Domino's pizza chain 'to open restaurant on the moon'

Pizza chain Domino's has stated its intention to sell pizza on the moon.

The claim was made by the Japanese branch of the company, with the project expected to cost around 1.67 trillion Japanese yen (£13.4bn / $21.7bn) if it goes ahead.

That money would be used to launch 15 rockets to carry all of the required materials and equipment.

A spokesman for Domino's told The Daily Telegraph: "We started thinking about this project last year, although we have not yet determined when the restaurant might open.

"In the future, we anticipate there will be many people living on the moon, astronauts who are working there and in the future, citizens of the moon."

Hired employees would have to be willing to relocate to the moon.

Last year, Domino's celebrated 25 years in business in the UK by giving away free pizza to loyal customers at the company's landmark store in Luton.
