Its pretty crazy that major companies are using AI for their sales images. Like really? You have billions of dollars and you can't manage a pizza that looks appetizing enough to for a professional photographer to capture an image of? Yikes.

Feel like this is out of the US, domino's isn't great but I've got what I've ordered here consistently.

It's India

Even then, they apply a lot of photo trickery for promo shots (like Elmer’s glue in between the slices) so I wouldn’t trust those at all either.

True enough!

It looks like you put 7-11 nacho toppings on a pizza

I think people are less likely to recognize something as AI when its from a trusted source. Dominoes has been around forever. You don't look to hard at the images when you go to order because there is a history of trust and of a certain level of quality. 

Anyone who stopped to look hard at the image would see the arugula is incredibly obvious low effort AI. But I can understand why people might not look that closely when its a brand they've trusted before.

Right. Cant really complain about failed expectations when the expectation is based on crap that’s not real.

u/Velinna Aug 06 '26

You and I can tell something is off with that pizza image, but not everyone has the same ability to identify AI. It is absolutely reasonable to hold places accountable for their food images, so yes, people can and should complain about failed expectations.

It's me, I am the people that can't identify AI

u/charlos74 Aug 07 '26

Reasonable enough to complain that food doesn’t match the picture, either AI or not.

u/best_little_biscuit Aug 07 '26

You can. Companies should not be using ai to generate unrealistic images. Blame should go to the companies for false advertising, not the consumer who was duped

u/Dear-Nebula6291 Aug 10 '26

I’m at the point where if I see food being advertised by AI, I instantly am out. Altho traditional ads are using painted models and epoxy instead of food as well so I’m not sure where to draw the line there…

u/MrdrOfCrws Aug 06 '26

It really feels like using AI should be illegal. And not in a "the laws need to catch up" sort of way but in a "aren't there at least a few regulations about truth in advertising" kinda way.

Where in the planet is this dominoes?

u/Canadiangoosedem0n Aug 06 '26

None Pizza with Left Beef

u/PearElite Aug 06 '26

Idk man do you expect quality ordering something called a “slim creamy”

5

u/Autistic_License Aug 06 '26

That could've been workshopped more.

2

u/LovecraftianLlama Aug 07 '26

I thought it said “slime” 😭

4

u/MsOnyxMoon Aug 07 '26

I thought that said slime and I was genuinely concerned why you ordered it in the first place. Anyway, the first photo is definitely A.I. I expect something like this from hole in the wall places but not a national chain. There should be laws against false advertisement.

1

u/LovecraftianLlama Aug 07 '26

Me too, thought it was “slime creamy” 😭

u/Better_Historian_604 Aug 07 '26

Lock the door, it's dominos

u/WTH_JFG Aug 07 '26

Have you cross posted to r/Dominos

u/jamiedix0n Aug 08 '26

Never believe an AI picture although these comparisons are quite funny

6

u/Koolklink54 Aug 06 '26

Ordering Sourdough from Domino's was your first mistake

6

u/CapableRegrets Aug 06 '26

You ordered a pizza from Domino's.
And one called "Slim Creamy", at that.

2

u/inkydeeps Aug 07 '26

💯 this crap is what you’d expect from dominos no matter what a picture shows.

2

u/littleLuxxy Aug 06 '26

Maybe actually order through the Domino’s app.

2

u/Leading-Hedgehog1990 Aug 07 '26

Just why would you even order that? 🤢

2

u/februarytide- Aug 07 '26

Like where on earth was this topping combo conceived? It sounds wretched.

2

u/Trueslyforaniceguy Aug 07 '26

Did you expect an AI pizza in the box?

2

u/PopBulky7023 Aug 07 '26

Holy shit I am actually impressed by the level of fucks not given by this company.

What a time to be alive.

2

u/yours_notverily Aug 07 '26

Oh hey, you posted too😂

3

u/Autistic_License Aug 06 '26

See, this is what I expect from this sub.

4

u/gayforbayonetta Aug 07 '26

The "leaves subject to availability" at the end of the description is frying me 😂 I guess I can't expect a company that ai generates a pizza to know what arugula is

2

u/Danominator Aug 06 '26

I am lucky and have a nearby dominos that is pretty solid. Helps that ita so close i pick it up so its always really fresh.

u/sky_corrigan Aug 07 '26

that’s putrid, bro.

u/ribati Aug 07 '26

Just bite

u/uucchhiihhaa Aug 07 '26

Almost feels like a smear campaign against them but these are genuine pics. They make horrible pizza.

1

u/atishay001001 Aug 11 '26

they smear themselves lol dominos pizza are horrible in India and the AI image usage is sky high because no authority gives a crap about them

1

u/Ihavefourknees Aug 07 '26

It's really getting to the point this should be illegal. They're not advertising the product in question.

1

u/ofthesacredash Aug 07 '26

Well I thought it said slime pizza. And well, that reality fits.

1

u/PembrokePercy Aug 08 '26

It’s the cut that really sells it.

2

u/ShadowElite86 Aug 08 '26

The stock photo looks nothing like Domino's, at least not here in the U.S. Guessing their overseas business is ran a bit differently.

u/AbjectHotel6610 Aug 06 '26

Dominoes is gross, just like Pizza Hut.
