ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), the recognized world leader in pizza delivery, is ranked in the Top 10 for the eighth time in Entrepreneur magazine's annual listing of great franchise opportunities. Domino's Pizza rose to sixth place from 11th in 2006.

As part of Entrepreneur magazine's annual Franchise 500(R) list, Domino's Pizza is rated the best franchise opportunity in the pizza category -- a spot the delivery leader has held each year since 2004.

Domino's Pizza is also ranked third on Entrepreneur's list of America's Top Global Franchises, up from 12th in 2006.

"Domino's Pizza has always been about delivering more than great pizza," said Jim Stansik, Domino's executive vice president for franchise development. "Since the beginning, we've also been about delivering the American Dream of business ownership to thousands of hard working, dedicated entrepreneurs.

"In the U.S. alone, Domino's Pizza boasts more than 1,350 independent franchisees," Stansik continued. "The typical Domino's franchisee owns three stores, but more than half of them own and operate single units, primarily in the communities in which they live. While we are a well-known global brand, we provide tremendous local ownership opportunities. We see opportunity everywhere we look, from small towns to thriving urban centers. We're constantly on the look-out for diverse men and women with the entrepreneurial spirit that embodies Domino's Pizza."
