All properly executed Proxies received by the Board of Directors, and properly authenticated electronic votes recorded through the internet or by telephone, will be voted as directed by the shareholder. All properly executed Proxies received by the Board of Directors that do not specify how shares should be voted will be voted “FOR” the election as Directors of the nominees listed below under “ELECTION OF DIRECTORS” and “FOR” the ratification of the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent registered public accountants of the Company for the current year.

Solicitation of Proxies may be made by mail, personal interview and telephone by officers, directors and other employees of the Company, and by employees of the Company’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company. The Company will reimburse its transfer agent, banks, brokers, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable costs in sending proxy materials to shareholders.

The internet and telephone procedures for voting and for revoking or changing a vote are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been properly recorded. Shareholders that vote through the internet should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies, which will be borne by the shareholder.

This Proxy Statement, including the Notice of Meeting, was first mailed to shareholders on or about April 8, 2005. As used in this Proxy Statement, references to the “Company”, “Domino’s” or “Domino’s Pizza” refer to Domino’s Pizza, Inc.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

Voting Rights

The record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was the close of business on March 25, 2005 (the “Record Date”). On the Record Date, there were 63,108,924 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, the Company’s only voting securities, outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. Under the Company’s By-Laws, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy, including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for shareholder approval, will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. Shares that abstain

from voting as to a particular matter, and shares held in “street name” by brokers or nominees that indicate on their Proxies that they do not have discretionary authority to vote such shares as to a particular matter, will not be counted as votes in favor of such matter and will also not be counted as votes cast or shares voting on such matter. Accordingly, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the voting on the election of directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of Domino’s common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Domino’s common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. The Company assists its Directors and Executive Officers in completing and filing those reports. Domino’s is required to disclose in its proxy statement any failure to file these reports by the required due dates. The Company believes that all filing requirements applicable to its directors, executive officers and shareholders who own more than 10% of Domino’s common stock were complied with during the last completed fiscal year.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Domino’s has a classified Board of Directors currently consisting of two Directors with terms expiring in 2005 (Class I), two Directors with terms expiring in 2006 (Class II) and two Directors with terms expiring in 2007 (Class III). At each Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Directors in one class are elected for a full term of three years to succeed those Directors whose terms are expiring. This year the two Class I Director nominees (including one Director whose term expires in 2005) will stand for election to a three-year term expiring at the

2008 Annual Meeting. Mr. Harry J. Silverman, our other Class I Director, is scheduled to retire on December 31, 2005 and will not stand for reelection at the 2005 Annual Meeting. The persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote to elect Andrew Balson and Vernon “Bud” Hamilton as directors unless the Proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has indicated their willingness to serve, if elected. However, if a nominee should be unable to serve, the shares of common stock represented by Proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors. Management has no reason to believe that any of the above-mentioned persons will not stand for election or serve as a Director.

Set forth below are the name, age and principal occupation of each nominee for election as a Class I Director and of each continuing member of the Board of Directors. Information with respect to the business experience for the past five years, the names of other publicly-held companies on which they serve as a director appears later in this proxy statement.

OTHER DIRECTOR INFORMATION, COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

The Board of Directors has adopted the Domino’s Pizza Corporate Governance Principles and the Charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee that address Board structure, membership (including nominee qualifications), performance, operations and management oversight. Pursuant to the Corporate Governance Principles, the Board of Directors meets quarterly in executive session (without management present). The Company’s corporate and investor website (www.dominos.com/ Investors/Corporate Governance) contains the Corporate Governance Principles and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter. The discussion leader for these executive session meetings generally is the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, although the Chairs of the Audit and Compensation Committees lead discussions on matters within the purview of those Committees.

The Corporate Governance Principles provide that the Board’s goal is that a majority of the Directors should be independent directors. A Director will be designated as independent if he or she (i) has no material relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries; (ii) satisfies the other criteria specified by New York Stock Exchange listing standards; (iii) has no business conflict with the Company or its subsidiaries; and (iv) otherwise meets applicable independence criteria specified by law, regulation, exchange requirement or the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the following Directors are independent under that definition:

Dennis F. Hightower

The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Hamilton, if elected, would be an independent Director under the above definition.

