Local pizza lover chosen as finalist in national competition to win £10,000

Local pizza lover, Emma Johnston from Glasgow, has been chosen as a finalist in a national competition run by Domino’s Pizza. Emma now stands a chance of winning £10,000 for her entry in Domino’s competition to find the next official Britain’s Got Talent pizza as part of the company’s sponsorship of the top TV show.

Emma’s Mexican Sizzler pizza was chosen from over 38,000 entries. Her pizza caught the judge’s eye with its spicy combination of chicken fajita slices, crunchy tortillas, green peppers, red peppers and jalapenos on Domino’s classic base with vine-ripened tomato sauce and 100% real mozzarella cheese. The Mexican Sizzler is now up for the public vote at www.dominos.co.uk/vote, battling against a British Breakfast from Newhaven and an Asian Feast from Gateshead. Not only will the winner scoop £10,000 – their pizza will also be sold in Domino’s stores nationwide as the 2010 official Britain’s Got Talent pizza.
Emma Johnston said: “It was such a surprise to find out my entry had been chosen as a finalist. I’m a massive Domino’s fan so I’m really proud to have my idea in the final three. Winning £10,000 would be fantastic – I’m a student at the moment and having to work five days a week to pay for my studies so the prize money would be a great help towards this. It would also be the ultimate accolade for a pizza lover such as me to have my pizza sold in Domino’s stores across the country. I’m really hoping the people of Glasgow get behind me to vote for the Mexican Sizzler so we can claim this title for the Scotland!”

To celebrate this milestone anniversary, Domino’s has launched three new initiatives – the Pizza Tracker, an iPhone ordering app and a promotional offer giving customers a 50% discount on all orders over £30, excluding drinks and ice-creams.

The Pizza Tracker has been available in the US since January 2008 and will allow web customers in the UK and Republic of Ireland to see exactly where their pizza is at any time prior to delivery. Customers using the tracker can see a changing display that shows when the order has arrived at the store, when it is in the oven, when it is ready for collection or on the road and when it’s been safely delivered and the driver is back in the store. The tracker takes the angst out of those customers who have to know that their order has been received, cooked and dispatched.

The new iPhone app is accessed via the usual www.dominos.co.uk or www.dominos.ie and offers a quick and easy way for iPhone users to get their favourite pizzas. It has all the functionality of Domino’s traditional online ordering, including meal deals, and as it is a weblink it come free rather than as a paid for download.

Finally, to celebrate ten years of online ordering in the UK, Domino’s will be offering all UK web customers a 50% discount on all pizzas, side orders and Domino’s desserts over £30 from Monday October 26 to Sunday November 1.

Sales and marketing director Robin Auld said: “Yet again, we are leading the way for technophiles with the Pizza Tracker. Having had online ordering for some 10 years now, we need to offer something new and exciting for our web customers – and the Pizza Tracker is a the ultimate toy for web-based control freaks! At the click of a mouse you can see exactly how near to delivery your pizza is.

“Combined with the new iPhone app and the 50% online discount offer, there is no better time to be ordering a Domino’s pizza through the web than the week of October 26, 2009. If you haven’t already got a high speed PC and wireless broadband – you should be investing today!”

The four month deal sees the leading pizza delivery company sponsoring all live NFL matches, which will be shown weekly on Sky, culminating in
the Super Bowl in February 2010.

The National Football League is the largest professional <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_football>  American football
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football>  league <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_league>  in the world, with 20
teams from across the USA battling it out to become crowned NFL Champions.

Robin Auld, sales and marketing director of Domino’s Pizza, said: “We’re always looking for good pizza eating occasions – and pizza and NFL are a
natural combination.”

The deal was negotiated by BLM and the creative – featuring pizza boxes to illustrate sporting references – was developed by Leicester-based
agency BIG.

Mr Zilinskas with his fiance

Giedrius Zilinskas, Manager of Domino’s Pizza in Rathmines, Ireland, has scooped the highly prestigious title of Domino’s International Store Manager of the Year, out of over 4,000 people across 63 countries. Giedrius was presented the coveted award at a special ceremony in Las Vegas for his determination, exceptional performance and for the high standards of food safety, quality and service that he achieves in his store on a daily basis.

Giedrius’s store in Rathmines achieved a 98% average on the Domino’s Pizza Group’s vigorous audits, which are done four times a year. Giedrius also took it upon himself to deliver free pizzas to the homeless during the Christmas season in 2008 for the second consecutive year.

Giedrius delivered a moving acceptance speech at the ceremony in Las Vegas, explaining how he had come to Ireland in 2005 from Lithuania and how daunting his first day at Domino’s was when he realised he had so much to learn.

Giedrius started as a Trainee Manager of the Dundrum store and worked his way up to Deputy Manager there. He was then promoted to Store Manager at the Walkinstown store which he launched in 2006. In 2007 Giedrius was promoted to Store Manager of the Rathmines store, where he works today.

General Manager, Fergus McDonnell, said:  “I recall interviewing Giedrius in 2005; he came across as an ambitious and extremely driven young man. He has proven that hard work, integrity and commitment to excellence always pays off.  I am sure that as great as this achievement is, receiving the award will be seen as a milestone in what will be a very successful career.”

When Giedrius accepted his award in Las Vegas, he proposed to his long term girlfriend Dovile Bumbulyte, who travelled to Ireland with him in 2005 and has supported his career over the years. The couple are both overjoyed with the award, the engagement and their plans for the future.

The Chicken Tikka adds to the range of pizzas for the spicier customer and joins popular favourites such as the Sizzler, Tandori Hot and Piri Piri Pizzas. This pizza should add to the existing highly varied choice available for all pizza lovers, including meat-heavy pizzas the Meateor or American, fish-focussed pizza Calypso or vegetable-only Vegetarian Supreme or Veg Lite.
