In Italy, Starbucks stores are also closing, American plastic is not liked in Italy.

That’s like opening up a chain of Panda Express in China

Italians felt an insult at Domino's releasing a fast food of their own native cuisine. Can't expect success there

[dellmedia]

Domino's has stores in Italy??? That sounds ridiculous.

[Drganguli]

Who told them to start pizza stores in Italy? Seems like hubris to me.

[frafrafrafrafra]

Americans really thought that their plastic pizza would have taken over Italy.
You can't beat the original.

Domino should try to sell Pita Gyros and Kalamaris in Greece, that would be the same as selling pizza's in Italy.

Delicious and simple pizza napolitano will never be ousted by something like Dominos in the land of the best pizza on the planet. To be honest, good pizza in Italy was a bit of a revelation for me. American chain pizzas typically don’t hold up. It’s like opening a Fazolis next to 500 year old trattoria in Florence. It would be a complete fail because it just can’t compete with the real deal.

I mean, you can find amazing pizzas anywhere in Italy, why would they go to Domino's?

[stefanodepino]

Now they decided to sell ice in Siberia

[mfmf]

This is like when YUM tried to open Taco Bell in Mexico. Starbucks is having a run at Italy too, let’s see how it goes

I needed this chuckle… astonished @ the number of stores.

[Nyhiak]

They actually sold that crap in Italy?

[Telluwide]

Domino's can try to imitate Italian pizza all they like, but none are cooked in traditional wood fired ovens....

[Marcustzb]

Cause: Putting Pineapples into the Pizza Topping which is the most proibito thing to do

[joehenry]

There’s so much salt in Dominos pizza. Given the choice of fresh pizza Vs Dominos, this is not a surprise.

[deltaware]

I didn't know what domino was until they talked about it on the news here in Italy

[petera]

I had no idea that they had Domino's Pizza in Italy. Probably in major cities in the north, I'm guessing. Most of my time is spent in Sicily visiting my relatives and I never saw one in Palermo and nonbody ever mentioning it. I can't imagine one in Sicily with their amazing ingredients and wood burning ovens. It doesn't surprise me it closed down.

[FlareZero]

Well, it is normal for Dominos to fail here in Italy, it's pizza is crap compared to ours, and even starbuck is losing, his coffee it sucks, bad move Americans to try to sold what we have invented.
