Throughout its early history, the chain offered free pizza to customers who did not get their order in 30 minutes. The offer was changed to a $3 discount in the late 1980s, then abandoned in the 1990s. They ended this campaign after numerous delivery drivers were driving recklessly in order to make the time limit, and several high profile incidents of injuries to pedestrians and other drivers occurred.

Domino's offers online ordering via the Web and digital television throughout the United Kingdom. Telephone orders are made locally, but online orders go to headquarters and are faxed to the local branch, hence online orders take longer than telephone orders. Orders can be placed over the Web in selected areas of the United States.
