Advantages: Fast and simple, less chance for order mix ups

Disadvantages: Yet to find any!

On those days where you just can't be bothered cooking it was always nice and easy to just pick up the phone and order something from the local take away. Well now it's been made even easier by Dominos online ordering service.

Upon entering the site you are asked to enter your postcode. This not only locates your nearest store but gives you the full address, phone number and opening times. Just for the rare occasion that you might want to phone up and check something or even go collect the pizza yourself!

At this stage you are given a few different options. These include finding a new store, just in case you entered your postcode wrong the first time. Each store has a different menu so make sure you've selected the right one or when you go to place your order you may have to start all over again! There is also an option that takes you to the latest online meal deals. These change regularly so be sure to check if your favourite pizza is on offer each time you visit!
And of course there is the option to take you to the full menu.

There are numerous tabs at the top of the webpage so you can switch between starters, pizzas, deserts, drinks & the meal deals page.

Online you will find all your usual dominos favourites that you have probably ordered over the phone but when it comes to the "create your own" section it's much simpler to do it online!

Not only do you have simple drop down menu to choose the size and base of your pizza but you can also choose every other little details, from the number of toppings to the type of cheese and sauce! The type of sauce is already defaulted to the normal pizza sauce so if you do want to change it to, say BBQ, be sure and uncheck the pizza sauce box!
Adding toppings couldn't be easier since you are given a list of all the toppings available to you and you simply select a single or even double helping!
Remember this type of pizza is priced per topping so there is a handy "update price" button that you can click to check your progress when deciding what you want. There's also a "reset" button in case you change your mind and want to start over again.

One you have decided on the pizza you want click "add to order" and once you've added everything you want you can then click "check out". Here you are given a breakdown of everything in your order as well as the total price and a chance to enter any voucher codes you may have.

On the next screen you provide your contact info and the address you want the pizza delivered to. Here you can also select the time of the delivery. This ranges from get it to me ASAP to giving you the option of half hour time slots. So this means that you could sneakily pre-order a pizza at work so that it's delivered just after you arrive home. Brilliant!

The next stage is the payment options so you can pay there and then using a credit or debit card of select the cash payment option and give your money to the delivery person.

To make this simple process even quicker and easier you can register all your personal details so that next time you order you simply have to login choose your pizza and away you go! There is also the option of ordering by text!

In addition to this great service there is also a "food guide" about what's in the pizzas. Great for people with allergies that want to check exactly what they'll be eating!

Probably the best thing about this service is that it's all online so there shouldn't be any mix-ups with the toppings because the person on the phone couldn't hear you properly over the noise from the kitchen!

Summary: All round great service.
