Despite how much we hate it, that commercial for the Domino’s Gotham City Pizza must work because we wound up buying one. Was it worth it?
This commercial makes little sense. Why would the Joker have his thugs attack the car that’s delivering the pizza which is going to his hideout anyway? Also, why would the Joker order a pizza to his hideout under his criminal name? Furthermore, that girl is giving way too much sass. The Joker we all know and love, would have her cut up and fed to her pooches. Overall, this commercial sucks something fierce.
Instead of having it delivered we went to the local Dominos and picked it up there so we missed out on seeing if it would arrive in busted up car. The location we went to was filled with promotional material for the pizza including posters in the window and displays on the counter. Domino’s is really pushing these things. You can either buy the Gotham City Pizza for $9.99 or a special combo for $19.99 which includes the pizza, ten hot wings, and bread. If you do the math, this combo is only saving you $1.00 in the long run. That is a huge deal.
The box claims this pizza to be both “cloaked in pepperoni” and “deliciously mysterious”. One of these is true. The pizza is indeed slathered with pepperoni, to the point where Alex had heartburn afterwards. Which is hardcore, because Alex has eaten a pound of bacon without getting heartburn before. As far as being “deliciously mysterious” that is a bold faced lie. While it may be a little better because of the influx of pepperoni, it’s not better to the point where it is “mysterious”.
Would we recommend this pizza to anyone? If you have a death wish, hate the sight of cheese, or want to bring the box with you when you see The Dark Knight then buy it. Otherwise, don’t waste your time and money.
