Pizza Question?

Question

Is it true that when you order pizza, and they dont deliver it to your house with in 30 minutes

is it free or not.

Answer 1

Not for all Pizza places.  I think most actually dont do that anymore.  It depends on the store; it depends on the location.

Answer 2

yes its true

Answer 3

This strictly deals with you and the chain!  Some will tell you it will be 45 minutes before they can get your Pizza to you, others different numbers!  Unless the order is very late or cold don't complain, you could have picked it up yourself!  Most chains have a 1-800 number for complaints and they will help set things right!!

Answer 4

NO. Not anymore, as far Southern California goes that I know of. They stopped doing that years ago because of car accidents. People were getting killed because pizza drivers were speeding to try and make the 30 minute mark.

Answer 5

no way they r wrong

Answer 6

sometimes depends on the pizza place and where you live..ask the pizza places if they do or not..

Answer 7

thats an old Dominoes sales ptch and they were true to their words untill well I don't think they still honor that.

Answer 8

It depends on the company, last I heard.  I think Domino's still does that 30-minute-or-it's-free thing.  But I dunno...

Answer 9

That used to be a policy with different companies, but I have not heard anybody or are aware of any company that does that anymore. maybe some small local places.

Answer 10

1993 was the last time Domino's offered the 30 minute guaruntee. Domino's was also the only franchise/corporation that ever offered the 30 minute guaruntee.

They went so far as to saturate delivery areas with 2 or 3 extra stores to make sure they could meet that 30 minute deadline.

In 1993, however, a St. Louis woman was involved in an auto accident with a Domino's delivery person and sued the company on the grourns that the 30 minute pledge led to accidents.

Domino's settled for a lot of money, though no one knows exactly how much, rumors say the amount was in the seven figure area.

Many of the Domino's franchises I have worked in over the years however, kept to the 30 minute idea somewhat. They'd quote you a time, anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour depending on how busy they were, and then if you didn't get the pizza in said quoted time, they'd still give you a $3 off your next order.

Domino's is trying to bring back the idea of the 30 minute delivered pizza without the guaruntee though.

The chain is desperate, I think. They are quickly loosing market share. In the 1980s, they had well over 5000 stores. Today, they are pushing people to get into franchises and have lost the number two spot in the market to Papa John's (Pizza Hut has always been number one mainly because ontop of delivery they offer dine-in so their numbers tend to be bigger, & for a long time Papa John's was always number three)

In fact, Domino's 2007 third quarter earnings actually dropped by 55%!

Answer 11

No, it is not.

I worked for a place back in the early 80s that had a "30 minutes or it is free" policy. It was on a college campus (Texas A&M University) and the students tried all kinds of tricks to get their free pizzas, from having one room order a pizza, and the one two doors down order one, and then two doors down order one, hoping the same driver would wait to deliver all three, and one or two might be free. Didn't work. It wasn't that hard to route drivers. Second, they'd call and change their order five or six minutes after they originally ordered. That stopped very quickly when I said, "Okay, but your 30 minute clock re-starts now."

Dominos adopted our policy to compete, and it spread chain wide. They later changed it to 30 minutes or you get three dollars off. They dropped that, too.

Answer 12

Only if a specific pizza place has that offer. Almost none do.

Answer 13

Not true, nowadays.  It also depends on whom you're ordering from & their policies.
