# Domino’s Drone is Delivering Pizza Pie From the Sky

Last Thursday, [Domino's Pizza](<https://www.dominos.com.au/>) demonstrated its pizza delivery service—drone-style—in Auckland, New Zealand. And we kid you not—the pizza was heaven-sent.

Domino’s Group CEO and Managing Director Don Meij said:

*“We’ve always said that it doesn’t make sense to have a 2-tonne machine delivering a 2-kilogram order…drones allow us to extend \[our\] delivery area by removing barriers such as traffic and access \[and\] deliver further afield than we currently do to our rural customers while reaching our urban customers in a much more efficient time.”*

With this in mind, Meij, sought out [Flirtey](<http://flirtey.com/>)'s aerial logistics services for their delivery drones—the DRU: Domino’s Robotics Unit.

If you weren't aware, the Reno, Nevada startup was actually behind [7-Eleven's Flying Donuts](<https://futurism.com/flying-donuts-7-eleven-just-completed-the-first-commercial-drone-delivery>) last July 2016. So yeah, they're awesome.

Following a delivery method designed to work alongside Domino’s current methods, the DRU DRONE would certainly live up to Domino’s ethos: bringing about convenience to their customers.
