The Florey Pizza War

We went to Encore tonight, and I have to say that it was disappointing. The ribs were great (but expensive for what you got), the lasagne so-so and the pizzas bland. We won’t be going back.

Dominos pizzas are crap. Encore wouldn’t have particularly good to run rings around it. Good luck to them.

Why is this “counterintuitive”? Dick Smith said he was surprised when his stores were not targeted for similar marketing back in the 80’s. and it’s old Jewish wisdom to open a tailor next to the busiest tailor in town.

Is that why I only see Thai and Laotian tailors around these days?

Below is a link to a shop-a-docket for Encore Pizza for $4.95 pizzaspick-up. Only when I rocked up to Mawson with my coupon – after ordering three pizzas online – they said it was a misprint and you can only get one pizza at $4.95. The others are at full price.

Okay so I pointed out that it says “pizzas” and it has nothing else on it to say “one per customer” also that there was nothing on the website or in the shop to correct the mistake, but they cared not to please the customer.

So I thought I’d put my complaint here on Riotact and see what you all think? I know it isn’t earth shattering, but I was pretty pissed, and I kind of wonder if a guy was doing the arguing would they change their tune?

It’s a shame they won’t see my service anymore as the pizzas were okay.

This is for the Mawson shops, not sure what Florey would do. I wanted to start a new article but it was a bit hard to work out with a three year old hanging off me. I’m surprised I’ve got to type so much, but anyway that’s a bit off track…

The Florey store would have given all pizzas for the 4.95. I’ve bought more than one pizza with that coupon. Mawson store is a rip off.

At least there will (might) be one pizza place in Florey which doesn’t include an extra vomit inducing topping on their pizzas.

I have eaten Dominos from Florey three times. The first time I got food poisoning, the second time (years later and after think the first time was a one off) I got food poisoning and the third time (I didn’t know it was Dominos pizza from Florey) surprise, surprise more food poisoning. I have only had food poisoning four times in my whole life (the other was from a hotdog at Dolly’s caravan in Civic – so I was asking for it really……).

I was speaking to someone with a close connection to the franchisee of the Florey Domino’s this morning. It wasn’t appropriate to go into the details of the Encore stuff, but when I mentioned it was supposedly the busiest Domino’s store in Australia, the reply came back… “It’s the busiest Domino’s in the world!”

So there you have it, it would seem the Florey Shops has a world record holder in its midst!

After seeing Dominos attempts to hide Encore Pizza I decided to switch to Encore, they have better service and Im all for supporting the little guys.

Is Encore another franchise ? Im sick of franchises.

Dominos response to Encore are fairly limited BECAUSE they are a franchise. Sadly, they can only really compete by dropping their price or issuing coupons. If you dont think that will be reflected in the quality of material used to prepare their product then you are naive. This will be interesting to watch.