The Corporate Governance Principles further provide that the Directors are invited and expected to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Company has adopted a Code of Professional Conduct for Senior Financial Officers that applies to all executive officers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as well as all of the Company’s other financial officers and other employees with senior financial roles. The Code of Professional Conduct is posted on the Company’s website (www.dominos.com/ Investors/Corporate Governance). The Company intends to satisfy the disclosure requirement regarding any amendment to, or waiver of, a provision of the Code of Professional Conduct for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Controller or persons performing similar functions, by posting such information on its website.

A total of seven meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company were held during 2004. Each Director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors, and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which that Director served during the period each served as a Director.

For 2004, our independent Directors were paid $30,000 annually, plus $1,000 for each Board meeting and $1,000 for each qualified committee meeting attended, including telephonic meetings, for all services, plus expenses. Beginning on March 1, 2005, our independent Directors will be paid $36,000 annually, plus $1,500 for each Board meeting and $1,250 for each qualified committee meeting attended, including telephonic meetings,

for all services, plus expenses. If more than one qualified meeting is held on the same day, a separate fee is paid for each meeting attended. Meetings of the Audit, Compensation and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are qualified meetings, as are meetings of any special committees established from time to time. In addition, the Chair of the Audit Committee was paid $5,000 in 2004. Beginning on March 1, 2005, the Chair of the Audit Committee will be paid $10,000 annually and the Chairs of each qualified committee will be paid $6,000 annually.

Directors who are not employees of the Company or its subsidiaries and are independent directors also receive annual grants of stock options under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan. Beginning in 2005, each Independent Director will receive an annual grant of options to purchase 7,500 shares of Domino’s common stock. The option exercise price for these grants will be equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Options are granted on the date on which the regularly scheduled Board meeting is held during the Company’s first fiscal quarter. The options granted to Directors have a one-year vesting period and each option is granted for a period of 10 years (subject to special provisions in the case of termination of service, retirement or death).

In accordance with New York Stock Exchange requirements, the Board of Directors has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Audit Committee, all of which will be comprised solely of “independent” Directors, as defined by Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange listed company rules, by July 13, 2005 in accordance with New York Stock Exchange listed company rules.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will be independent by July 13, 2005 as required under the New York Stock Exchange listed company rules as discussed above. In June 2004 the Board of Directors approved a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, which can be found on the Company’s corporate and investor website (www.dominos.com/Investors /Corporate Governance).

The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. Hightower (Chair), Rosenberg and Nunnelly. Messrs. Hightower and Rosenberg are “independent” Directors, as defined in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange listed company rules. The Committee was established on July 13, 2004 and held its first meeting in February of 2005. Its functions include assisting the Board in determining the desired qualifications of Directors, identifying potential individuals meeting those qualification criteria, proposing to the Board a slate of nominees for election by the shareholders and reviewing candidates nominated by shareholders. In addition, the Committee also reviews the Corporate Governance Principles, makes recommendations to the Board with respect to other corporate governance principles applicable to the Company, recommends directors to serve on committees, oversees the determinations of director independence, oversees the annual evaluation of the Board and management, and reviews management and Board succession plans.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets regularly to discuss, among other things, identification and evaluation of potential candidates for nomination as a Director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the ability to use a paid outside search firm to identify possible directors and the candidates will be evaluated according to the qualification criteria as set forth in the Board’s Corporate Governance Principles, including:

•

High personal and professional ethics, integrity and values;

•

Possession of a range of talents, skills and expertise to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the operations and interests of the Company;

•

Expertise that is useful to the Company and complementary to the background and experience of other Board members;

•

Ability to devote the time necessary for the diligent performance of the duties and responsibilities of Board membership;

•

Commitment to serve on the Board over a period of several years to develop knowledge about the Company and its operations;

•

Willingness to represent the long-term interests of all shareholders and objectively appraise management’s performance; and

•

Board diversity, and other relevant factors as the Board may determine.

