Did you ever Avoid the NOID?  Like most teenagers, I was a huge fan of pizza (confession: I still am.).  I remember being treated to Domino’s every other Friday and vividly remember that pizza stealing NOID who was born 25 years ago (has it been that long?).

To celebrate his birthday, Domino’s is encouraging you to STOP avoiding that NOID and play the “Super Pizza Shootout” on their Facebook page for a chance to win one of 10,080 $10 gift cards!  Simply “like” Domino’s on Facebook and intensely play the massively social arcade game.  Every minute until August 15th at 10am, the NOID will give away one $10 Domino’s gift card to the highest score in each round pitting their Facebook Fans against one another (hey, the NOID isn’t all good, right?).  Good Luck!

GIVEAWAY

The NOID has given me one $20 Domino’s Gift Card for one lucky reader!

CONGRATS!

When you think of the Domino’s brand, invariably the word “pizza” comes to mind, right?  As a child, I always loved Domino’s Pizza night in our house and I have carried over the tradition to my home.  My daughters are huge fan of the newly reinvented pizza and the delicious breadsticks.  But if you have a craving for sweet, spicy and tangy chicken wings and boneless chicken, do you pick up the phone and dial Domino’s?  For me, I didn’t even realize that chicken was on the menu, so I was thrilled to give it a try.

When reinventing Domino’s chicken (did you know it was on the menu since 2002?), the test kitchen chefs listened to customer feedback and worked hard to create a delicious product.  From the press release:

“The new, tastier chicken wings are available in hot, BBQ and new Sweet Mango Habanero – while the new boneless chicken gives customers more choice on how to customize to their specific tastes. In addition to the new boneless chicken, made with 100 percent whole white breast meat lightly breaded with savory herbs, a selection of dipping sauces will provide multiple options. These are sure to please those who either want to spice things up with Sweet Mango Habanero or Kickers Hot sauces, or go with more traditional dipping options like BBQ sauce or Ranch.”

Reading the descriptions made our mouths water, so my family was so excited when two orders of wings (BBQ and Plain) and one order of boneless chicken arrived at our doorstep along with a plethora of dipping sauces.  We immediately dived in because they smelled delicious.  The chicken was wrapped in foil to lock in the heat which worked perfectly because the chicken arrived hot (no reheating necessary).  My daughters (ages 3 and 6), who are World’s biggest fans of chicken nuggets, picked the boneless chicken with BBQ sauce.  Before I could blink, they were asking for more! The breading was very good (not too soft, not too crispy) and the BBQ sauce was spiced perfectly for my taste.

My husband is the chicken wing connoisseur in the house, so he was the first to try the BBQ wings.  He described them as “well sauced with good flavor!”  I was brave and tasted the extra spicy “Sweet Mango and Habanero Sauce.”  I actually really liked , but wasn’t able to use much of it!

The new wings and boneless chicken from Domino’s makes us rethink the entire brand.  We will now grab for the Domino’s menu for more things than just pizza!  What a great idea for a fuss-free March Madness party!  We would definitely order chicken wings and boneless chicken from Domino’s again.

When we get home from work and realize that we forgot to plan dinner, we often reach for the phone and dial up Dominos.  Try as I might, it is hard to distract my two little ones from their hungry tummies.  This often leads to me wondering how long it’s been since I made the order and frantic pacing by the front door.  Now, Dominos has come up with a great (and fun!) way to track the status of your pizza online!  From the press release:

“Domino’s Pizza, Inc. (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, has given its revolutionary Pizza Tracker™ tool an auditory upgrade! Beginning today, customers who order online from Domino’s will not only see – but hear their order being made, thanks to the introduction of Talking Tracker.

After an order is placed, either by phone or online at www.dominos.com, customers who utilize Pizza TrackerTM will now be able to choose from six themes – each one giving the interface a distinct look and voice. Depending on the theme, Talking Tracker might sing, cheer or even sweet talk customers the status of their order from the moment it’s prepared to the second it’s out the door or ready for pickup.

