape, is traditionally baked for a longer time, though the term may also refer to either a stuffed crust with cheese, or a crisp, thin crust.

While I don't normally associate the word "Pizza" with Domino's Pizza immediately, I have to admit that the quality of their pizza ingredients is on par, or even better, than several of their competitors. Pricing is almost similar as well, with 2 regular size pizzas costing SGD $22, and 2 large size pizzas costing SGD $33. I like that Domino's Pizza has no GST or delivery fee, all prices quoted are nett prices.





A typical Domino's Pizza Meal can feed between 2 - 10 people, with more people that dine making it better value for money.
