The new names go into effect on February 13, so make sure you order your Domino’s Big Dac Burger Pizza order appropriately.Pizza is piping hot, hearty, and capable of bringing people together with one bite of crispy, cheesy goodness. “Hey, Starbucks, can you switch to ‘small, medium, and large’ too?” “I always order large pizzas, so this doesn’t affect me, but it’s still nice to see them change the names.” “I never knew that the ‘regular’ was different from the ‘medium.’” “Hold on, I’ve actually been ordering the smallest pizza all this time?” “The first time I ordered a ‘medium’ from Domino’s, I was shocked. I always got confused about what to order.” In response to the renaming, the sound of head-scratching has been replaced with sighs of relief, as shown in online reactions such as: ▼ Domino’s Japan recommends the newly-named small for one or two people, the new medium for two or three, and the continuing large for three or four. To help everyone keep the names straight, Domino’s has prepared a handy reference chart, visually representing that “medium” is becoming “small,” “regular” is becoming “medium,” and “large,” sensibly, is staying “large.” The changeover should solve the problem of customers unwittingly ordering a smaller pizza than they wanted when asking for a “medium,” but also opens to the door to the possibility of someone who’s gotten accustomed to asking for a “medium” when they actually do want Domino’s smallest pizza ending up with more pie than they wanted. ▼ It’s probably a safe bet that “small, medium, and large” will make more sense than “medium, regular, and large” to non-Japanese people too, but hey, a win-win is a win-win. According to the press release, Domino’s is changing the names from medium, regular, and large to small, medium, and large, as they are “designations that Japanese people are familiar with.” After three and a half years, Domino’s Japan seems to have finally noticed the whirring roar of people across Japan scratching their heads at their strange size names, so the chain has announced it’s renaming them. If all this seems to you like a recipe for confusion, you’re not alone. ▼ So to review, the smallest pizza is the “medium,” the one with the shortest history is the “regular,” and only the “large” makes any sense. In other words, the “regular” size is the newest addition to the menu, so when it was introduced the “regular” was the one size that Domino’s customers were least familiar with. Up until the summer of 2019, Domino’s Japan just had two pizza sizes, “medium” and “large,” but that August the chain added the “regular”. So what’s the pizza size between medium and large called? Medium plus? Junior large? Both of those would have some sort of logic behind them, but instead that pizza in the middle, the one that’s bigger than a medium, is the “regular” size…and it gets weirder still. In the above photo the smallest pizza is the “medium” and the largest one, on the right, is the “large.” OK, so maybe they call their sizes something like “medium, large, and extra-large,” or “medium, large, and Sato-size?” Again, no. ▼ That’s Domino’s medium pizza on the left. That might actually make sense if Domino’s Japan only offered two sizes, medium and large, but that’s not the case, as the medium pizza is the smallest of three sizes you can order. Nope, because you actually just ordered the smallest pizza Domino’s Japan offers. Basically, you’ve got a medium-sized appetite, so you grab your phone and order a medium-sized pizza from Domino’s Pizza Japan. You’re not starving, but you’re definitely hungry. So let’s say you’re in Japan and craving pizza. Domino’s Pizza creates visual aid as it clears up confusing order system that’s been around for years.
