== History ==
=== 1960s–2010s ===
In 1960, [[Tom Monaghan]] and his brother, James, took over the operation of DomiNick's, an existing location of a small pizza restaurant chain that had been owned by Dominick DiVarti, at 507 Cross Street (now 301 West Cross Street)<ref name=Leonard>James Leonard, ''Living the Faith: A Life of Tom Monaghan'' (University of Michigan Press, 2012) pp41-55</ref> in [[Ypsilanti, Michigan]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/business/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2014/04/new_gourmet_burger_joint_openi.html|title=New gourmet burger joint opening in original Domino's Pizza location|last=Allen|first=Jeremy|date=April 21, 2014|work=mlive.com|accessdate=December 20, 2016}}</ref> near [[Eastern Michigan University]].<ref name="New Yorker">{{cite news |first=Peter J. |last=Boyer |title=The Deliverer - A pizza mogul funds a moral crusade |work=[[The New Yorker]] |page= |date=February 19, 2007 |accessdate=August 31, 2009 |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2007/02/19/the-deliverer}}</ref> The deal was secured by a $500 down payment, and the brothers borrowed $900 to pay for the store.<ref name=CNNMoney>{{cite web |authors=Sloane, Julie and Tom Monaghan |title=Tom Monaghan Domino's Pizza. |work=[[CNNMoney]] |date=September 1, 2003 |accessdate=October 15, 2014 |url=http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fsb/fsb_archive/2003/09/01/350799/}}</ref> The brothers planned to split the work hours evenly, but James did not want to quit his job as a full-time postman to keep up with the demands of the new business. Within eight months, James traded his half of the business to Tom for the [[Volkswagen Beetle]] they used for pizza deliveries.<ref name=CNNMoney />
By 1965, Tom Monaghan had purchased two additional pizzerias; he now had a total of three locations in the same county. Monaghan wanted the stores to share the same branding, but the original owner forbade him from using the DomiNick's name. One day, an employee, Jim Kennedy, returned from a [[pizza delivery]] and suggested the name "Domino's".<ref name=Leonard/> Monaghan immediately loved the idea and officially renamed the business Domino's Pizza, Inc. in 1965.<ref name=CNNMoney />
The company logo originally had three dots, representing the three stores in 1965.<ref name=CNNMoney /> Monaghan planned to add a new dot with the addition of every new store, but this idea quickly faded, as Domino's experienced rapid growth.<ref name=CNNMoney /> Domino's Pizza opened its first franchise location in 1967<ref>Domino's Pizza Inc.

In 1975, Domino's faced a lawsuit by [[Domino Foods, Inc.|Amstar Corporation]], the maker of [[Domino Foods|Domino Sugar]], alleging trademark infringement and unfair competition. On May 2, 1980, the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit|Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals]] in [[New Orleans]] found in favor of Domino's Pizza.<ref name="Altlaw">{{cite web|title=AMSTAR CORPORATION, Plaintiff-Appellee, v.

In 1995, Domino's Pizza entered China through the Pizza Vest Fast Food Group, which also owned the rights to operate Domino's Pizza in 11 Southeast Asian countries.
==== China ====
The Chinese subsidiary is known as Domino's Pizza China ([[Simplified Chinese characters|simplified Chinese]]: 达美乐; [[pinyin]]: ''Dá Měi Lè'').
As of October 2019, Domino's Pizza China now has about 250 stores in 9 cities: Beijing (about 75 stores), Shanghai (about 100 stores), Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, and Hangzhou. The 200th store in Shenzhen, was also the 10,000th Domino's store internationally.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/dominos-opens-10000th-international-store|title=Domino's Opens 10,000th International Store|last=danny|date=2019-03-28|website=QSR magazine|language=en|access-date=2020-02-03}}</ref>
The first mainland China store was located in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone 4 and the first Beijing location opened in Haidian District in May 1997. In December 2006, Taiwan's Jinghua Hotel Group invested NT$500 million to acquire the rights for Domino's Pizza in Taiwan and Beijing. In 2017, Dash Brands Ltd., a foreign investment company specializing in restaurant chains, obtained the exclusive rights for Hong Kong and Macau.
In China over 90% of orders come from digital. Orders can be made in the stores and on company website, app and popular messaging app, [[WeChat]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201904/04/WS5ca569efa3104842260b46d8.html|title=Domino's bullish on China market - Chinadaily.com.cn|last=李齐|website=www.chinadaily.com.cn|access-date=2020-02-03}}</ref> Despite insisting that its own distribution system has greater advantages in safeguarding service quality and data retention, Domino's has already opened up a model of cooperation with third-party take-out platforms such as [[Ele.me]] and [[Meituan-Dianping|Meituan]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://finance.sina.com.cn/stock/relnews/us/2019-10-13/doc-iicezzrr1833087.shtml|title="Pizza Hut's global "enemy" Domino's, has to catch up in China!".|last=foodinc|first=|date=2019-10-13|website=finance.sina.com.cn|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-02-03}}</ref>

=== Change in ownership ===
In 1998, after 38 years of ownership, Domino's founder Tom Monaghan announced his retirement, sold 93 percent of the company to [[Bain Capital]], Inc. for about $1 billion, and ceased being involved in day-to-day operations of the company.<ref name="LAT sale">{{cite news |title=Domino's Founder to Retire, Sell Stake |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |page= |date=September 26, 1998 |accessdate=August 31, 2009 |quote= |url=https://articles.latimes.com/1998/sep/26/business/fi-26500}}</ref> A year later, the company named [[Dave Brandon]] as its CEO.<ref name="Brandon">{{cite press release |title=David A.

