In connection with the issuance of the 2021 Variable Funding Notes, the Company’s previous $ 200.0 million variable funding note facility was canceled. A portion of proceeds from the 2021 Recapitalization was used to repay the remaining $ 291.0 million in outstanding principal under the Company’s 2017 five-year floating rate notes and $ 582.0 million in outstanding principal under the Company’s 2017 five-year fixed rate notes, prefund a portion of the interest payable on the 2021 Notes and pay transaction fees and expenses. In connection with the repayment of the 2017 five-year floating rate notes and 2017 five-year fixed rate notes, the Company expensed approximately $ 2.0 million for the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs associated with these notes. Additionally, in connection with the 2021 Recapitalization, the Company capitalized $ 14.9 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized into interest expense over the 7.5 and 10-year expected terms of the 2021 Notes. As of the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company had a leverage ratio of less than 5.0 x, and accordingly, did not make the previously scheduled debt amortization payment for its then-outstanding notes beginning in the first quarter of 2021. Accordingly, all principal amounts of the Company’s outstanding notes were classified as long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2021. Subsequent to the closing of the 2021 Recapitalization, the Company had a leverage ratio of greater than 5.0 x and, accordingly, the Company resumed making the scheduled amortization payments on its notes in the second quarter of 2021. On April 30, 2021, the Company entered into the $ 1.0 billion ASR Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Agreement, on May 3, 2021, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the 2021 Recapitalization to pay the counterparty $ 1.0 billion in cash and received and retired 2,012,596 shares of its common stock. Final settlement of the ASR Agreement occurred on July 21, 2021. In connection with the ASR Agreement, the Company received and retired a total of 2,250,786 shares of its common stock at an average price of $ 444.29 .

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	6. Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Fair Value of Cash Equivalents and Investments The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of the Company’s Level 3 investment is not readily determinable. The fair value represents its cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices resulting from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer or impairments. The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and fair values of certain assets at September 12, 2021 and January 3, 2021: At September 12, 2021 Fair Value Estimated Using Carrying Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Amount Inputs Inputs Inputs Cash equivalents $ 247,009 $ 247,009 $ — $ — Restricted cash equivalents 131,725 131,725 — — Investments in marketable securities 15,103 15,103 — — Advertising fund cash equivalents, restricted 151,763 151,763 — — Investments 82,500 — — 82,500 At January 3, 2021 Fair Value Estimated Using Carrying Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Amount Inputs Inputs Inputs Cash equivalents $ 151,502 $ 151,502 $ — $ — Restricted cash equivalents 126,595 126,595 — — Investments in marketable securities 13,251 13,251 — — Advertising fund cash equivalents, restricted 104,197 104,197 — — Investments 40,000 — — 40,000 During the second quarter of 2020, a subsidiary of the Company acquired a non-controlling interest in Dash Brands Ltd., a privately-held business company limited by shares incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Dash Brands”), for $ 40.0 million. Through its subsidiaries, Dash Brands serves as the Company’s master franchisee in China that owns and operates Domino’s Pizza stores in that market. The Company’s investment in Dash Brands’ senior ordinary shares, which are not in-substance common stock, represents an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value and is recorded at cost with adjustments for observable changes in prices resulting from orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer or impairments. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company invested an additional $ 40.0 million in Dash Brands based on Dash Brands’ achievement of certain pre-established performance conditions. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a positive adjustment of $ 2.5 million to the original carrying amount of $ 40.0 million resulting from the observable change in price from the valuation of the additional investment. This amount was recorded in other income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount of $ 82.5 million in the second or third quarter of 2021. The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Dash Brands from the opening balance at January 3, 2021 to the closing balance at September 12, 2021. Three Fiscal Quarters of 2021 Carrying Amount Carrying Amount January 3, Unrealized September 12, 2021 Purchases Gain 2021 Investments $ 40,000 $ 40,000 $ 2,500 $ 82,500 Fair Value of Debt The estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed and floating rate notes are classified as Level 2 measurements, as the Company estimates the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s fixed and floating rate notes and, at times, trade these notes. The Company also performed its own internal analysis based on the information gathered from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to those of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to estimate fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the debtholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values stated below. Management estimated the approximate fair values of the 2015 fixed rate notes, the 2017 fixed and floating rate notes, the 2018 fixed rate notes, the 2019 fixed rate notes and the 2021 fixed rate notes as follows: September 12, 2021 January 3, 2021 Principal Amount Fair Value Principal Amount Fair Value 2015 Ten-Year Fixed Rate Notes $ 762,000 $ 794,766 $ 766,000 $ 809,662 2017 Five-Year Fixed Rate Notes — — 582,000 582,582 2017 Ten-Year Fixed Rate Notes 965,000 1,028,690 970,000 1,035,960 2017 Five-Year Floating Rate Notes — — 291,000 291,000 2018 7.5-Year Fixed Rate Notes 413,313 429,018 415,438 437,456 2018 9.25-Year Fixed Rate Notes 389,000 420,898 391,000 422,280 2019 Ten-Year Fixed Rate Notes 664,875 715,406 668,250 712,355 2021 7.5-Year Fixed Rate Notes 847,875 880,094 — — 2021 Ten-Year Fixed Rate Notes 997,500 1,053,360 — — The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under its variable funding notes at September 12, 2021 or January 3, 2021 .

