I was off on saying 4-5 times the price though, will agree there though from what I can see it is still coming out to nearly 2.5 times the price.

It was not 4-5, just 5. Not sure of your definition of "nearly", I would certainly not describe the prices I saw as "nearly 2.5 times the price".

Not sure why you are still insisting playing this stupid game of comparing the discounted pizza with non discounted ones here. It could just as easily be done the other way around, pick the best looking Irish offer and price it with no discounts applied in canada.

If you want to keep fooling yourself grand, just please don't go on trying to bullshit the rest of us. You are not down the pub 20 years ago with no phones, spoofing people, they can look it up themselves www.dominos.ca

Not sure what the deal with your need to be so emotive about this is. I've clearly shown you the price for the different pizzas, and they were extremely close to the ones there previously that I had mentioned.

You're right, we're not down the pub 20 years ago. The internet also has screenshots - I've clearly shown you the screenshot to show your €8 discounted pizza simply doesn't exist on my end (take note how I'm not going out of my way to accuse you of lying about it, being a bullsh*tter, fooling yourself and so on and so on). If Dominos offered me a €8 discounted deal well that would be nice, but they don't now do they? So yes €10 is nearly 2.5 times the price that €4.10 is and that €10 is the very lowest price I can get a pizza with any toppings out of Dominos Ireland. And that's not including the can of coke that the €4.10 pizza comes with. To save people the hassle of looking it up I've attached a screenshot. Like I said it was $5 for the pizza with two toppings and no drink when I was there for a solid two years, which this is extremely similar to - feel free to hurl insults about that all you wish.

The thread by the way is clearly about the cost of a pizza, the OP clearly mentions the cost of a low cost pizza. The big meal deal types have nothing to do with the cost of a low cost pizza. We're not talking about €30 meal deals that you'd need a group of people to get through here. We're talking about getting a low cost pizza.

I do not think you are lying, bull****ting does not necessarily mean lying.

Bull**** (also bullcrap) is a common English expletive which may be shortened to the euphemism bull or the initialism BS. In British English, "bollocks" is a comparable expletive. It is mostly a slang profanity term meaning "nonsense", especially as a rebuke in response to communication or actions viewed as deceptive, misleading, disingenuous, unfair or false.

If you explicity state what happened that is grand -that you have selected a particular dominios irish store which happens to have no offers on small pizzas, and have found a particular canadian one with offers, then I do not think it would be of surprise to most people. The dogs on the street know the normal menu price is ludicrously high so that their bogus/exagerrated offers appear far better -and so they know it is very stupid, deceptive, misleading, disingenuous & unfair to compare them like that.

This random store shows no offer on small pizzas

Store #10503
464 BANK ST 1A
OTTAWA, ON K2P1Z3

So if I want to play your stupid game I could select the small one there and add 9 toppings

Food & Beverage: $19.74
Taxes: $2.57
Order Total: $22.31

So €15 in canada and €8 here :rolleyes:

Your original comment

In Australia or Canada you can get a 9" pizza from Dominos with 2-3 toppings for $5 (so about €3.50). Over here it's what... five times that? The reason is that in Canada and Australia it has a reputation for being cheap junk food like McDonalds, Burger King, etc. Over here some people seem to deem it as fecking gourmet cuisine for some reason.

I think most reading that would think it meant any size pizza from dominos, there was no mention of a peculiarity about small ones, or does this repuation of being cheap junk disappear at a certain diameter?! And my (and your) examples showed you can find places with no offers on small ones. I am not talking about huge meal deals either.

Of which there are plenty available. The premise of the thread has long since been debunked

I picked my local Dominos here and my local one there, not sure what your paranoia that I went searching for particular stores is about, you should calm yourself down a bit. You already replied to my post that explicitly states I "guess it must vary from one place to the next" by the way.

To compare your local one here to mine in Toronto though, an pizza (with additional toppings) does still come to basically double what the equivalent does there (with less toppings but a drink included) at €8 vs €4.10.

I do agree there, there are definitely some spots in town where you can get pizza at a fairly cheap price, was specifically referring to the likes of Dominos in my initial post on it.

theres one place on talbot st you get a hand made 9" cheese pizza cooked in his own oven, a can of coke and chips for €5

Star Pizza. The deal was mentioned twice on the first page.

Late night pizza by the slice has arrived!

From The Irish Times in article about new store Dollard & Co opening on Wellington Quay tomorrow

"Perhaps the quirkiest feature on the floor is a late-night pizza hatch, opening on to the entrance foyer on Wellington Quay. This will remain open until the wee hours – 4.30am is mentioned – selling a choice of four or five pizzas by the slice to hungry revellers"

This is hardly new. There's been various places around Dublin doing this on and off for years.

DiFontaines is only around the corner and has been there for nearly 10 years since they moved.

Can't remember exactly as I wasn't paying but it was somewhere in the region of €2- €3 for a slice that was pretty crappy if you ask me.
