Local Domino's store manager swaps roles with Peterhead fishermen
Local Domino's Store Manager, Denver Estrocio, who is at the helm of the first ever Domino's store to open in Peterhead, is swapping pizzas for fish, as he swaps roles with local fishermen, Jamie Lee and Kyle Watt for the day.

The job swap aims to highlight both the work of the fishing community in Peterhead and Domino's mission to be a good neighbour in the communities it serves. The store, which opened at the end of May, announced a partnership with The Fishermen's Mission to raise much needed funds for the charity by giving a donation from opening week sales. Together, they raised £2,000 during the first week. As part of the job swap, Denver Estrocio started his day in a very different way to his norm of managing Domino's Peterhead – washing down the market floor and helping move pallets for the fish to be unloaded, before being taken onto a fishing boat - The Faithful – ready to unload after two weeks at sea.

It's an early start and it's physical, but it's absolutely vital to the town and people in the community. It's been a privilege to step into Kyle and Jamie's boots for the day.' Domino's Peterhead Store Manager, Denver Estrocio ready for action As part of the second job swap, local fishermen, Jamie and Kyle had a go at making the perfect Domino's pizza from scratch, whilst also meeting the in-store team. Both wearing Domino's uniform, they were shown how to stretch and roll the dough by Denver, before adding sauce and toppings to be sent into the pizza oven. Kyle and Jamie both work as fishermen on the Guiding Light - a vessel catching white fish for the market, that can be out at sea for weeks at a time. Kyle said: 'I never thought I'd be making pizza in a Domino's kitchen, but it's been brilliant. It's great to see the effort and precision that goes into every order and the team's energy is infectious. Swapping jobs has been eye-opening - we might work in very different environments, but both jobs are fast-paced and all about working as a team. The fishing community is so important to everyone in Peterhead, so it's been nice to be able to show the Domino's team what the town is all about.'

Pizza chain you've never heard of that's ‘miles better' than Domino's to open four new sites across UK
The owners founded the chain after returning from a 'pizza pilgrimage' in Italy PIZZA THAT Pizza chain you've never heard of that's 'miles better' than Domino's to open four new sites across UK A LITTLE-KNOWN pizza chain is quietly expanding - with four new locations set to open across the UK. Pizza Pilgrims, founded in 2012 by brothers James and Thom Elliot, is fast approaching 29 sites nationwide. Advertisement 3 Pizza Pilgrims will soon have 29 sites Credit: Instagram/@pizzapilgrims 3 New pizzerias are set to open in Birmingham and Bristol, plus two more in Manchester Credit: Squaremeal Already well-established in King's Cross, London, the company is now expanding to major cities including Manchester, Birmingham and Bristol. The Birmingham branch will open in the busy Grand Central transport hub at New Street station. Manchester's new pizzeria will span two floors in Deansgate, featuring a Masterclass kitchen like the one in Canary Wharf. Pizza Pilgrims reported record revenue of £34.4m for the year ending June 2024 - a 20 percent increase on the previous year's £28.7 million. Advertisement Before special costs, the company made a profit of £2.9 million - up 21 percent from £2.4 million the year before. But Pizza Pilgrims posted a small loss of £100,000 after exceptional costs, mainly due to the closure of its Oxford site in January 2024. The chain said the Oxford pizzeria was closed as part of "a strategic decision to strengthen the overall portfolio". Domino's fans have compared the two pizza chains before, with some ranking Pizza Pilgrims higher. Advertisement One wrote on social media: "These [Pizza Pilgrims] create their pizzas using only the best ingredients. "Miles better than your nearest Dominos." Domino's axes pizza favourite and time running out for cost of living payments Pizza Pilgrims began in 2012 in a small pizza van in Soho, London, after the brothers completed a 30-stop "pizza pilgrimage" across Italy. The founders aimed to offer simple, authentic pizzas without overcomplicating the menu. Advertisement The brand specialises in Neapolitan-style pizza cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven. It comes as Domino's confirmed it had axed a handful of its popular pizzas from its UK menus. The fast food giant has said customers will no longer be able to buy three of their vegan pizza options. The Plant-Based American Hot, Plant-Based Peppy-roni and Plant-Based Chick'n Winner have been discontinued. Advertisement A spokesperson said: 'At Domino's, we're always tuning into what our customers want and updating our menu accordingly. "As part of this ongoing process, we're refining our plant-based pizza selection to spotlight the fan favourites that keep our customers coming back. "We remain committed to offering a tasty range of vegan options that caters to all tastes and preferences, making sure our customers always have plenty of delicious choices to enjoy.' 3 Pizza Pilgrims was founded in 2012 by brothers Thom and James Elliot Credit: Facebook / Pizza Pilgrims
