A pizza driver was robbed at knifepoint last night (Saturday, January 28) as he was delivering pizzas in Hawker.

The 26-year-old Dominoes Pizza driver was dispatched about 11.50pm to deliver two pizzas to an address in Hawker. When he arrived at the address he realised that the street number provided did not exist.

The driver got out of his gold Ford Focus to try and locate the person/s who ordered the pizza. A short time later he was approached by two men, with one thrusting a knife towards his neck and the second person putting the knife towards his waist.

The men made off with two pizzas, a Dominoes “Hot Cell” Pizza Warmer and a small amount of cash.

The men are described as wearing black face masks, white “hoodies”, gloves and three quarter length shorts.

Anyone who may be able to assist police with the identity of these two men or who may have seen suspicious activity in the Hawker area about 11.50pm last night is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au. Information can be provided anonymously.

And Dominoes pizzas, at that. Shows a distinct lack of both brains and taste in pizza.

You haven’t been to Dominoes in a while have you? They have changed everything about their pizzas. The ingredients used now are so fresh and delicious and they are not stingy with them anymore. Everything’s fresh and delicious, I’d go as far as saying they are now one of the if not the best pizza chain out there.

Nice try, Domino’s Franchise Owner.

Unfortunately you aren’t missing anything. 17 years old are murdering people, for a mobile phone and $23..!? Horrifying.

Call me a cynic, but that reads far more like an advertising blurb than a genuine testimonial. Having said that, they really needed to change everything about their pizzas, so if they have done, and it’s for the better, then good luck to them.

And yes, sorry about the mis-spelling – it felt wrong when I wrote it but I foolishly took the media release at its word.

Disagree…still reckon Crust takes the cake….

Diagree…Making them yourself wins hands down and is quicker than waiting for them to be delivered too. Crust was good, but the quality seems to slipping in all the stores I have been too, so I went back to making them myself.

Firstly, it’s Domino’s (yes, even the press release gets it wrong.)

Secondly, they are better than they were but I think the best out there is a bit much, but I guess that depends on how big you have to get to be a chain. Some people will always want to badmouth any chain simply for that reason, though. Makes them feel superior I suppose.

Wait till Violet comes along, she will tell you it’s society’s fault, Dominoe’s fault for making money and the fault of the delivery man, but the people who did it are really innocent because of the above reasons.
