History

Australia

The first Domino's store to open in Australia was in Springwood, Queensland, in 1983, and offered home delivery after home delivery was introduced into Australia by the Pizza Oven Family Restaurants located at multiple sites all over the southside of Brisbane owned by Paul Hughes & Bill Kerwick in 1981.[5] The Australian and New Zealand Master Franchise was bought by Silvio's Dial-a-Pizza in 1993, and in 1995 the two brands merged and rebranded as Domino's Pizza.

Currently, there are around 700 Domino's stores in Australia, making it the biggest pizza franchised business in the country. The Australian stores are spread across the country, from the main capital cities like Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney, to more rural areas like Armidale.

New Zealand

In 2003, Domino's entered the New Zealand fast food market, competing with both rival pizza chain Pizza Hut and local pizza chain Hell Pizza.[6]

In January 2005, Domino's acquired the Australian pizza chain Pizza Haven's 35 New Zealand stores. By that stage, Domino's had 16 stores bases in the North Island; with the acquisition bringing the total number of Domino's-owned stores across New Zealand to 51.[7] Most Pizza Haven stores were given the option of converting to Domino's stores while some stores were able to stay branded under Pizza Haven.[8] All New Zealand-based Pizza Haven stores subsequently converted Domino's.

Domino's New Zealand was the first to introduce drone-delivery pizza in November 2016, partnering with Flirtey Drone Delivery.[9] [10]
