That's mainly because sales are shooting up across the whole of Europe as more and more people use its app and website to order pizza and avoid speaking on the phone.

"We enter the final quarter of the year with good momentum, are confident of beating our previous expectations for the full year and remain excited about our longer term growth prospects."

Domino's said in its third quarter trading update that group sales rose by 15.6% to £641.2 million (£980 million).

Sales in Britain rose by a huge 17% as revenue through digital channels. It is 35% ahead of Q3 last year and more than 75% of delivered sales in the year to date have been online, with more than half of these placed through the app on android or IOS devices.

It added that while it hasn't spend heaps of cash on offline media, its ongoing sponsorship of popular British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks "enhanced brand saliency and drove revenues."
