Domino's Pizza posts surprise fall in U.S. same-store sales as inflation bites
The world's largest pizza chain's same-store sales in the U.S. fell 0.5%, compared with analysts' average estimate of a 0.5% rise, according to data compiled by LSEG. President Donald Trump's erratic trade policy has fanned fears of a recession in the United States, affecting demand for discretionary items, as well as dining out. Domino's Pizza's newly launched parmesan-stuffed crust pizza and promotional "boost weeks", offering 50% off on all online orders, helped drive some demand, analysts have said.
