Fresh, hot pizza delivered to your doorstep is a treat nobody can resist. There are so many pizza delivery joints in major Indian cities that we never truly run out of options. Previously, popular pizza chains like Domino's would promise their customers, "30 minutes delivery or pizza is free!" And now, the pizza chain has taken it a step higher. In a recent announcement, Domino's India has announced a reduced time of just 20 minutes to deliver hot and fresh pizzas to your neighbourhood. Believe it or not, the Indian market is the largest and Domino's aims to expand it even further. "India is the largest market outside of the US in the global Domino's network," said Russell Weiner, CEO of Domino's.

The 20-minute delivery has been introduced in 20 zones across 14 cities in India. The press release does not mention which cities are included in this list, but metropolitan cities like Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai and Mumbai are likely to be included. This news comes after grocery delivery applications like Swiggy Instamart, Zepto and Blinkit are promising a 10-minute delivery time for essential items.
Domino's is taking a number of steps to reduce the delivery time, such as technology upgradation, improved operational efficiencies and expanding the number of stores in the cities. "These steps help the brand optimize the overall timing of the entire process, ensuring the delivery of hotter, fresher and tastier pizza in 20 minutes without compromising the food quality and the safety & well-being of its delivery riders," read a statement by Domino's India. "In our endeavour to raise our service levels, we are clear that we will do so without compromising our riders' safety," said Sameer Khetarpal, CEO of Jubilant Foodworks.
