Statistics Show Scots Are A Nation Of Domino’s Pizza Lovers – Average Of One Domino’s Pizza Per Head Of Population Sold in 2010

As Domino's Pizza celebrates 15 years in Scotland this month, new statistics prove we are indeed a nation of pizza lovers; with Domino’s Pizza selling one pizza per head of population in 2010.

With 47 stores across the country and over 1,100 staff, Domino’s Pizza has made great strides in Scotland as the population has munched its way through new pizzas such as the Domino’s Gourmet range and recently introduced Stuffed Crust, limited edition favourites including the Reggae Reggae made with Levi Roots’ famous sauce and the Haggis pizza (specially introduced for Burns Night), as well as firm favourites including Pepperoni Passion and Texas BBQ.

Pizzas from Domino’s stores across the country have been delivered to golf courses, gyms, patients in hospitals and paramedics and firefighters…even on stage to Strictly Come Dancing winner Harry Judd and fellow bandmates during a McFly concert in Edinburgh.

Chris Forrester, Domino’s franchisee who opened the first store in Great Western Road in December 1996, explains the success of the UK’s number one pizza delivery service in Scotland: “Since we launched to our customers in the West End of Glasgow late December 1996, Domino’s Pizza has become a firm favourite for students, couples, groups of friends and families. We’ve seen a massive increase in the home delivery market in 15 years, and as customers become more discerning, they’ve increasingly come to Domino’s Pizza to deliver a piping hot, freshly made treat.”

Join a nation of pizza lovers by ordering online at www.dominos.co.uk or using Domino’s iPad, iPhone and Android ordering apps.

The Stone Bake Oven Company Dish Up FREE Wood Fired Food Recipes

As the wood fired cooking trend gathers momentum in the UK, some wonder if it’s a trend that is set to stay. The growing interest in wood fired cooking has seen The Stone Bake Oven Company, manufacturers of wood fired pizza ovens, dish out all the guidance you could need to make an informed decision when deciding whether or not to purchase your own wood fired oven.

Once being a ‘specialist’ method of cooking, reserved for Italian families and pizzeria restaurants, the wood fired oven industry experienced the ‘celeb effect’, with many celebrities purchasing wood fired ovens for themselves. This was mostly due to the authentic cooking flavours only a wood fired oven could achieve, and partially related to the excessive price-tag and prestige associated with such ovens, making them a ‘must have’ in the celebrity realms.

What subsequently followed was a new found interest in these wood burning products by the public, and so as the demand grew, the Stone Bake Oven Company catered to it with a range of high quality yet affordable wood fired ovens for the home and garden.

So is this new market trend a fad on its way through the market? Or is it set to stay?

Unlike other craze products to have come to market, which seem like a great idea at the time (cue yogurt makers, for example?) and ends up gathering dust in your home or kitchen, or cobwebs in the garden, a wood fired oven revives the oldest and most traditional method of cooking there could ever be, cooking on an open fire.

After all, cooking in this way dates right back to beginning of civilisation! So I suppose wood fired cooking isn’t a fad at all, it just seems to have been revitalised with some good TV promotion and some guidance and re-invention by companies such as the Stone Bake Oven Company.

If you’ve ever tried authentic wood fired food yourself, it seems you’ll know what the fuss is about, with the ability to roast, grill, bake and sear a wood fired oven can cook virtually anything, as well as original Neapolitan pizza in less than 90 seconds.

For everything you need to know about wood fired cooking, including some tasty FREE recipes, The Stone Bake oven Company have taken wood fired ovens from a ‘must have’ to a CAN have, with a range of affordable indoor and outdoor pizza ovens.

“It's What We Do” says Domino's Pizza

Domino’s Pizza is launching a branding campaign to point up the passion behind each and every pizza that it delivers.

The campaign focuses on what it describes as its “key areas” like only ever using high quality ingredients, the fact that all pizzas are freshly made for each order and that it delivers to a vast range of locations no matter what the weather.

As mentioned in the title of this article this new campaign features the newly created end line ‘It’s what we do’ which was developed by Domino’s long-standing creative agency, Big Communications, with with Arena Media.

Domino’s new brand campaign launched on last weekend with 30 and 40 second TV ads appearing at half-time during the England v Switzerland Euro 2012 qualifier and the Britain’s Got Talent final.

The ad was been directed by Stuart Rideout of Ridley Scott Associates, with the voice of famous modern performance poet John Cooper Clarke and featuring the music track ‘Hunger’ by upcoming Sunderland band, Frankie and the Heartstrings.

Said Simon Wallis, who has the enviable task of sales and marketing director for Domino’s Pizza: “Domino’s has been in the UK for over 25 years and while our marketing activity in the past has helped raise awareness and promote specific pizzas and offers, we wanted to use this campaign to remind consumers what we stand for.

“Domino’s has an extraordinary commitment to quality, service and hospitality and our aim is to deliver the ultimately convenient, feel good food. We wanted to highlight some of Domino’s core values that make us different from other pizza companies and to show we’ll always go the extra mile to deliver more for our customers – it’s what we do.”

The first TV ads will air on Saturday on ITV1, followed by further digital activity and press ads. For more information on Domino’s, visit www.dominos.co.uk.
