Dominoes pizza gets the boot from Italy

Set the pizza tracker to “End of An Era,” folks—the last 29 Domino’s branches in Italy have officially closed. Domino’s began operations in pizza’s motherland in 2015, but it was unable to deliver on its plan to eventually open 880 restaurants there. While bringing an American fast-food pizza chain to a country known specifically for its pizza feels a bit like trying to sell graphic Snoopy tees inside a Rag & Bone, the company did have a strategy for the region. Domino’s made an effort to use locally sourced Italian ingredients, and hoped to set itself apart from local competition by offering the then-extremely rare service of home delivery. Sadly, it appears Italians just didn’t care to have their crust stuffed with authentic, beautifully marbled gorgonzola. Also a problem: The pandemic opened up stiff competition in the delivery space, offering locals better, less Domino’s-y pizza at home and leading the company’s Italian franchise partner, ePizza SpA, to file for bankruptcy in April.

How did they ever think that was a good idea to begin with? There's actually good pizza in italy.

Makes me wonder about the success rate of other fastfood chains like McDonalds and such in Italy. Do they all experience shite results or just Domino's?
I don't care enough to look for myself. One of you people should look for me.

I'm sure the locals appreciated them turning fine ingredients into trash food.

It’s time for Olive Garden to move into Italy. This is their opening.

Rag & Bone is a higher end clothing store. Snoopy is a fictional cartoon and comic strip character. “Tees” is slang for t-shirts.
A shirt from rag and bone would fetch (see what I did there?) a higher price than a t-shirt depicting snoopy on it.
And I assume “bone” and “snoopy” is how the author made the connection between the two because said author wants to have sexual relations with a fictitious dog.
