2025.12.06 – Reading the Fine Print on a Pizza Deal in the Netherlands

Key Takeaways

• Subject: a promo on the Domino’s Pizza Delfzijl ordering page and what the yellow box really means.
• The rule: delivery gives 50% off the second pizza, with named exceptions.
• The details: exclusions include Detroit, Volcano, and My Domino’s Box; add the same pizza twice to trigger the discount.
• Why it matters: clear terms prevent checkout surprises and help compare offers in December 2025.

Story & Details

A banner that shouts, a box that whispers. The Domino’s Pizza Delfzijl page shows a bold promise: “2e pizza 50%.” The big type draws the eye, but a small yellow notice carries the rules. It states that the half-price offer applies to the second pizza on delivery, not to every pizza in the order. It also lists the items that do not count: Detroit pizzas, the Volcano pizza, and My Domino’s Box pizzas. The final step is practical: the pizza must be placed in the basket twice so the system can apply the reduction.

Numbers that frame the order. The page sets expectations up front: a minimum order of €9.95, a delivery fee of €1.50, a store rating of 4 with 910+ reviews, and an example item—Basic pizza Family XXL (40 cm)—priced at €20.49. These figures help judge whether the basket will meet the threshold and how the discount will change the total.

A short Dutch mini-lesson for shoppers. On Dutch menus and ads, “2e pizza 50%” means the second pizza is half price, usually the cheaper one when prices differ. “Bezorgen” means delivery; “afhalen” means pickup. Many national offers give 50% off every pizza for pickup, but only 50% off the second pizza for delivery, so store pages often pair both ideas on the same screen.

Why clarity is enforced. Dutch consumer rules push businesses to present prices and conditions clearly. This matters for discounts shown online, where small print can hide limits. The Delfzijl page follows the national pattern: clear call-out, then exclusions, then the basket mechanic.

Conclusions

What to do with a tempting banner. Look for the quiet line that defines the deal. For this Domino’s delivery offer, think in pairs: choose two pizzas, expect the cheaper one to drop by half, and avoid excluded items if the goal is the maximum cut. In December 2025, that reading still holds and remains the simplest way to make the math work for dinner.
