School Lunch Week (Oct. 13-17) is
here, and Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ)is partnering with
school districts across the United
States to celebrate. The recognized world leader in pizza

pizza program.

Domino's store to be a key part of its local community by serving
students within its neighborhood," said Chris Brandon, Domino's Pizza spokesperson.

healthy lifestyle facts, as well as further connect our local
business owners with communities, schools and families."

sodium sauce and pepperoni. Whole-grain varieties feature up to