Mr. Hamilton was recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for election as Director at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Hamilton was identified to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by the Chairman and CEO of Domino’s Pizza, David Brandon. The other nominee for election at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Andrew Balson, already serves as a Director of the Company.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders for the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, provided that the names of such nominees are submitted in writing, not later than December 9, 2005, to Elisa D. Garcia C., Domino’s Pizza, Inc., 30 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106. Each such submission must include a statement of the qualifications of the nominee, a consent signed by the nominee evidencing a willingness to serve as a Director, if elected, and a commitment by the nominee to meet personally with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members.

Other than the submission requirements set forth above, there are no differences in the manner in which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates a nominee for Director recommended by a shareholder.

Compensation Committee

Each member of the Compensation Committee will be independent by July 13, 2005 as required under the New York Stock Exchange listed company rules as discussed above in relation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In June 2004, the Board of Directors approved a Compensation Committee Charter, which can be found on the Company’s corporate and investor website (www.dominos.com/Investors/CorporateGovernance). The Compensation Committee was established on July 13, 2004 and held its first meeting on February 17, 2005.

The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Rosenberg (Chair), Nunnelly and Hightower. The Compensation Committee meets regularly to conduct its required business in accordance with the Compensation Committee Charter. The Compensation Committee’s functions include examining the levels and methods of compensation employed by the Company with respect to the Chief Executive Officer and non-CEO officers, making recommendations to the Board with respect to non-CEO officer compensation, reviewing and approving the compensation package of the Chief Executive Officer, making recommendations to the Board with respect to incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, making administrative and compensation decisions under equity compensation plans approved by the Board, administering one or more cash bonus plans, subject to shareholder approval, that will qualify compensation paid thereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and implementing and administering such plans.

Audit Committee

Each member of the Audit Committee will be independent after the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders as required under the New York Stock Exchange listed company rules as discussed above in relation to the

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In June 2004, the Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, a revised Audit Committee Charter, which is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

The existing members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Hightower (Chair), Rosenberg and Balson, and following the 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it is expected that the members of the Audit Committee will be Messrs. Hightower, (Chair), Rosenberg and Hamilton. The Board of Directors has determined that two of its independent members, each meeting the requirements of Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act, Messrs. Hightower and Rosenberg, are audit committee financial experts. The Committee met five times during 2004. Its functions include providing assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibility relating to the Company’s financial statements and the financial reporting process, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent public accountants, the Company’s system of internal controls, the internal audit function, the Company’s code of ethical conduct, retaining and, if appropriate, terminating the independent public accountants, and approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent public accountants.

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy under which audit and non-audit services to be rendered by the Company’s independent public accountants are pre-approved. The Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy is attached as Annex B to this Proxy Statement. No services were provided by the independent public accountants in 2004 that were approved by the Committee under Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Section 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) (which addresses certain services considered de minimus to be approved by the Committee after such services have been performed).

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report.

The Audit Committee operates in accordance with a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors and reviewed annually by our committee. We are responsible for overseeing the quality and integrity of Domino’s accounting, auditing, financial reporting and internal control practices. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the selection of the Company’s independent accountants.

In performing its responsibilities, the Audit Committee, in addition to other activities, (i) reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements with management; (ii) discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as modified or supplemented; and (iii) received the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as modified or supplemented, and discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the firm’s independence. Based on these reviews, discussions and activities, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2004 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with maintaining such firm’s independence. After reviewing the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, including all non-audit services, the Audit Committee, in accordance with its charter, authorized the reappointment, subject to shareholder ratification, of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company.

Respectfully submitted,

Audit Committee

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company’s executive compensation policy is a “pay for performance” system. In an effort to provide shareholders with a better understanding of the Company’s executive compensation practices, this Report provides information beyond the information required by the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following Report of the Compensation Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report.

Overview

During fiscal 2004, the Board established an appropriate governance process, including the establishment of a Compensation Committee. The Board adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee that clearly articulates the duties and responsibilities of the committee. The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for administering the Company’s executive compensation programs and establishing the salaries and other compensation of the Company’s executive officers. The committee consists of only non-employee directors, who are appointed by the Board.

Compensation Philosophy

Domino’s Pizza, Inc. is committed to achieving long-term, sustainable growth and increasing shareholder value. Our compensation programs for executive officers are designed to maintain these commitments and encourage strong financial performance on an annual and longer-term basis. The principal elements of the compensation structure for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers are base salary, performance bonus awards, certain fringe benefits, and long-term compensation consisting primarily of stock options.

