ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza
(NYSE: DPZ), the largest pizza company in the world based on global
retail sales, is saving pizza, one pothole at a time. Cracks,
bumps, potholes and other road conditions can put good pizzas at
risk after they leave the store. Now Domino's is hoping to help
smooth the ride home for our freshly-made pizzas. Starting today,
Domino's is asking customers to nominate their town for pothole
repairs at pavingforpizza.com.
"Have you ever hit a pothole and instantly cringed? We know that
feeling is heightened when you're bringing home a carryout order
from your local Domino's store. We don't want to lose any
great-tasting pizza to a pothole, ruining a wonderful meal," said
Russell Weiner, president of
Domino's USA. "Domino's cares too much about its customers
and pizza to let that happen."
Domino's has already worked alongside four municipalities to
help repair roads that directly affect their customers, including
Bartonville, Texas; Milford, Delaware; Athens, Georgia and Burbank, California. Customers interested in
nominating their town for a paving grant from Domino's can enter
the zip code at pavingforpizza.com. If their town is selected, the
customer will be notified and the city will receive funds to help
repair roads so pizzas make it home safely.
Customers can celebrate smooth roads with Domino's carryout
special, featuring large three-topping pizzas for $7.99 each. Customers can order the carryout deal
over the phone, in-store, at dominos.com, via Domino's mobile
ordering apps or any one of Domino's AnyWare platforms, including
text, tweet, Google Home or Apple Watch. To find the nearest
Domino's location, visit dominos.com.