Talking Tracker is also compatible with Surf With Tracker, brand new feature that allows consumers to browse the web without losing track of their order.

“We’re continuing to add to the convenience of Domino’s online ordering and Pizza TrackerTM, now allowing customers to leave their computers and still know where their pizza is in the ordering process – as long as their speakers are turned up!” said Chris Brandon, Domino’s Pizza spokesperson. “Adding these elements is our way of making sure we are creating the most innovative ordering experience possible.”

When you pick up the phone to order your favorite Domino’s pizza, about 30 minutes later you expect to hear a car pull up in your driveway and a knock at your front door, right?  Did you ever expect to hear a helicopter hover over your home?  Or how about your pizza being delivered by a skydiver?

Domino’s is pushing the envelope to connect with consumers by holding a contest to decide on the most “extreme” delivery option.  Now through August 30th, Facebook users who visit Domino’s Facebook Page or visit the poll directly can vote on one of the following extreme delivery options:

- The first weightless pizza delivery in a zero gravity airplane

- A high-wire delivery by daredevil Jade Kindar-Martin

- Dan “SpiderDan” Goodwin climbing the Campanile Tower at The Venetian® Resort-Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas

- Hitting terminal velocity with a skydiving delivery

- Plunging to earth with BASE jumpers at Bridge Day 2010

While you’re voting, you can also enter to win a $1,000 Domino’s Pizza gift card (that’s some serious pizza!).  Make sure you get your vote in soon because Domino’s actually plans on executing the winning choice!

I would love to say that I am an amazing cook and that when asked, my daughters would exclaim that their favorite dinner is one that I lovingly made in my kitchen.  But to be honest, if you ask my girls to tell you their favorite meal, I would bet my life that the answer would be PIZZA (with chicken nuggets coming in a close second!)!  So you can guess that we have tried just about every pizza joint within a reasonable distance from my home, including frequent visits to our local Domino’s.  Have you tried the New & Improved Domino’s pizza recipe?

If you’ve tried it but know some friends who haven’t, you should definitely check out the Taste Bud Bounty Hunter game in order to capture the pizza “holdouts” and win FREE PIZZA for an entire YEAR!  Here’s how it works (from the press release):

“Domino’s is placing a “bounty” on taste buds that have yet to try its Inspired New Pizza – the payment being free food, of course! Domino’s Taste Bud Bounty, which recently launched online at PizzaHoldouts.com, encourages customers to turn in their pizza holdout friends in exchange for delicious rewards.

The Taste Bud Bounty Hunter who successfully convinces the most pizza holdouts to try out the new recipe will win FREE pizza for a year in the form of $20 gift cards – 52, to be exact.  Both the hunters and the hunted will receive incentives via e-mail for participating in the Taste Bud Bounty, which utilizes Facebook to further engage consumers.  Participants can easily upload their profile photo from Facebook onto the Domino’s Most Wanted Taste Bud Wall or the Top Bounty Hunter Wall. They can then have their progress updated, and be followed by friends.

To start the search, consumers can go to PizzaHoldouts.com. Domino’s will reward each Bounty Hunter’s first submission with a coupon for a FREE order of Chocolate Lava Crunch Cakes with an online delivery order of $10 or more. Each submitted pizza holdout will receive a coupon to buy one pizza and get a second pizza of equal or lesser value FREE (minimum delivery amount applies, only valid online).

Hunters who successfully “capture”  10 friends – convincing them to order Domino’s new pizza – will receive a coupon for one FREE large 1-topping pizza (with online order only, tax and delivery charge may apply). Customers are encouraged to capture as many pizza holdouts as possible before the contest ends June 27.”

Uhhh…..excuse me….did someone say Chocolate Lava Crunch Cakes?  Where do I sign up?  I have to go start my list of people to “hunt!”
