ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, has opened its first store in Poland, with the promise of hot, delicious pizza for the residents of Warsaw. The new store is located in the Mokotow district of Warsaw, which is an area with a high density of apartments and a vibrant business district.

DP Polska SA is the Master Franchisee for Poland and is wholly owned by DP Poland plc, a publicly traded entity on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. The company's management has extensive experience in consumer brands, retailing, marketing and finance. Their broad business experience makes them well-positioned to develop Domino's into a leading brand in Poland.

"This first store is world-class and the quality of the pizzas is outstanding," said Peter Shaw, chief executive of DP Poland. "We have now taken our first step in realizing our vision to transform the pizza delivery market in Poland, Europe's sixth largest economy. I would like to pay tribute to the incredible energy and professionalism of our team that has made this first store open on time and on budget."

Domino's Pizza now operates in 70 markets worldwide, with nearly half of its global retail sales coming from international stores, generating roughly a third of its operating income.
