![]() ![]() I’m just saying all of these dedicated food ordering apps and add-ons feel kind of like a fad, a throwback to the old turn-of-the-millenium, Y2K-era. Like the i-Opener of 1999, which featured a dedicated pizza key:Īnyone remember that hunk of crap? I bought one cheap and tried to use it as a second monitor, but it never really worked. Honestly, all of this reminds me of the Web 1.0 era, when there was a brief fad of including dedicated pizza-ordering buttons on various web devices. [ Editor’s Note: So, I’m not exactly sure how I feel about all this I mean, CarPlay works because you have your phone right there, and you really could just tell Siri to call them and then you have a full voice interface to the pizza people, and they could be, say, an independent local pizza place that makes way better pizza than Domino’s but, eh, whatever, I guess this is easier. That’s not a very high bar, but it helps in life to lower your expectations, then be pleasantly surprised when they’re exceeded. While far from gourmet, Domino’s blows Sbarro out of the water. Oh, and that’s another positive – diet-sensitive fast food options aren’t exactly everywhere, so having something vegetarian or gluten-free at the tap of a finger is pretty dope. The firm stepped up its sauce game enough in recent years to build decent pies, even if you opt for gluten-free crust. Granted, Domino’s isn’t top-notch pizza, but it isn’t wet trash anymore. Just don’t re-enact C’etait Un Rendez-Vous over a large meat lover’s. Plus, using the CarPlay app lets you access the dope-ass pizza tracker, turning the commute home into some sort of timing challenge. Sure, you could instead just ask Siri to call Domino’s, but do you really trust Siri? I’ve had voice texts come out as utter gibberish before, so for all I know, Siri might select The Big Pink on my music streaming service of choice instead of phoning me through to an alright pizza chain. However, whipping out your phone to order food on the road is a bad idea, so a CarPlay app can help bridge the gap between safety and sustenance.Īs it sits, you have two options for ordering Domino’s through the app from your CarPlay-equipped car: Tap a saved favorite order and store it, or get patched into a phone call with the Domino’s network that will let you order anything from any store. Mealtime is a communal thing, and takeaway always beats eating in the car. Idling sucks, and European automakers’ early pathetic excuses for cup holders were actually good. As weird as this sounds, Domino’s has the right idea. We’re really living in the future, folks. Who’s up for a slice? Starting today, drivers of modern cars who want some cheesy goodness are able to order Domino’s through Apple CarPlay. ![]()