In order to maintain the effectiveness of our current executive compensation structure, the Compensation Committee annually reviews the reasonableness of executive compensation levels using public information about comparable companies within our industry, taking into account individual performance as well as the Company’s growth and profitability. In making such determinations, the Compensation Committee reviews the nature and scope of each executive officer’s responsibilities as well as his or her effectiveness in supporting our long-term goals. The Compensation Committee attempts to set levels of salary, bonus, and other compensation at levels that will attract, motivate, and retain superior executive talent in a highly competitive environment. In February, 2005 the committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., an independent compensation consulting firm, to advise it on compensation matters.

Annual Compensation

The Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the base salaries of executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. In making these determinations, the committee considers various factors such as the executive’s employment agreement with the Company, the executive’s performance and responsibilities, leadership, years of experience, competitive salaries within the marketplace, and the executive’s total compensation package.

Annual Performance Bonuses

The annual performance bonus for executive officers consists of a cash bonus payment based upon both the Company’s total performance and individual executive performance. Each year, the committee approves bonus targets for the Company and sets a bonus target for the Named Executive Officers based on the achievement of a certain EBITDA target. No bonuses are paid to Key Executives (as defined herein) unless 90% of the bonus target is exceeded in the applicable fiscal year. Each Key Executive receives one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of a specified percentage of their base salary for every one hundredth of one percent (0.01%) (rounded to the nearest hundredth) in excess of 90% of the bonus target that is achieved in the applicable fiscal year. Key

Executives are also eligible for an annual discretionary bonus, the amount of which is determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer based on subjective and objective criteria established by the Chief Executive Officer, of up to 25% of their base salary. The committee approves annual bonuses for all eligible employees, including the executive officers of the Company, based on whether the pre-approved bonus targets were met and whether any other pre-established performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee were achieved. The committee may revise the established performance criteria and establish new performance criteria.

Long-Term Compensation

In order to ensure that the interests of management are aligned with creating shareholder value, the Compensation Committee provides and maintains long-term equity incentive programs. Grantees do not receive a benefit from stock options unless and until the market price of the Company’s common shares increases. This program accomplishes the objective of linking each executive officer’s opportunity for financial gain to increases in shareholder wealth, as reflected by the market price of the Company’s common shares.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to issue equity awards under the Domino’s Pizza, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan, which was adopted in 2004. Under the plan, the Compensation Committee may award incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock deliverable on a deferred basis, performance-based stock awards, and cash payments intended to defray the cost of awards. Participation in the plan is limited to those key employees and other persons who are recommended by management and approved by the Compensation Committee. Under the plan, the maximum number of shares for which awards may be granted to any participant in any year, and the maximum number of shares deliverable to any participant through other awards for any year, is in each case limited to 1,000,000 shares per participant. The limit on shares available under the plan, the individual limits, and other award terms are subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits or stock dividends, combinations, and certain other events. The plan also includes provisions concerning the treatment of awards upon the termination of service of an individual employee, and in the case of a merger or similar corporate transaction by the Company.

The current outstanding options under the plan generally vest ratably over a five-year period. As of January 2, 2005 there were 1,702,754 options currently issued and outstanding under the plan and a total of 3,897,246 authorized but unissued options under the plan, none of such options were fully vested. Additionally as of January 2, 2005, there were 5,520,540 outstanding options issued prior to July 13, 2004 under the TISM, Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan of which 4,070,006 options are fully vested.

Certain Benefits

The benefits program is comprised of retirement income and group insurance plans. The objective of the program is to provide executive officers with reasonable and competitive levels of protection against the four contingencies (retirement, death, disability and ill health) which will interrupt the executive officer’s employment and/or income received as an active employee. The retirement program consists of two savings plans: 1) a tax-qualified 401(k) savings plan and 2) a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The 401(k) savings plan is open to all employees age 21 or older who have also worked at least 1,000 hours. The non-qualified deferred compensation plan is offered to select senior management, including all Executives Officers.

