Domino’s pulls out of Russia 18 months after Ukraine invasion
The company that oversees the Domino’s Pizza brand in Russia said it will file for bankruptcy there, signaling a definitive end to its operations in that country nearly 18 months after President Vladimir Putin launched an unprovoked invasion of neighboring Ukraine.
DP Eurasia, the franchisee for Domino’s in Europe and Asia, cited unspecified business challenges in Russia, where it operated more than 100 restaurants. The U.S.-based Dominos Pizza has said it cut off financial support for the Russian business in December 2022.
A bankruptcy filing is now forthcoming, the company said.
You're viewing a single thread.
Thank you Dominos for breaking the spirit of the Russian population with your horrible pizzas.
Idk man, I think they're the best fast food pizzas. Better than Pizza Hut or Little Caesars, although Caesars is close
Where does Papa John’s sit in your rankings?
I haven’t had Little Caesar’s in a long time, but Papa John and Domino’s are both pretty solid options, and I like your term calling them “fast food pizza.”

We're talking about pizza here. What relevance does Papa John's have?
I'll be honest, I think I ate papa johns like two decades ago, so I have no idea. They just aren't around me. But yeah if you think about it, they're totally fast food. Cheap and consistent, you know what you're getting. But if you want something GOOD you gotta go with a real, local pizza place.
I like domino's too. They have an ass wrecking buffalo chicken pizza that I can't get enough of
Then you just have garbage tier pizzas.
In Germany they bought up Hallo Pizza, which was so much better, both in quality and what they offered.
Also, all pizzas are fast food...Also, all pizzas are fast food…
No, if you sit down in a pizzeria, order a pizza, wait for it to be freshly made, then that's no fast food.
lol
Do you think they serve frozen pizzas? Pizza is inherently fast food.Let's check Wikipedia's definition:
Fast food is a type of mass-produced food designed for commercial resale, with a strong priority placed on speed of service.
That does not apply to a pizza made on your order in a sit-down pizzeria where you wait just as long as in other kinds of restaurants.
It does, because it's literally the same. A fast food service still rolls out the dough, adds the tomato sauce, cheese and other ingredients and throws it into the oven for a few minutes. The only difference is that a big delivery service that specializes on pizzas is that they prepare much larger quantities beforehand, as they can expect to use much more than a restaurant.
But since you're such a fan of Wikipedia, you might want to read the fast food article proper:
Examples of fast food (left to right, top to bottom): Cheeseburger, soft drink, french fries, pizza margherita, hot dog, fried chicken, submarine sandwich, and donuts.
The UK has adopted fast food from other cultures as well, such as pizza, doner kebab, and curry. More recently, healthier alternatives to conventional fast food have also emerged.
Common menu items at fast food outlets include fish and chips, sandwiches, pitas, hamburgers, fried chicken, french fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets, tacos, pizza, hot dogs, and ice cream, though many fast food restaurants offer "slower" foods like chili, mashed potatoes, and salads.
etc.
The only difference is that a big delivery service that specializes on pizzas is that they prepare much larger quantities beforehand
Which is the critical difference - "with a strong priority placed on speed of service". If you don't prepare it with a focus on speed, and prepare it in a slow way, serve the customer in a more normal slow setting, then it's not "fast food", because there's nothing "fast" about it.
By that definition nothing is fast food.
No food is inherently fast food. Since you're not American, and we invented fast food, the term refers specifically to how fast and convenient it is to get the food.
Go through the drive through in McDonald's and I can get a hamburger in less than three minutes from order to them handing me the bag. But if I order a hamburger from a sit down diner, it will take 30 minutes sometimes.
The hamburger from McDonald's is fast food. The hamburger from the diner is not.
