Domino’s Pizza closes in Italy after losing out to small restaurants

Company attributes 'significantly increased level of competition in the food delivery market' to the closure of the last of its 29 branches in the country

Domino's borrowed heavily for plans to open 880 stores in Italy.

Domino’s Pizza’s footprint in the home of pizza proved to be short-lived, with Italians favouring local restaurants over the American version.

The last of Domino’s 29 branches have closed after the company started operations in the country seven years ago.