The group insurance program consists of life, disability and health insurance benefit plans that cover all full-time employees. All executive officers are provided reimbursement for payroll contributions when participating in the long-term disability plan as well as an umbrella life insurance policy. The executive officers are reimbursed for expenses related to the completion of an annual comprehensive physical.

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits the deductibility of executive compensation paid by a publicly-held company to $1,000,000 per individual employee per year. This limitation

generally does not apply to performance-based compensation under a plan that is approved by the shareholders of a company that also meets certain other technical requirements. The Compensation Committee intends to utilize performance-based compensation programs that meet the deductibility requirements under Section 162(m). However, the Compensation Committee also realizes that in order to attract and retain individuals with superior talent, the possibility exists that individual exceptions may occur.

Compensation for Chief Executive Officer

Mr. Brandon was named Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company in March 1999. He had previously served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Valassis, Inc. from 1989 to 1998 and Chairman of the Board from 1997 to 1998.

Mr. Brandon’s employment agreement provides that he will receive an annual bonus, the amount of which shall be determined based on the achievement of performance objectives. For 2004, the performance objective was based on the achievement of the same EBITDA target used to determine other key executive bonuses. The maximum amount of the bonus pursuant to his employment agreement is 200% of base salary. The payment to Mr. Brandon for 2004 was based on the extent to which the 2004 goals were achieved. Consistent with the philosophy stated earlier in this Report regarding the significance of incentive compensation to total cash compensation, 66% of Mr. Brandon’s cash compensation for 2004 was incentive pay. Since the incentive award opportunity was designed to increase as the Company’s performance increased, and decrease if the specified goals were not met, Mr. Brandon’s cash compensation was significantly affected by the Company’s performance.

Long-term incentives in the form of stock options were granted to Mr. Brandon in 2004. Stock options were granted at 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common shares on July 13, 2004, the date of grant. Options serve to directly align Mr. Brandon’s interests with the interests of the Company and other shareholders, as Mr. Brandon will not realize a benefit unless and until the market price of the Company’s common shares increases.

The Committee believes that Mr. Brandon was reasonably compensated for the job he has done as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. His opportunities to increase his future compensation depend on the Company’s future performance and the competitive pay practices of comparable positions within the food-service industry. The compensation programs applicable to Mr. Brandon have accomplished the objective of linking shareholder and financial performance to Mr. Brandon’s total compensation.

Respectfully submitted,

Compensation Committee

Mr. Brandon is employed as our Chief Executive Officer pursuant to an employment agreement that terminates on December 31, 2008. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Brandon is entitled to receive an annual salary of $600,000 and is eligible for an annual bonus based on achievement of performance objectives. If Mr. Brandon is terminated other than for cause or resigns voluntarily for good reason, he is entitled to receive continued salary for two years. In addition, in those circumstances or if Mr. Brandon serves through December 31, 2008, each of Mr. Brandon and his wife is entitled to receive continued health insurance paid by us for the remainder of their lives. In connection with the recapitalization in June 2003, Mr. Brandon’s options to purchase shares of our non-voting common stock became fully vested. On July 1, 2003, Mr. Brandon was granted additional options to purchase 293,333 shares of non-voting common stock at an exercise price of $8.66 per share, which options will vest 20% per year, subject to acceleration in specified circumstances involving either a change of control of Domino’s, as described below, or a termination of employment either by the Company without cause or by Mr. Brandon for good reason. We also have a time-sharing agreement with Mr. Brandon that requires him to reimburse us for his personal use of our corporate aircraft pursuant to a statutory formula.

The Company has also entered into employment agreements (“Executive Agreements”) with each of the Named Executive Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table (see pages 12 and 13) as well as certain other executive officers (“Key Executives”). The Executive Agreements are intended to assure the Company that it will have the continued dedication, undivided loyalty, and objective advice and counsel from these Key Executives during their respective terms of employment and in the event of a proposed transaction, or the threat of a transaction, which could result in a change in control of the Company.

