The Japanese arm of Domino's Pizza was taking public relations to new heights Thursday with plans to build the first pizzeria on the moon, The (London) Daily Telegraph reported.
The stunt follows rival chain Pizza Hut's mission to the International Space Station in 2001, when a pizza was delivered to astronauts orbiting the earth.
"We started thinking about this project last year, although we have not yet determined when the restaurant might open," spokesman Tomohide Matsunaga told the newspaper.
Domino's said the Maeda construction company had begun drawing up plans for a two-story, dome-shaped lunar eatery. It added that the eatery's staff would live on-site at the 28-yard-wide (26-meter-wide) building.

I assume they will have delivery service. Don’t they have a policy if it is not to you in 30 minutes it’s free?
I wonder if they will use green cheese.

I hope so the daily commute would a real !!!!!!!!!
They might find business is slow for a while
They can make their pizza crust from the moon’s crust. Should save a lot of money with no reduction in taste or quality.
“two-story”
Why? Is land expensive there?
I have the feeling it’s not going to be too hard to keep the restaurant’s dine-in area clean unless the decide to build a space elevator too.
What they should do is build a pizza parlor on a hover craft and move it around as a PR stunt. They could land in any big parking lot, fill it up with patrons and then hover around the area while the people munched on their pizzas. Lather rinse repeat.
>>I assume they will have delivery service. Don’t they have a policy if it is not to you in 30 minutes it’s free?
That policy died a long time ago - no company wants to tell its employees to break traffic laws because of slow deliveries.
Do they deliver to the L-5 colonies and the Belts?
On a side note - a large Dominoes pizza costs about $40 in American dollars.
I remember ordering pizza in Japan and saying DAMN this is expensive. I did however like the squid and eggplant pizza.
The pizzas will be just like the ones on Earth, except 1/6th the calories.
Even better is IHOP on Uranus.
Denver International Airport actually has two Domino’s. One to serve the airport, and one to serve the subterranean city under the airport.
The idea of transporting pizzas from the moon to the earth would be incredable! On the surface, they would be manufactured by request from customers who would place their order on Earth.
Automated pizza making robots would assemble and package the raw pizzas to order. Finished pizzas would be frozen by taking advantage of the cold of the moon. No need for refrigeration.
The transport vehicle would be designed to perfectly cook the pizzas upon reentry through the friction of air on the vehicle’s outer surface.
On the ground, pizza delivery trucks would load from the transport vehicle all the night’s perfectly cooked pizzas and transport them to your door.
A crew of workers on the moon would maintain the machinery and load pizza making supplies from Earth into the automated system.

I used to like “Domno’s” but when they added the flavoring to the crust they lost me as a customer.
Lucky for me a new “non-chain” Pizza place opened up near me. It sells the “Neapolitan” and “Sicillian” style pizzas.
I was not aware that there were traffic laws from the moon to earth. Where’s my pizza???