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Equity Incentive Plans	10. Equity Incentive Plans The Company’s current equity incentive plan, named the Domino’s Pizza, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Equity Incentive Plan”), benefits certain of the Company’s employees and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. In the three fiscal quarters of 2021, the Company granted non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units to certain employees and members of its Board of Directors under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. As a result of the changes to the characteristics and types of awards granted to date in 2021 under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company has included disclosure of the nature and terms of these awards granted in the three fiscal quarters of 2021, as well as the methods used to estimate their fair values below. The cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, is reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income based on the estimated fair value of the awards and is amortized over the requisite service period of each award. All non-cash compensation expense amounts are recorded in general and administrative expense. Stock Options Stock options granted in fiscal 2021 were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant, expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest over three years from the date of grant, generally subject to the holder’s continued employment. Additionally, all stock options granted become fully exercisable upon vesting. These awards also contain provisions for accelerated vesting upon the retirement eligibility of holders that have achieved specified service and age requirements. Management estimated the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The risk-free interest rate is based on the estimated expected life and is estimated based on U.S. Treasury Bond rates as of the grant date. The expected life is based on several factors, including, among other things, the vesting term and contractual term as well as historical experience. The expected volatility is based principally on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. Other Equity-Based Compensation Arrangements Restricted stock awards granted to members of the Company’s Board of Directors in fiscal 2021 were granted with a fair value equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date and vest one year from the date of grant, generally subject to the director’s continued service. These awards also contain provisions for accelerated vesting upon the retirement eligibility of holders that have achieved specified service and age requirements. Restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2021 were granted with a fair value equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. These restricted stock units are separated into two or three tranches and have time-based ratable vesting conditions with the last tranche of the award vesting three years from the grant date, generally subject to the holder’s continued employment. These awards generally also contain provisions for accelerated vesting upon the retirement eligibility of holders that have achieved specified service and age requirements. Performance-based restricted stock units granted in fiscal 2021 were granted with a fair value equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, adjusted for the estimated fair value of the market condition included in the award. These performance-based restricted stock units may vest three years from the date of grant, generally subject to the holder’s continued employment, and have time and performance-based vesting conditions which provide for potential payouts of the target award amount between zero percent and two hundred percent, based on the Company’s three-year cumulative achievement as compared to the specified target performance conditions. The performance-based restricted stock units also include provisions for a potential modifier (upward or downward) based on the Company’s cumulative three-year common stock performance relative to that of a pre-established peer group. These awards also contain provisions for accelerated vesting of the time-based vesting condition upon the retirement eligibility of holders that have achieved specified service and age requirements. Management estimated the fair value of each performance-based restricted stock unit using a Monte-Carlo simulation pricing method. The risk-free interest rate is based on the estimated expected life and is estimated based on U.S. Treasury Bond rates as of the grant date. The Monte-Carlo simulation also includes assumptions for expected volatility based principally on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price, as well as the correlation of the Company’s share price as compared to that of the pre-established peer group.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	11. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standard Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”) , which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including applicable interim periods. The Company adopted this accounting standard in the first quarter of 2021, and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted The Company has considered all new accounting standards issued by the FASB. The Company has not yet completed its assessment of the following standard. ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848) In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”) , which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Subsequent to the closing of the 2021 Recapitalization, the Company’s 2021 Variable Funding Notes bear interest at fluctuating interest rates based on LIBOR. However, the associated loan documents contemplate a transition from LIBOR to secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) in the event that LIBOR ceases to exist. If the Company further needs to renegotiate its loan documents, the Company cannot predict what alternative index would be negotiated with its lenders. ASU 2020-04 may currently be adopted and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Financial Information by Operating Segment	The following tables summarize revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and other, which is the measure by which the Company allocates resources to its segments and which the Company refers to as Segment Income, for each of its reportable segments. Intersegment revenues are comprised of sales of food, equipment and supplies from the supply chain segment to the Company-owned stores in the U.S. stores segment. Intersegment sales prices are market based. The “Other” column as it relates to Segment Income below primarily includes corporate administrative costs that are not allocable to a reportable segment, including labor, computer expenses, professional fees, travel and entertainment, rent, insurance and other corporate administrative costs.
