Everyone is aware of the popular American multinational pizza restaurant chain Domino’s which offers a wide variety of pizzas at affordable prices. Domino’s pizzas are also available on various food delivery platforms like Zomato and Swiggy. However, an incident came to light after one of the Swiggy users found out that some of the Domino’s Pizza outlets listed on Swiggy are fake and are not part of the official franchise. An X user recently took to the microblogging platform and shared about fake Domino’s Pizza outlets on Swiggy.
It has been noticed that a search of the pizza brand name Domino’s on the food delivery platform Swiggy displays several options with varying spellings. This has led to controversies online. Taking the issue to X, the social media user shared screenshots showing a number of fake outlets opened in the name of Domino’s across the locality.

Taking the issue to X (formerly Twitter), Ravi Handa raised concerns over this ‘fraud’, of fake outlets across the locality. The post was shared on February 12, where he shared a screenshot, tagging Swiggy with the caption,
“Hey Swiggy, this is clearly a fraud. Only one of these is genuine. Why are you letting this happen? Why isn’t Domino’s objecting to a blatant violation of the trademark?”
