Domino's has launched a custom-built pizza delivery vehicle called the Domino's DXP (for Delivery Expert) that includes a warming oven to keep your pizza hot during delivery.

The oven is accessible from the outside of the vehicle for easy access during delivery and can be opened with a touch of the driver's key fob. It heats up to 140 degrees.

Besides being covered in Domino's logos and colors, all but the driver's seat has been removed to create extra room for holding pizzas and storage areas for other menu items. The car can hold up to 80 pizzas, which is ideal for large orders.

The concept was originally conceived in an online crowdsourced design competition called the Domino's Ultimate Delivery Vehicle Challenge. The production vehicle ended up being an economical Chevrolet Spark customized by Roush Enterprises, an engineering company.

Before, you imagine a fleet of these across the nation, the company only plans to roll-out 100 DXPs to 25 markets across the U.S., including Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, New Orleans, San Diego, and Seattle. Most Domino's deliveries will still be made by the personal cars of their drivers.

They should roll that thing slowly through the dorms and frat areas of every major college on Firday and Saturday nights. Put some speakers on the outside and blare the ice cream truck jingle.

Is it normal for pizza places to have their own cars? Everywhere around here the driver just puts the car hat on their own vehicle.

That's not a bad idea at all, swarm neighborhoods during superbowl with these things and make a killing.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

I would absolutely pay extra to support a company moving away from requiring low wage delivery drivers to also have to use and maintain their own cars to do their jobs. That's always seemed like the grossest part of delivery food. If the pizza is fresher because of it then all the better.

I wonder if the red and blue Domino flashes. Probably not, due to legal reasons, but still. I can't imagine it being too comfy in there.

 

[ponpo]

Think every chain in Japan has these on their delivery scooters.

Step up, senpai.

 

[SapientWolf]

KFC should follow up with a bike with a fryer on the back. There's no way that can backfire.

 

[Mr.Mike]

Good that they'll be providing cars instead of having drivers use their own.

But inside is mayonnaise on the pizzas.

 

[CygnusXS]

I was expecting a drone with an oven inside.

 

[tensuke]

If they don't deliver in 30 minutes Uncle Enzo gonna be pissed.

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

The future is fucking radical.

I once ordered a Pizza with everything in Japan by mistake. I didn't know that included mayo. I was not prepared.

 

[ponpo]

No counter to this

[Fusebox]

Still tastes like Dominos though.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So even better than.

Also, the Japanese version of this would have Miku plastered all over the car exterior.

They don't have a Dominoes mascot? Domi-chan or something?

But can it launch a pound of bacon into the asteroid belt?

Dominos and Miku have a storied past.

Jesus that was the most awkward ad I've ever seen

 

[BlastProcessing]

If this ushers in a brave new world where delivery drivers don't have to drive their own cars, I am all for it.

[dity]

I want one of these just to drive. I won't be warming pizzas, I'll just drive it around.

No and no one is going to buy this POS for their franchise. There is literally no upside to it for owners.

 

[KimiNewt]

What? All the pizza places here just have scooters/motorcycles for deliveries. That way they don't get stuck in traffic all the time.
Obviously the store's own and not the delivery person's.

Was reading this thread hoping someone else would pick up the obvious reference.

And each pizza is so expensive that only the five richest kings in Europe can buy one.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Why has it taken so long? Same as why heated bags been a thing or at least they weren't the last time I had a pizza delivered which was back in early 2002.


Now I want pizza.

If that thing can hold 80 pizzas. I think they are just going to load this thing up at 11AM with 80 of the most popular pizzas and have this guy roam around the area like an ambulance.

Then again I'm pretty sure these would be prime targets to be car jacked. 80 pizzas.

 

[Rich!]

Ehhh I live next to a dominos

Still rarely order it but still

I'm imagining what that would do to the pizza crust.

UGH.

 

[zoku88]

idk, mayo on pizza was surprisingly not too bad when I had it.

Dominos and Miku have a storied past.

God, I love this commercial so much.

 

[Kozak]

Never really had an issue with my pizzas not coming warm. That bag thing they have usually keeps it hot.

This sounds like it had larger orders in mind.

Holy shit this is the most amazing Idea I've ever seen. Screw the car, I just want every delivery man to come rolling down the driveway with this scooter.

Entered hoping for something that would live up to the Deliverator. Leaving very, very disappointed.

That sounds absolutely delicious. I drown everything in mayo.

 

[cntr]

[dork]
