Domino’s Italian stores ended online delivery late last month. Representatives for ePizza did not return Bloomberg’s request for comment. US-based representatives for Domino’s did not immediately return a request for comment. The company had an outstanding debt of $10.8 million as of the end of 2020 and obtained a temporary reprieve from its creditors through an Italian court order in April – but the protection expired on July 1.Ĭurrent Domino’s Pizza CEO Richard Ellison acknowledged the difficulty of breaking into the Italian market in 2015, when he was serving as president of Domino’s international operations. Meanwhile, Domino’s local operations encountered financial trouble during the planned expansion. Domino’s originally entered Italy in 2015.

“We attribute the issue to the significantly increased level of competition in the food delivery market with both organized chains and ‘mom & pop’ restaurants delivering food, to service and restaurants reopening post pandemic and consumers out and about with revenge spending,” ePizza said in an investor report alongside its fourth-quarter results last year, according to Bloomberg. Instead, Domino’s encountered tough competition from Italian pizzerias and restaurants that found success by bolstering their own delivery efforts or striking partnerships with outside food delivery firms. The Michigan-based chain originally planned to open 880 stores in Italy, betting that Italians would embrace its delivery services.
