Domino’s delivered growth in sales and order volumes in the first quarter of 2026 as it remained “firmly focused on growing the core business”.
The pizza giant’s total system sales increased by 5.8%, including like-for-like growth of 4.5%, while total orders rose by 2.3%, with like-for-like orders up 0.9%.
Domino’s CEO Nicola Frampton said the business “carried the positive momentum seen at the end of 2025 into 2026”, following total sales growth of 1.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025.
It came as Domino’s expanded its Chick ‘N’ Dip chicken brand to all stores in the UK and Republic of Ireland in February.
The business said initial trading performance for the chicken concept, which includes Tenders, Wings, Boneless Bites and nine new globally inspired dips, met expectations with “positive feedback” from customers.
Domino’s said its costs were hedged for the current financial year with some costs hedged into 2027, despite the “macroeconomic backdrop”. It added that it does not foresee any supply-related issues.
The business also remains confident in achieving adjusted EBITDA in line with market expectations, which was previously stated as £137m to £142m.
“We are pleased with the early performance of Chick ‘n’ Dip, and excited for our Italianos range which has recently launched and is built on a thin-crust pizza collection with delicious new toppings, further strengthening our core pizza offer,” said Frampton.
“As we move through 2026, we remain firmly focused on growing the core business and improving our operational execution for current and future years.”