Each of our other Named Executive Officers is employed pursuant to a written employment agreement, terminable at will by either party. Under each employment agreement, the Named Executive Officer is entitled to receive an annual salary and an annual formula bonus based on achievement of performance objectives and is eligible to receive a discretionary bonus. Under their respective employment agreements, Messrs. Silverman, Soignet, Doyle and Calwell are entitled to receive an annual base salary of $310,000, $285,000, $290,000 and $285,000, respectively. If the employment of any such Named Executive Officer is terminated other than for cause or if he resigns voluntarily for good reason, he is entitled to continue to receive his salary for twelve months plus any earned but unpaid bonus. In addition, if any such Named Executive Officer’s employment is terminated by reason of physical or mental disability, he is entitled to receive continued salary less the amount of disability income benefits received by him and continued coverage under group medical plans for 18 months. In addition, each of the Named Executive Officers is subject to non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions. Each of our other executive officers is elected by and serves at the discretion of the board of directors.

Additionally, Mr. Silverman has announced his intention to retire from his position as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President on December 31, 2005. In connection with this transition, the Company and Mr. Silverman have entered into a one year consulting agreement that begins on January 1, 2006 and ends on December 31, 2006.

Change-of-control provisions

The stock option agreements of our Named Executive Officers under the Fourth Amended and Restated TISM Stock Option Plan provide that upon a change in control of Domino’s Pizza, Inc., the options granted to the Named Executive Officers shall become immediately vested, but exercisable only as to an additional 20% per year. After a change in control, however, should the Named Executive Officer terminate his employment for good reason (as defined in the Executive Agreements), or if we terminate the Named Executive Officer without cause (as defined in the Executive Agreements), all options will become immediately exercisable.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING MANAGEMENT OR 5% OR GREATER SHAREHOLDERS

Stockholders agreements

In connection with the 1998 recapitalization, we entered into a number of stockholders agreements. The first agreement was entered into with investment funds affiliated with Bain Capital, LLC and specified other investors, shareholders and executive officers. In connection with our initial public offering, all of the stockholders agreements were amended to eliminate the voting agreement and the negative covenants contained therein and all of the other provisions of these agreements, other than provisions relating to registration rights, terminated by operation of the applicable agreement. The registration rights provide for demand registration rights for the investment funds affiliated with Bain Capital, LLC and for piggyback registration rights for all shareholders that are party to that stockholders agreement. The second stockholders agreement was entered into with all of our current employee shareholders. This agreement contained a provision that terminated all of the other provisions of the agreement, other than the registration rights provisions, upon our initial public offering. The registration rights provisions provide for piggyback registration rights for all such shareholders. The remaining stockholders agreements were entered into with each of our current franchisee shareholders. Each of these agreements contained a provision under which all of the other provisions of the agreement, other than the registration rights provisions, terminated at our initial public offering. The registration rights provisions provide for piggyback registration rights for all such shareholders. Each of the stockholders agreements includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of any person who is or might be deemed a controlling person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, who we refer to as controlling persons, and related parties against liabilities under the Securities Act incurred in connection with the registration of any of our debt or equity securities. These provisions provide indemnification against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act and certain liabilities resulting from violations of other applicable laws in connection with any filing or other disclosure made by us under the securities laws relating to any such registrations. We agreed to reimburse such persons for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such liability, action or proceeding, except that we will not be required to indemnify any such person or reimburse related legal or other expenses if such loss or expense arises our of or is based on any untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information provided by such person.

Management agreement

In connection with our 1998 recapitalization, we entered into a management agreement with Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P., an affiliate of Bain Capital, LLC, pursuant to which Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. provides financial, management and operations consulting services to us. These services include advice in connection with the negotiation and consummation of agreements and other documents to provide us with financing from banks or other entities, as well as financial, managerial and operational advice in connection with our day-to-day operations, including advice with respect to the investment of funds and advice with respect to the development and implementation of strategies for improving our operating, marketing and financial performance. In exchange for such services, Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. was paid an annual management fee not to exceed $2.0 million plus reimbursement of the expenses of Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. and its affiliates in connection with the management agreement, our recapitalization in 1998 or otherwise related to their investment in us. In addition, in exchange for assisting us in negotiating the senior financing for any recapitalization, acquisition or other similar transaction, Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. was entitled to a transaction fee equal to 1% of the gross purchase price, including assumed liabilities, for such transaction, irrespective of whether such senior financing is actually committed or drawn upon. In connection with our 1998 recapitalization, Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. received a fee of $11.75 million. In connection with the closing our initial public offering in July 2004, the management agreement was terminated in exchange for a payment to Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. of $10.0 million. The management agreement included customary indemnification provisions in favor of Bain Capital Partners VI, L.P. and its affiliates and related parties. Messrs. Balson and Nunnelly, two of our directors, are managing directors of Bain Capital, LLC. The management agreement indemnification provision provides that we will indemnify each

