Domino's Pizza UK & IRL PLC
09 January 2007





                                                                  9 January 2007

                          Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc
        Announcement of Trading Update & Announcement of Board Promotion

Domino's Pizza UK & IRL plc ('Domino's Pizza' or 'the Company' or 'the Group')
today announces total like-for-like sales growth of 9.7% for the 52 weeks ended
31 December 2006 (2005: 7.1%). Like-for-like sales for the six weeks to 31
December 2006 increased by 13.1% (2005: 3.6%), bringing the year to another
strong close.

The Christmas period was supported by another successful product launch for
Domino's Pizza. The 'MeltDown', its spiciest pizza available, gave the Group a
strong news platform from which to communicate with new and existing customers.
The campaign served to drive sales across the menu.

The Company's e-commerce platform continues to be its fastest-growing channel to
market and attracted record numbers of new customers as well as delivering an
average ticket value that is typically 25% higher than orders placed by phone.
E-commerce sales grew by 43.8% in 2006 and reached sales of £20.1 million (2005:
£13.9 million) for Domino's in the UK.

The Company continued to deliver against its expansion programme with the
opening of 46 new stores (2005: 50). During the year two stores were closed
(2005: nil), bringing the year-end store count to 451.

The Company is also pleased to announce the promotion of Chris Moore from Chief
Operating Officer to Deputy Chief Executive with immediate effect. Chris
recently assumed board-level responsibility for the company's three commissaries
and this promotion reflects his extended remit.


Stephen Hemsley, Chief Executive, commented,

'Another year of strong like-for-like sales growth is attributable to our
ongoing efforts to develop fresh and appealing menu options, maintain high
standards in our stores and take great care of our customers. The MeltDown
launch at the end of the year, in particular demonstrated that taking a fresh
approach to new product development and multi channel marketing continues to
strengthen our leadership of the home delivery pizza market.

'Although we did not achieve our goal of 50 new stores in 2006, we were
encouraged by the accelerated openings of 25 in the second half of the year and
adding 46 stores remains very good progress. I am particularly pleased that
these new stores have opened with higher sales than in previous years,
reflecting the additional operations and marketing support that we have provided
to franchisees at launch. Securing sufficient A5 property of the right quality
and location remains a challenge but one we are determined to rise to in 2007.

'The Board is delighted to further recognise Chris's major contribution to the
business with this promotion. It reflects the outstanding improvements he has
driven across the business, particularly in the areas of marketing and
operations. I am confident that in addition he will do a tremendous job of
directing the three commissaries which together constitute one of our most
important income streams.

'The Board is confident that your Company will deliver full year 2006 profits
ahead of current expectations and will update the market further on 20 February
2007 with the publication of the Company's preliminary results for the year
ended 31 December 2006.'
