Recently Pizza Hut compared it’s $5 Pizza Mia deal to Domino’s $4 deal, and declared it’s offering to be bigger and better than it’s rival. Domino’s wasted no time in responding to Pizza Hut’s claim.

“We’re surprised and delighted that our esteemed competitor has chosen
to devote a press release to us. But we must ask - given that a corporation
like Pizza Hut spent an entire press release dedicated to talking about
size, it makes us wonder: do they have pizza - or pepperoni - envy?”

“They seemed to spend a lot of time doing mathematical equations to try
to convince customers that they’ve got the better deal with their
‘engineered’ product,” said Tim McIntyre, Domino’s vice president of
communications. “Ultimately, we believe it’s about the power of the
pepperoni. Our 10-inch pizza has 25 percent more pepperoni than their Pizza
Mia.* And, ours is still a dollar cheaper.”

For the record, Pizza Hut offers their 1-topping Pizza Mia pies for $5 each, when you buy 3. Dominos’s offers a 1-topping pie for $4 each, when you buy 3. Pizza Hut is correct about having the bigger pie, but Domino’s makes a good point about their (smaller) 10-inch pizzas having 25 pepperoni each, while the (larger) Pizza Mia pies have only 20. So Domino’s pizza may indeed be smaller, but it’s loaded with more toppings, and it costs $1 less. Will Pizza Hut increase it’s toppings, in an effort to defeat the competition once and for all? Stay tuned, this should be fun to watch. In the meantime, let’s eat. Cheap pies for everyone!
