Domino's Pizza Group, the UK's largest pizza delivery chain, has reported continued trading momentum in its third quarter, keeping it on track to meet full-year earnings expectations.
Total system sales rose 3.5% in the three months to 30 September 2026, with like-for-like sales up 2.3% and total orders growing 2.6%.
Like-for-like orders increased 1.4% in the quarter, a slowdown from the 1.6% recorded in the first half but still positive across all three months.
Year-to-date like-for-like sales stand at 4.0%, with orders up 1.5%, reflecting a strong start to the year that included a World Cup boost in July.
Growth was driven by the core pizza range and CHICK 'N' DIP, the group's chicken product, which continues to perform in line with management expectations with strong customer advocacy.
The Italianos pizza range also delivered continued strong sales through the period.
Domino's said all major cost categories are fixed for the current financial year and into 2027, providing clear visibility over its cost base.
The board said that, combined with its strategic growth initiatives, this gives it confidence in delivering earnings growth in 2027 and beyond.
Chief executive Nicola Frampton said the year-to-date performance reflected the group's organic growth strategy and its focus on the core Domino's business model.
"The proof points of our innovation in Italianos and CHICK 'N' DIP, combined with our fantastic brand, quality franchisee partners and leading supply chain have enabled us to attract more customers, more often," she said.
Frampton added that, while significant work remains, the group is confident of meeting its full-year expectations while building foundations for further growth in 2027 and beyond.