In a 2009 survey of consumer taste preferences among national chains by [[Brand Keys]], Domino's was last — tied with [[Chuck E. Cheese's]].

=== Naming ===
In August 2012, Domino's Pizza changed their name to simply Domino's. At the same time, Domino's introduced a new logo that removed the blue rectangle and text under the domino in the logo, and changed the formerly all-red domino to be blue on the side with two dots and red on the side with one dot.<ref name=MSNmakeover>{{cite web|last=Peterson|first=Kim|title=Domino's gets a makeover, loses the 'Pizza'|url=http://money.msn.com/top-stocks/post.aspx?post=da2437ae-f1de-4e61-9d33-d9183f9c4dbf|work=MSN Money|publisher=Microsoft|accessdate=March 21, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120817221602/http://money.msn.com/top-stocks/post.aspx?post=da2437ae-f1de-4e61-9d33-d9183f9c4dbf|archive-date=August 17, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://q103albany.com/dominos-pizza-is-changing-their-name/|title=Domino's Pizza Is Changing Their Name|work=Q 103 - Albany's Rock Station|accessdate=July 16, 2015}}</ref> This was done because the company wanted to "expand" menu choices rather than simply rely on their traditional pizza.
== Products ==
The Domino's menu varies by region. The current Domino's menu in the United States features a variety of [[Italian-American cuisine|Italian-American]] main and side dishes. Pizza is the primary focus, with traditional, specialty, and custom pizzas available in a variety of crust styles and toppings. In 2011, Domino's launched artisan-style pizzas. Additional entrees include [[pasta]], [[bread bowl]]s, and [[Submarine sandwich|oven-baked sandwiches]]. The menu offers chicken and bread sides, as well as beverages and desserts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/menu.jsp#/menu/category/viewAll/|title=Domino's Menu|work=Dominos.com|publisher=Domino's Pizza|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170927123357/https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/menu.jsp#/menu/category/viewAll/|archivedate=September 27, 2017|url-status=dead|accessdate=October 13, 2017}}</ref>
From its founding until the early 1990s, the menu at Domino's Pizza was kept simple relative to other fast food restaurants, to ensure efficiency of delivery.<ref>{{cite news |title=Variety is the spice of life in Domino's Pizza |author=Jean Halliday |newspaper=Crain's Detroit Business |date=August 2, 1993 |url=}}</ref> Historically, Domino's menu consisted solely of one style of pizza crust in two sizes (12-inch and 16-inch), 11 toppings, and Coca-Cola as the only soft drink option.<ref>{{cite news |title=Domino's great delivery deal: The pizza's there in 30 minutes or it's $ 3 cheaper |author=Jim Osterman |newspaper=AdWeek |date=August 8, 1987 |url=}}</ref>
The first menu expansion occurred in 1989, with the debut of Domino's deep dish or [[pan pizza]]. Its introduction followed market research showing that 40% of pizza customers preferred thick crusts. The new product launch cost approximately $25 million, of which $15 million was spent on new sheet metal pans with perforated bottoms.<ref>{{cite news |title=Domino's Pizza deep-dishes it out |author=Rick Telberg |newspaper=Nation's Restaurant News |date=May 15, 1989 |url=}}</ref> Domino's started testing extra-large size pizzas in early 1993, starting with the 30-slice, yard-long "The Dominator".<ref>{{cite news |title=Domino's Announces 30 Slice Pizza |author= |agency=Associated Press |date=April 28, 1993 |url=}}</ref>
Domino's tapped into a market trend toward bite-size foods with spicy ''Buffalo Chicken Kickers'', as an alternative to Buffalo Wings, in August 2002. The breaded, baked, white-meat fillets, similar to [[chicken fingers]], are packaged in a custom-designed box with two types of sauce to "heat up" and "cool down" the chicken.<ref name=Zuber_NRN>{{cite news|title=Pizza players vie for shares of segment pie with new offerings |author=Amy Zuber |newspaper=Nation's Restaurant News |date=July 8, 2002 |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_27_36/ai_89158464/ |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080214102434/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_27_36/ai_89158464 |archivedate=February 14, 2008 }}</ref>

In August 2003, Domino's announced its first new pizza since January 2000, the ''Philly Cheese Steak Pizza''.

