Jackson Jambalaya

This is VERY bad.

Fake news

They won’t deliver pizza at night

Bad reporting

Ha ha ha! That’s what you Jackson idiots get for eating Dominos instead of Pizza Inn.

This is racism pure and simple. Black folks are being denied service.

As a former delivery driver in that area I can provide some insight. These people got what they deserve. The juice isn't worth the squeeze in that area. The customers don't tip and complain too much because they want free food. It's a cultural issue. The crime issue is just the politically correct excuse.

Nowhere does it say northeast Jackson. It says north. There is a difference.

They are a free enterprise and can choose to serve how they want. Being a business owner myself, I say they made the best decision for themselves and their employees. Along with my right to free speech I say, lumumba, you deserve everything you have coming to you and your families association with the New Republic Of Africa. And don’t forget that Bennie Thompson was /is associated with it.

As an aside, I can't believe WLBT is still employing Rosylyn Anderson.

North East Jackson says thank you to Dominos.

uh oh - lawsuits a coming ..... Dominos red-lining there service area....
NE jacktown must now settle for hunt bros pizza from double quick.....

Capitalism will step in. I'm sure Waitr and Grubhub will fill in the void.

5:50 - why don't you watch the report and pay attention. Then look at a map, if you know how to read one. Crossgates Apartments. On Ridgewood east of I-55. That's NE Jackson. Try to show a little initiative.

I wouldn't deliver to that apt complex either. It's only the apt complex. Not the entire area.

This is more fake news. Basically the Ridgeland Dominos will not deliver to HUD apartments after dark. No where in the report does it say “northeast Jackson”.

But they will still deliver to Baby Chok's street in NE Jacktown.

Regardless, just like sushi, gas station pizza is much better.

There is no way I would deliver pizza in Jackson anywhere. It’s a jungle out there.

@8:01 AM - listen again. He said the apartments AND OTHER PARTS OF NORTH JACKSON.

8.01 Great point. If the company had come up with a policy that they would not deliver in North Jackson except that apt complex then the entire area would have lost it.

I used to deliver for Dominoes in the 90s. Even back then we had areas we could not deliver to. We typically met the customer in the parking lot of a Dollar General. Think it may actually have been a TG&Y in those days.

Back then we had the 30 minute guarantee or its free deal going. Can't tell you how many times people would pull the mailbox out of the ground or cover the address with a garbage back to try to avoid paying for the pizza. The other trick was to leave you standing on the porch for 5 minutes knocking then they would claim you were late.

Bring back Pizza on Wheels...I delivered all over North \ North West \ North East Jackson ... absolutely the best pizza in town at the time.

Time for the state to take over Jackson and clean this crap up.

It's the Crossings on Ridgewood Rd. Pretty much all the apartment complexes on Ridgewood Road are bad. I think I've seen the calls for service for all of them. Same for the apartments on Northside Drive by Chastain.

I live in CCJ and I ordered dominos last night for my daughter's JA group at my house and they delivered 8 pizzas no problem. It's simply those apartments. The crossings?

The crossing have been bad for a long time I got robbed at gun point right outside my apt at 300 in the after noon in 2010

You're worried about pizza? There are a number of places that an ambulance won't enter until police arrive to escort them in...

Years ago I was at the dominos store in Clinton (noetside drive). I overheard the manager crowing “we aren’t going to discriminate against anyone “ with regard to delivering to the apartments east of the store on Flag Chapel Road.

It was a year or two later one of their drivers was murdered in that area from that store.

Some areas don’t deserve delivery.

I'm sure it isn't the entire Apartment Complex endangering the delivery drivers. Just like corrupt and racist police, it is just a few bad apples.

Dominoes shouldn't discriminate against the entire apartment complex. Sounds like a case for the ACLU and NAACP just like Madison Coubty Sheriff.

Discrimination and white supremacy can not be tolerated going into 2020.

So one location in Ridgeland won't deliver? There are Domino's in Jackson... at least one right off Northside and another on High Street. Doesn't seem like anyone is at risk of too little access to bad chain pizza.

12:51 - Unlikely that you will find any white supremacists at that Domino's, but it would be great if you would video yourself going there and asking around just to be sure!

Bring my pizza, bitch!!

What about hoas? I was at an hoa in Brandon and got robbed out of $300000!!!!

OMG

Conservtards!

@2:32- That comparison is ludicrous. First of all, did you personally pay in $300,000? Then, you weren’t robbed of that amount. The collective homeowners association, yes, but not you individually. Second, do you even understand the differences in violent robberies and embezzlement? If you think they are equal in real time, please report to the Ridgeland Domino’s and apply to be their delivery driver to this area. Seriously, you sound ridiculous!

Not to mention the VERY folks upset about non-delivery of pizza to this area would be THE EXACT SAME folks threatening to SUE their employer for endangering their lives. It’s a never ending cycle of stupid behavior and stupid demands.

Hasn't been decent pizza around since Shakey's Pizza Parlor and Priatzos at Pizza Hut. Life now has forever more sucked since we lost those.

I laughed at that post so hard, I shot Kingfish's Panty-Droppin' Eggnog through my nose.

10:17 AM, do you need to name drop anything else?

I can't imagine that the majority of drivers are not black. This isn't racism, this is survival.

