It's a war of words between Domino's Pizza and Jersey Shore's Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi.

The foul-mouthed reality starlet recently told Steppin' Out magazine that she has some thoughts for Domino's, Dell, UNICO and American Family Insurance: "F--k you! If you don't want to watch, don't watch. Just shut the hell up! I'm serious...F--k you!"

Snooki's elegant outburst follows the decison of Domino's, etc. to pull their advertising from the hit MTV reality show.

A rep for the pizza company said his first thought was to decline commenting to avoid giving Snooki extra publicity. But unlike Dell, he went ahead and gave us a lengthy comment anyway...

"Our first response was, 'What a classy young lady—her parents must be so proud,' " the rep told us today. "There's no need to get into a war with this young girl, because ticktock, her 15 minutes are almost up."

Despite the beef between Domino's and the New York guidette, the pizza giant's rep assures us there are no hard feelings toward MTV. "We have no issue with MTV or the programming it airs," the rep said. "Just like viewers have a choice of what they want to watch, advertisers have a choice on what shows they want to advertise."

"We didn't pull a penny from MTV," the rep continued. "We love what they do. We never made any critical commentary. It was a 30-second call, and MTV said, 'OK,' and that was it."

Ms. Polizzi was recently fired from her job. It's probably a safe bet that Domino's delivery girl won't be her next gig.
