From the New Year's Eve parties to New Year's Day football, pizza is on the menu for households across the country this holiday weekend and Domino's is ready to deliver. Whether your 2008 New Year's celebration calls for watching the ball drop or sitting on the couch and rooting for your favorite football team, Domino's Pizza is the perfect meal solution.
New Year's Eve is typically a busy time for pizza sales. This year on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, Domino's expects to sell approximately 2.3 million pizzas in the U.S. alone. To prepare for the rush, stores across the country are doubling their staffs and ordering more dough, cheese and sauce to prepare for the surge of anticipated orders.
"New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are dates we circle on our calendars as two of the top five busiest pizza days we prepare for every year," said David A. Brandon, Domino's Pizza Chairman and CEO. "These holidays are all about parties, family gatherings, watching college football bowl games on television, and enjoying Domino's Pizza!"
