The combination of Domino’s’ pizza and Coca Cola remains a long-term favorite among customers. Keeping this in mind, the second-largest pizza chain in the U.S., Domino's Pizza, Inc. (DPZ) has signed a new multi-year deal with cola giant The Coca Cola Company (KO).
Per the agreement, Coca Cola will continue to be the exclusive beverage supplier for all of Domino's 4,932 restaurants across the U.S. The popular beverages supplied will include Coca-Cola and Sprite.
