World’s largest pizza chain
Domino’s Pizza is an American restaurant chain founded in 1960 in Ypsilanti, Michigan, starting with a single store. It rapidly expanded to become the world’s largest pizza chain by number of stores and revenue, specializing in delivery and carryout. Today, Domino’s operates thousands of company-owned and franchised locations across the U.S. and in more than 80 countries.
The company’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange at $419.63. Its latest financial results for the third quarter of 2025 — ended Sept. 29 and released Oct. 14 — were strong: revenue rose 6.2% to $1.147 billion, exceeding analyst expectations of $1.137 billion.
There are currently no Domino’s Pizza restaurants in Kazakhstan. In 2023, the Domino’s brand in Russia was renamed Domino Pizza and ceased operating under the original brand.