of the above-referenced entities and persons from and against all liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with our recapitalization in 1998, the management agreement or other transactions related to their investment in us, except for such liability or expense arising on account of such indemnified person’s willful misconduct.

Financing arrangements

One of our former directors, Robert Ruggiero, Jr., is an executive officer of the ultimate general partners of J.P. Morgan Partners (BHCA), L.P. and Sixty Wall Street Fund, L.P. and an executive of J.P. Morgan Capital, L.P., each of which is a shareholder (collectively, the “JPMorgan Shareholders”). Mr. Ruggiero resigned from our board of directors effective April 21, 2004. Affiliates of the JPMorgan Shareholders provide services to us from time to time on terms which we believe are no less favorable than obtainable from an unrelated third party. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., an affiliate of the JPMorgan Shareholders, acted as a joint book-running manager for our initial public offering in July 2004, for which they were paid approximately $7.0 million in customary underwriter fees. In addition, during 2002 and in connection with the consummation of one of our previous senior secured credit facilities, these affiliates provided financing services for which they were paid approximately $2.3 million in financing fees. In addition, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., an affiliate of the JPMorgan Shareholders, served as the book-running manager of our 2003 senior subordinated note offering and solicitation agent for the 2009 senior subordinated note tender offer that was executed in 2003 and related consent solicitation, and other affiliates, in their respective capacities, acted as joint lead arranger, administrative agent and a lender under our new senior secured credit facility and for the first amendment thereto in November of 2003 for which they received customary fees, which totaled approximately $7.9 million. During 2004, the Company paid an affiliate of JPMorgan Shareholders $1.1 million of financing costs relating to amendments to our senior secured credit facility. JPMorgan Chase Bank received or will receive commitment and letters of credit fees for their ratable portion of our previous senior secured credit facility and our new senior secured credit facility. JPMorgan Chase Bank is also currently a counterparty to interest rate derivative agreements with us with an aggregate notional amount of $400.0 million.

Lease arrangements

In connection with our recapitalization in 1998, Domino’s Pizza LLC, our operating subsidiary, entered into a lease with Domino’s Farms Office Park L.L.C., or Domino’s Farms, with respect to its World Resource Center and Michigan distribution center. Thomas S. Monaghan, one of our former directors and our former majority shareholder, is the ultimate controlling person of Domino’s Farms.

The lease was amended in August 2002 with an effective of date of December 21, 2003 to provide for additional space, new rent and an expiration date of December 20, 2013 with two five year options to renew. Under the terms of the lease, as amended, we paid $4.5 million in rent under this lease in 2003. The base rent is subject to annual increases, based on the lower of the consumer price index or a stated percentage, which varies by year, and we expect to pay approximately $5.3 million in 2005.

Contingent notes payable

We were liable under two contingent notes to pay Mr. Monaghan and his wife an aggregate amount not to exceed approximately $15.0 million, plus interest commencing January 2003 equal to 8% per annum. Prior to our initial public offering, Mr. Monaghan transferred his interest in his contingent note to the Ave Maria Foundation and certain of his family members. Following our initial public offering, we prepaid all of the outstanding amounts due under these notes, totaling approximately $16.9 million.

Charitable contribution

In February 2004, our board of directors approved a contribution of $100,000 to the David A. Brandon Foundation, a Section 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization which was founded by our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who serves on the Board of Directors of the foundation.

