A DOMINO’S customer has slammed the company after they reportedly refused to deliver to his neighborhood.
Christian Miller, a Providence, Rhode Island resident, said that he was denied the pizza delivery because of his address.

“She said it was because it was unsafe and referenced an incident that occurred with a driver,” Miller told NBC affiliate WJAR.
Miller said he called the store again the next day at around the same time, 10 pm, and got the same answer.
He believes Domino’s made it a rule not deliver to to his street for safety reasons.
However, Miller believed this was harmful to those who lived in the area.
“I think living in that mindset and allowing it to dictate how we see people, how we see them in their communities, how we define them, is unfair, it’s demoralizing and it’s not justifiable,” said Miller.
The owner of Pizzeria Gusto, a rival pizza shop, said that while he does deliver to the Miller’s neighborhood, his employees have to take precautions.
“We don’t have a delivery sign on my car to target, like, ‘Oh, this is the delivery guy,'” said the owner.
The shop owner also said that his employees don’t wear uniforms.
“I think they should deliver, if not they can call Pizzeria Gusto,” he said.
After the ordeal, Miller attempted to reach out to Domino’s headquarters but said he had gotten no response.
“When we allow multibillion-dollar companies to do this, we are allowing them to set a precedence,” he said.
“This is prevention for race-baiting.”
When WJAR called the Domino’s location, a manager hung up the phone, the news station reported.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Domino’s for comment.
ANOTHER DOMINO’S CONTROVERSY
Domino’s came under fire recently after a video filmed in the Amagasaki branch in the Hyogo prefecture, Japan showed a staffer picking his nose and wiping it on the pizza dough.
In the background of the video, a person could be heard laughing during the ordeal.
After the footage began to circulate, Domino’s Japan closed the branch and apologized for the “inappropriate conduct,” on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“We deeply apologize for making our valued customers uncomfortable,” Domino’s said.
The pizza place told customers that the person in the video would face repercussions under employment regulation, as well as potential legal action.
The nose-picking happened while the dough was being prepared for a 24-hour fermentation process, and was disposed of before it could be served to customers.
In their apology, Domino’s Pizza promised that “something like this never happens again.”
