I always see awesome dominos deals for Victoria only on ozbargain. Why Victoria specifically and not other states?
If you go to the dominos site, they have popups offering extra large pizzas, supposedly 50% larger, for $3 more. If its really 50% larger, thats a pretty good deal…since the regular price is $7.95 and you are getting 50% more for only $3.
Anyone tried these out yet?
How do you feel about chalk and cheese
More junk food eaters in vic.
Let me just find Don Meij's number for ya
They say it's 50% more* (*by surface area once cooked). My theory is that the base will be a lot thinner than classic, so probably not exactly 50% more food.
it's that also come with 50% more topping?
It's always better to go for quality than quantity.

My thoughts, first off the box, the normal box size comes to about 29.5cm depth, the XL box though, well as you can imagine, its bigger at 34.5 cm of depth.

But lets be honest, none of us a here for the box, we're here for the pizza, so the question is, how does the pizza compare?
Well, a normal pizza is about 26.3cm in Diameter
The XL though comes to a size of 31.7cm in Diameter

So of course its bigger, but how much bigger, well here you can see the two halves side by side:

But to calculate it we can work out the area of both pizzas, basically:
Normal Pizza: pi x r^2 = pi(26.3/2)^2 = 543.25 cm^2 = 0.054325m^2
Large Pizza: pi x r^2 = pi(26.3/2)^2 = 789.24 cm^2 = 0.078924 m^2
So definitely bigger for sure (but we knew that), the question now is, is it worth the $3 extra?
So a cursory check says that a traditional pizza cost about $11.95 pickup from Dominos through the Dominos menu (I know coupons, coupons), that comes to about:
Normal: 11.95/543.25 = $0.021997 per cm^2
XL: (11.95+3)/789.24 = $0.01894227 per cm^2
So it comes down cheaper per square centimeter if you go the XL assuming I did that math right, basically if you were paying the normal price, an XL should cost you $17.36 but instead you'd typically pay (11.95+3)= $14.95.
Obviously the other questions that come into it are crust thickness, whether you actually want an XL pizza, whether my pizza sizes are different to others, whether you're buying pizza for multiple friends so prefer more slices/shared, and the biggest one for us here, how much of an impact will coupons make to the price (because who here pays $11.95 pick up, seriously).
I might also add that I got garlic crust here unsure how much it affects a normal XL pizza, also I didn't actually order an XL, just the garlic crust, so I assume they gave me an XL anyway since it fits the box basically to the max (maybe for the garlic crust?)
Solid calcs!
How's garlic crust by the way?
I'm not believing this voodoo maths until it's confirmed by member mathnerd.
Similarly, I got the Melbourne range pizza with garlic crust and got this xl pizza as well. Although I did not request xl
"Why Does Victoria Always Have Awesome Domino's Deals?"
to keep those hungry gangs at bay?
Because they have an awesome health care service?
Like, theres that 3 pizzas delivered for $20 coupon in Victoria. Thats the normal pickup price elsewhere for 3 pizzas. Why is it so cheap there?
I wish to know this too that deal is awesome.
Wow, I've never seen the words awesome and Dominos in the same sentence.
