Short answer

• Among large, global pizza chains, Domino’s tends to be the fastest overall in recent, industry mystery‑shop studies. Little Caesars is close (especially for carryout), while Pizza Hut and Papa John’s typically post slower average delivery times. (intouchinsight.com, disneyfoodblog.com)

What the data shows (high‑level)

• Intouch Insight’s 2025 Pizza Delivery & Carryout (DELCO) study found Domino’s “dominates in speed” across the brands they measured (report released March 3, 2025). The study also measured total order time, adherence to estimated times and the delivery driver model. (intouchinsight.com)
• Media summaries of the same work (and related mystery‑shop studies) report Domino’s average delivery times measured in the mid‑20 minute range, with other major chains typically 30+ minutes on average; Little Caesars often ranks nearest to Domino’s for speed (but it’s strongly carryout‑focused). (disneyfoodblog.com, intouchinsight.com)

Important caveats — why “fastest” changes by place and time

• In‑house drivers vs. third‑party: Intouch found restaurant‑employed drivers were faster (about 2 minutes 38 seconds faster in their sample) and produced higher satisfaction than third‑party drivers. That means a chain’s speed can vary if it uses DoorDash/Uber/etc. in your market. (intouchinsight.com)
• Local variation: delivery time depends more on the local store, traffic, distance, order volume and time of day than it does on the global brand alone. Some individual Domino’s or independents beat the national average by a wide margin. (intouchinsight.com)
• Ongoing changes: chains continually adjust operations and partnerships (for example, Domino’s has announced partnerships with third‑party platforms and local rapid‑delivery pilots in some countries), so reported averages can shift quickly by market and season. (Reuters.com, financialexpress.com)

Practical tips to get pizza faster

• Order from the brand’s own app or website when possible (brands often prioritize in‑house orders). (intouchinsight.com)
• Choose stores closest to you or pick up “Hot‑N‑Ready” carryout options (Little Caesars and some Domino’s locations offer ready‑to‑take options). (disneyfoodblog.com, intouchinsight.com)
• Avoid peak meal times (weekend dinner, big game days) if speed matters. (intouchinsight.com)
