In an effort to improve school lunch and boost student morale, Domino’s pizza is coming to the school cafeteria. The move towards a tastier school lunch has been going on behind the scenes for over a year now, finally coming to fruition this Friday.
Students have been speaking out about the lackluster school food for a while now, leading to this move. Beginning in February of last year, the school had been considering incorporating a famous brand’s food into the cafeteria menu but had not yet decided which brand. School officials finally settled on Domino’s pizza after conducting a student opinion survey.
After much deliberation, the popular brand will be served every Friday with an option between two of their specialties: Ultimate Pepperoni and the ExtravaganZZa. The school will reportedly charge each student $2.50 per slice, with a limit of two slices per person. In addition, to increase the nutritional value of their pizzas, the pizzas will be slightly modified with whole grain dough and less cheese along with other alternatives to reduce both the sodium and fat content.
Domino’s lead representative in organizing the initiative, Julie Keller, says: “For a long time, we’ve wanted to expand our brand to school cafeterias. We believe this move will not only help promote our brand but also satisfy and reenergize Galileo students.”
Freshman Frances H. appreciates the new change. “I’m definitely looking forward to it. As an avid Domino’s fan, it’s cool to see Domino’s coming to our cafeteria. Junior Amy L. shares the same sentiment. “I was honestly really surprised by the change. I won’t be skipping out on any Fridays from now on.”
But not everybody is satisfied, considering the pricing and replacement of ingredients to boost nutritional value. Junior Wendy S. argues: “I know where they’re trying to go with this. But I feel like they’re just sacrificing taste for nutrition at this point. And if they’re going to compromise like this, they should at least make the first slice free.”
Sophomore Oliver L., however, will be missing out on the Friday school lunches because he realizes this is an April Fools joke.