In 2008, Domino's once again branched out into non-pizza fare, offering oven-baked sandwiches in four styles, intended to compete with [[Subway (restaurant)|Subway]]'s toasted [[submarine sandwich]]es.

=== Charitable activities ===
In 2001, Domino's launched a two-year national partnership with the [[Make-A-Wish Foundation|Make-A-Wish Foundation of America]]. That same year, company stores in [[New York City]] and [[Washington, D.C.]] provided more than 12,000 pizzas to relief workers following the [[September 11 attacks]] on the [[World Trade Center (1973-2001)|World Trade Center]] and [[The Pentagon]]. Through a matching funds program, the corporation donated $350,000 to the [[American Red Cross]]' disaster relief effort.<ref name="Corporate history"/> In 2004, Domino's began a partnership with [[St. Jude Children's Research Hospital]], participating in the hospital's "Thanks and Giving" campaign since the campaign began in 2004, and raising $5.2 million in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|last = Durr|first=Matt|title=Domino's Pizza raises $5.2M for St. Jude Children's hospital |publisher = MLive Media Group|accessdate=April 8, 2016 | url=http://www.mlive.com/business/ann-arbor/index.ssf/2015/02/dominos_pizza_raises_52m_for_s.html}}</ref>
== Advertising ==
In the late 1980s, Domino's was well known for its advertisements featuring a character called [[Noid|the Noid]], created by Group 243 Inc. who hired [[Will Vinton Studios]] to produce the television commercials that featured the character. The [[catchphrase]] associated with the commercials was "Avoid the Noid." The Noid was discontinued after Kenneth Lamar Noid, believing the mascot to be an imitation of him, held two Domino's employees hostage in Chamblee, Georgia.<ref>{{cite news|title=Domino's hostages couldn't avoid the 'Noid' this time|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1291&dat=19890131&id=ZkBUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=n40DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6893,9690639|newspaper=Boca Raton News|date=January 31, 1989}}</ref> The employees escaped while Noid ate a pizza he had ordered.<ref>{{cite news|title=Pizza Workers Can't 'Avoid Noid'--Held Hostage 5 Hours|url=https://articles.latimes.com/1989-01-31/news/mn-1499_1_pizza-chain|publisher="Los Angeles Times"|date=January 31, 1989}}</ref> Noid was eventually diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and acquitted due to insanity, and later committed suicide.<ref>{{cite news|title=PARANOID NOID IS NOT GUILTY DUE TO INSANITY|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/60707/PARANOID-NOID-IS-NOT-GUILTY-DUE-TO-INSANITY.html?pg=all|publisher="Deseret News"|date=August 23, 1989}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Crockett|first1=Zachary|title=How Domino's Pizza Lost Its Mascot|url=https://priceonomics.com/how-dominos-pizza-lost-its-mascot/|website="Priceonomics"}}</ref> The Noid was briefly brought back for a week in 2011 in an arcade-style game on the Domino's Facebook page.

Due to a glitch on the Domino's website, the company gave away nearly 11,000 free medium pizzas in March 2009. The company had planned the campaign for December 2008 but scrapped the idea and never promoted it. The redemption code to receive the pizzas was never deactivated, however, and resulted in the free giveaway of the pizzas across the United States after someone discovered the promotion on the website by typing in the word "bailout" as the redemption code and then shared it with others on the Internet. Domino's deactivated the code on the morning of March 31, 2009, and promised to reimburse store owners for the pizzas.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Shebar, Alex |title=Free pizza deal was tasty accident |date=April 3, 2009 |url=http://archive.cincinnati.com/article/20090403/CINCI/304030008/Free-pizza-deal-tasty-accident |website=cincinnati.com |accessdate=August 29, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903070415/http://archive.cincinnati.com/article/20090403/CINCI/304030008/Free-pizza-deal-tasty-accident |archive-date=September 3, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== 30-minute guarantee ===
Beginning in 1973, Domino's Pizza offered a guarantee to customers their pizzas would be delivered within 30 minutes of placing an order or they would receive the pizzas free. This guarantee was changed to $3 off in the mid-1980s. In 1992, the company settled a lawsuit brought by the family of an Indiana woman who had been killed by a speeding Domino's delivery driver, paying the family $2.8 million. In another 1993 lawsuit, brought by a woman who was injured when a Domino's delivery driver ran a red light and collided with her vehicle. The woman was awarded nearly $80 million by a jury, but accepted a payout of $15 million.<ref name="Snopes"/> The 30 minute guarantee was dropped that same year because of the "public perception of reckless driving and irresponsibility", according to then-CEO Tom Monaghan.<ref name=Snopes>{{cite web |url=https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mush-vroom-pizza/ |title=End of Domino's Pizza Delivery Guarantee |work=[[Snopes]] |accessdate=July 8, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1993-12-22/news/9312220035_1_thomas-monaghan-delivery-guarantee-delivery-people |title=Domino's Drops 30-minute Delivery Pledge |date=December 22, 1993 |accessdate=June 8, 2018 |work=[[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref>
