Japan
When we opened our first store in Japan in 1985, there was not a word in the Japanese language for pepperoni. Now pepperoni is one of the most embraced toppings in Japan. Buildings in Japan are not numbered sequentially. Addresses are numbered by the order in which buildings were built. This makes for interesting delivery and training of our drivers
India
Domino's has respected the Hindu reverence for the cow by omitting pepperoni, the beef based topping and replacing it with spicy chicken sausage.
