Domino's pizza manager Andy Ritchie has taken a lot of orders, but never one quite like this: to feed an entire plane full of hungry, delayed passengers, stuck on the tarmac.
It was about 10:30 pm on Monday when the pilot of the Frontier Airlines flight called in, said Ritchie, manager at the pizza chain in the western US city of Cheyenne, Wyoming.
The pilot wanted to feed all 160 passengers and crew to make up for the delay, so Ritchie and his two employees whipped up around 35 pizzas and sent them to the plane.
"We took them up to the front desk at the airport and they escorted our driver to the back and they handed the pizzas directly to the flight attendants," Ritchie told AFP.
The plane was en route from Washington when it was diverted to Cheyenne while it waited for bad weather to clear in Denver, US media said.
The plane, which was already hours behind schedule, sat on the ground at the small airport for about two hours, and there was no food on board.
Eventually, one passenger told a Denver affiliate of Fox, the pilot made an announcement.
"He said, 'Ladies and gentlemen, Frontier Airlines is known for being one of the cheapest airlines in the US, but your captain is not cheap,'" Logan Marie Torres recounted to the news station.
"'I just ordered pizza for the entire plane.'"
Ritchie confirmed that it was the pilot who paid by credit card for the order, which was several hundred dollars, though he could not specify whose card it was.
nice thought, but domino's pizza is not fit for human consumption.
I'd argue it's better than Papa John's.
you would lose that argument.
Only if you like that Papa John's has the extra flavoring of the tears of its workers.
Actually, I got food poisoning from Papa John's, which is one reason I absolutely will not order from them.
i worked for them, and made a fair paycheck in doing so. owner was an a*****e, but he wasn't the manager. i'll even still buy their food, although i usually get from a family-owned pizza place that makes the best pizza i've had outside of philly. domino's i won't eat even for free. i suppose if i were absolutely starving i could choke some down, but honestly i think the box might taste better.

I can't compare due to affordability needs... crying Never had Papa John's due to cost restrictions, despite living in a city.

can you not afford takeout at all? papa john's is always running specials that make the costs quite reasonable. you could check their site online, or call the shop and ask what specials they are running...just not during the dinner rush, lol. my local one does an amusing special during football games, for every td the redskins score, you get a topping free. during one shootout they scored so much that people were getting so many toppings the cheese wouldn't melt under them, hey, we warned them.

Looks like I'm going to need some methods to convince... but that's my own debate to deal with.
