Historie i Danmark
Domino's Pizza åbnede den første butik i Skandinavien i Danmark i 1997. I dag har vi 11 butikker, hvoraf 5 butikker er Domino's Express butikker, som vi bl.a. har i samarbejde med Monarch.
Fokus har altid været på et højkvalitets produkt, samt en unik leveringsservice, hvilket giver Domino's Pizza en god konkurrencedygtighed.
Hovedkontoret er belliggende i Roskilde, sammen med vores callcenter og centrallager, hvorfra kvalitets råvarer og frisk dej bliver kørt ud til butikkerne.
I 2003 startede vi franchising op med stor succes. Alle vores butikker er i dag franchise butikker, med undtagelse af butikken i Roskilde.
