Pizza in a Flash.
By Nick Hodge | October 14, 2006
Dominos Pizza in Australia have deployed a Flash-based RIA (Rich internet application) for ordering. As a fan of pizza, the internet, and not having to call in to get my fix — this is way cool.
Early on in the dotcom boom, various pizza franchises created web sites for online ordering. They sucked. I think Pizza Hut promised one, but never delivered. It has been a constant bug-bear ordering pizza has been a major hassle.
So, here’s to Dominos and a satisfied customer. Both technically, and gastronomically.

Thanks for the tip Nick. Almost worked too. Although the site is fantastic Dominos need to work on a few more “logistical” things like matching the coupon offers in the mail to the online offering.
Call me tight but i’d still prefer to pick up the phone if i’m going to save $4 AND get a garlic bread and bottle of coke!
