Domino's has added a Parmesan Stuffed Crust option to its existing $9.99 Best Deal Ever promotion and also launched its first in-app game called Soccer Shootout.
Domino's Best Deal Ever initiative allows customers to order any pizza with any crust and any toppings at that single price point through July 26th. The Soccer Shootout game, which is exclusively available to Domino's Rewards members, invites players to launch virtual toppings at a moving pizza target to earn bonus loyalty points and discounts on future orders. This playfully interactive in-app game feature is available to Domino's Rewards members until July 19th.
Domino's timing for these activations aligns with the FIFA World Cup and gives those who are hosting game-day watch parties the opportunity to get premium pizza at a more affordable price.
