The DXP has a number of special features, including an innovative built-in warming oven, a reconfigured interior that holds up to 80 pizzas, and special compartments to hold side items and sodas. This first-of-its-kind pizza delivery vehicle allows drivers to deliver pizza with more ease and efficiency than ever before.

"The DXP has caught the eye of our customers and franchisee alike," said Weiner. "It's real, it's functionally superior, it's gorgeous and no other brand has anything like it. So when people ask, 'Did Domino's really build a car made just for pizza delivery?' I say, 'Oh yes we did.'"
