Domino’s retreats from Italy having failed to conquer the home of the pizza

After seven years and an ambitious plan to open 880 outlets, the US fast food chain files for bankruptcy

Domino's Pizza has pulled out of the Italian market after failing in its mission to conquer the home of Italian pizza.

The US fast food chain's departure from Italy after seven years followed a period in which the business was badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic, which in turn forced traditional Italian pizzerias to adopt their own delivery services.
