  • That pre-order several days in advance could be really handy for party planning. Instead of waiting until the last minute and slamming the pizza place with an order for 20 pizzas, you could put the order in days ahead and they pizza place would be better prepared. You never know, they might actually get your order right.

  • I'm not going all the way to Advance to order a pizza.

  • This one is for you Red Devil using the best, impersonation of Nelson from the Simpsons that I can muster at 8:15 in the morning.

    "Hah-Ha!"

    Kind of loses it's punch without the audio inflection.

    Thanks for reading.

  • I have used this service. If you are hosting a gathering, party or luncheon, ordering in advance is the way to go. Personal use, I'd be afraid I'd forget.

  • Me'Lange,

    Domino's does have online ordering. I used it the other week and it worked great. They also have a coupon section on their website that has some great deals. I got a large 1-topping pizza and one of their new pasta bread bowls for $13.99 + tax and a free order of cinnastix. Just google domino's coupons for more great deals out there. I always check out www.slickdeals.net before doing anything online. Saved tons of money over the years. I think I've been using that site since about 2001.

  • Isn't it "Does it work Wednesday?"

  • Observant1, I stand corrected. Shows you how much I watch KFVS.

    Yes, it is "Does it Work Wednesday" rather than "Will it Work Wednesday." However, Googling the phrase changes nothing. It's still not unique -- like "Tech Testing Tuesdays."

    Actually the phrase DIWW pulls up almost 6000 Google results while WIWW has under 700.

    Thanks for reading and pointing out the error.

  • Actually, Megalo I don't know for sure if the answer is yes. I only ordered a pizza 2.5 days in advance, not 21. They could have all kinds of dastardly problems occur in a 3 week period. Computers could crash for one. Or some insidious hacker could change your Meat Lovers Pizza to tofu and sprouts.

    Thanks for reading.

  • The Hut?

    Maybe their new spokesman is Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs.

    And "Jabba The Hut" was the first thing that entered my mind as well....

  • Domino's just won an award for their online ordering for being the most innovative or something.

    and you can watch your order in real time, even if you order by phone, just go to their site and punch in your number.

    I don't know if you can order 21 days in advance online, but I have, for functions, order a month in advance for large orders by phone.

  • I'm a delivery driver at Papa John's, and I'm quite pleased to see a happy customer. We do try our best ^^.

    P.S. You can order deliveries online in advance too ;)
