Domino's adds ovens to special delivery vehicles

Not wanting to risk delivering cold pizza ever again, Domino's has designed a car with a built-in oven behind the driver's seat.

It took more than three years to develop the Delivery Expert, or DXP. It's based on the 2015 Chevrolet Spark, and was configured so there's just room for the driver and up to 80 pizzas and side items, the Los Angeles Times reports. The design for the vehicle came from a crowdsourcing competition, which received 385 submissions. Over the next three months, 25 markets, including San Diego and Seattle, will get the cars (don't be surprised if your pizza comes in an oven-less car, though: Domino's USA President Russell Weiner said most pizzas will still be delivered in a driver's personal vehicle). Every year, the company delivers 400 million pizzas in the United States, and Weiner says the DXP will "revolutionize" the system.