Hasn't been decent pizza around since Shakey's Pizza Parlor and Priatzos at Pizza Hut. Life now has forever more sucked since we lost those.

Shakey's? Holy shit, dude, that place closed in the 1970s! Are you seriously contending that no pizza has been able to pass your muster since the Carter administration? And it was an average chain selling average pizza at best.

Hell, there ain't been a decent steak since Bonanza closed on I-55! And no hamburger joint in the city holds a candle to Taylor Burger! And how sorry are all these convenience stores since Tote-Sum closed? I ain't gotten a decent new car since the days of Lane Moak Pontiac, and local radio has been awful since we lost "Fun 14" WJQS. And for Pete's sake they need to bring back Someplace Else arcade in the old Jackson Mall!

All these disenfranchised customers will just go to the Skybox for lemon pepper chicken wings instead.

Does Ray Ray still park his orange Escalade out in front of that place?

I live in CCJ (NOT JCC, Plebs!). Last week I had just finished a round of golf with my new set of PXG irons when my wife informed me that Britnee and her friends from JA were famished. Normally we only eat pizza flown in from Tuscany, but this was short notice and my S 450 was in the shop (wouldn't you know it?), so I called Dominos. They delivered to my CCJ home with no problem. I was so pleased that I peeled off a $50 bill from my ever present wad of cash as a tip.

Being a resident of CCJ, I know that my neighbors are all as wealthy as I and tip well, unlike those lower class rapscallions in...what was that place called again? The Van Mark Crossings? Forgive me, but I've lived in CCJ so long that I'm unfamiliar with apartment complexes and other such low-class dwellings.

Anyway, I don't understand all the trouble. I can get all the Dominos pizza I want delivered to my CCJ residence. The people living in that apartment complex...let them eat cake.

"I live in CCJ and I ordered dominos last night for my daughter's JA group at my house and they delivered 8 pizzas no problem. It's simply those apartments. The crossings?"

EIGHT pizzas? How many kids are in that group? Did 16 teenage girls eat half a pizza each?

@2:44
Shakey's is still alive and well all over the USA. They are also still all over Asia as well! They just don't operate in hillbilly ghettos like the Jackson Metro.

Girls softball team. Some of them could play varsity football.

@3:32 AM -Excellent, but I should point out that the best and most authentic pizza comes from Napoli (Naples for you hillbillies), not Tuscany. Pizza was invented in Napoli.

No good pizza now? Please. Bravo's is pretty damn good. If I'm wanting heavy duty, Pizza Shack fits the bill although I like to have the crust cooked longer. Don't like gooey dough.

Brick Oven had excellent pizza when it was open. Hint, hint, Grant.

@3:52
I ordered 8 pizzas because I have 4 kids. 1 daughter and 3 teenage sons. Yes I ordered 8 pizzas.

Shakey's is still alive and well all over the USA. They are also still all over Asia as well! They just don't operate in hillbilly ghettos like the Jackson Metro.

According to their website, all but three Shakey's restaurants are in Southern California. Quite an interesting interpretation of "all over the USA". Apparently they don't operate in hillbilly ghettos like New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Houston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Denver, or Kansas City either.

Regardless, the Jackson Shakey's I remember closed in the late 1970s and became a rib joint named Montana's. It served beer to underage kids, which made it extremely popular and extremely short lived. Last I saw it was the Fondren PO.

If that's the last good pizza you had in Jackson, you must be eating nothing but frozen Fox Deluxe pizzas from the grocery store. You need to get out more.

@4:33
I ate it in L.A. and Manila in the within the last 5 years. All of America outside of L.A. is Hillbillies. Except when the Hillbillies came to Beverly Hills. Don't you watch TV?

My mom lives in Jackson so I come here to decompress. I'm too young to remember it in the 1970's because I was born in 1992. Sorry, You have me confused with another comment.

It's just a perception of non-delivery.

Let's recap: There is a business whose sole business is delivering pizzas to whomever wants one (or 8) in exchange for the price of the items delivered (plus a tip for the delivery person, hopefully). However, for some reason, it doesn't want to deliver to a certain area. Sure, "racism" could explain it, but since I've never heard the slightest hint that any such delivery service asks anything remotely akin to "What would you like on your pizza and what color is your skin?" I'm forced to conclude that racism doesn't explain the policy of only delivering to those areas in which the delivery people aren't likely to be robbed.

I can spot a liar from a good distance. 4:52 is 27 years old and is NOT visiting his mom in Jackson to decompress. He lives above her garage and decompresses by tokin' all day long while listening to Donovan's Mellow Yellow. Roach-covered pizza boxes adorn almost the entire floor of his kitchenette.

Manila and L.A. my ass.

@3:17, the only Manila and L.A. this kid knows is Manila folder and LA Gear.

There have been several drivers that had guns pulled on them, stuff stolen out of their vehicles and someone shooting a gun not only at the crossing apartments, but at the bay meadows apartment complex. Its about the safety of the drivers. There was a driver at robinson rd area that got jumped but someone who obviously dont have anything better to do than rob people instead if getting a job and working for what you want or need. Unfortunately a few bad apples will spoil it for the rest of us. You could always go pick up your food or cook.
