AUSTRALIA | As anticipation for the upcoming trio of State of Origin games heats up, Domino’s has prepared for an influx of pizza-hungry football fans.
By taking a bite out of pizza data from across Queensland and New South Wales during last year’s State of Origin games, Domino’s has kneaded together an estimate of just how busy Domino’s stores will be.
Of the 323,200 pizzas delivered in total across each game in 2023, more than 31,800 were Pepperoni and 59,500 were BBQ Meatlovers. As for sides, more than 218,800 garlic breads were ordered across both states.
On average, for each game, Domino’s delivered an impressive seven pizzas per second, with Domino’s Delivery Experts travelling a staggering 585km per minute.
To put this into perspective, during Game 1 2023, the first try of the series was scored on the seventh minute. In that time, Domino’s Delivery Experts had already delivered more than 3,100 pizzas and 2,121 garlic breads whilst travelling 4,095km/s since kick-off.
Domino’s ANZ Chief Operating Officer Kerri Hayman said that Domino’s had looked forward to feeding pizza lovers across the country again this year as they cheer on their favourite team.
“Origin nights are the busiest nights on the Domino’s calendar, but this doesn’t mean we won’t be focused on delivering more for our customers,” said Hayman.
“Providing joyful experiences is what Domino’s is all about, and our teams are ready and waiting to deliver freshly made pizzas without dropping the ball on food quality, value or safety.”
With Domino’s teams across the country gearing up to manage their busiest night of the year, the competition isn’t just on the field, it’s in the kitchen too. Domino’s pizza makers have trained harder than ever, perfecting their dough-making techniques and sauce-spreading skills to ensure that every pizza is a winner.
“Just like the players on the field, our team members are passionate about what they do, and they’re committed to giving it their all during the big night,” said Hayman.
“Domino’s is excited to be part of the Origin experience once again, and we look forward to seeing our customers celebrating with a slice of their favourite pizza.”