Repurchase of Class L stock options

At the time of our July 2004 initial public offering, we repurchased from each of Messrs. Silverman and Soignet the outstanding options to purchase shares of our Class L common stock held by them. Each of Messrs. Silverman and Soignet held an option to purchase 7,407 shares of our Class L common stock at an exercise price of $60.75 per share. These options were initially issued in connection with TISM, Inc.’s 1998 recapitalization and became options to purchase shares of our Class L common stock in the reclassification that occurred upon the merger of TISM, Inc. into Domino’s Pizza, Inc. At the initial public offering, upon the conversion of our Class L common stock into shares of our common stock in the reclassification, these options became exercisable for 53,976 shares of our common stock, by converting each option to purchase a share of Class L common stock into an option to purchase one share of common stock plus an additional number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Class L preference amount, $81.23, by $12.92, the initial public offering price of a share of our common stock in this offering net of the estimated underwriting discount and a pro rata portion, based upon the number of shares being sold in this offering, of the estimated offering-related expenses incurred by us. We paid to each of Messrs. Silverman and Soignet approximately $305,000 in exchange for their Class L stock options, equal to the difference between the aggregate exercise price of such options, approximately $450,000, and the fair market value of the shares issuable upon exercise, approximately $755,000 based on the $14.00 per share initial public offering price.

New Franchisee

James Rosenberg, the son of Robert M. Rosenberg, a director of the Company, recently opened a Domino’s Pizza franchise. James Rosenberg paid $6,500 in customary fees in connection with his Development Agreement with the Company. In accordance with the terms of his standard ten-year Franchise Agreement, James Rosenberg will pay Domino’s a standard royalty rate on the sales at his Domino’s Pizza franchise and will also purchase his food and supplies from the Domino’s Pizza distribution system.

Time Sharing Agreement with David Brandon for Use of Corporate Aircraft

In accordance with the terms of the Time Sharing Agreement between Domino’s Pizza LLC and David Brandon, dated as of December 2, 2002, Mr. Brandon paid the Company $156,955 in 2004 as reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Company in relation to his personal use of the company aircraft.

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Company’s Audit Committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accountants of the Company for the current fiscal year. Management expects that representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the common shares represented at the meeting in person or by proxy is necessary to ratify the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the current year. Under applicable law, listing requirements and the Company’s By-Laws, abstentions are counted as present; the effect of an abstention is the same as a “no” vote. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons named in the Proxy will vote all Proxies in favor of ratification. If the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider the selection of independent registered public accountants.

Even if the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is ratified by shareholders, the Audit Committee in its discretion could decide to terminate the engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and to engage another firm if the Committee determines such action to be necessary or desirable.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.

At January 2, 2005, under the TISM Plan there were outstanding options to purchase 5,520,540 shares of non-voting common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.19 per share of which options to purchase 4,070,006 shares were exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $2.58 per share. In connection with our initial public offering in July of 2004, we amended the TISM Plan to terminate the ability to issue additional options under the TISM Plan. Outstanding awards previously granted under our existing stock option plan will continue to be governed by such plan.

The maximum number of shares of stock for which options may be granted to any person in any calendar year or that may be delivered to any person in any calendar year will each be 1,000,000. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the 2004 Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of non-statutory stock options granted under the 2004 Plan is determined by the administrator, but with respect to

non-statutory stock options intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, the exercise price must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. With respect to any participant who owns stock representing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of any incentive stock option grant must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value on the grant date, and the term of such incentive stock option must not exceed five years.

“Householding” of Proxy Materials

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. You can notify us by sending a written request to Domino’s Pizza, Inc., Investor Relations, 30 Frank Lloyd Wright Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106, or calling Investor Relations at (734) 930-3008.

Domino’s Pizza, Inc.

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

I.	Statement of Principles

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by Domino’s Pizza, Inc.’s (the “Company”) independent auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence. To implement the provisions of the Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has issued rules specifying the types of services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client, as well as the Audit Committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has adopted, and the Board of Directors has ratified, this Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy (the “Policy”), which sets forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services to be performed by the independent auditor are to be pre-approved.

The SEC’s rules establish two different approaches to pre-approving services that the SEC considers to be equally valid. Proposed services either may be pre-approved by agreeing to a framework with descriptions of allowable services with the Audit Committee (“general pre-approval”), or require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee (“specific pre-approval”). The Audit Committee believes that the combination of these two approaches in this Policy will result in an effective and efficient procedure to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor. As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor.

Exhibit I to this Policy describes the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other Services that will be subject to the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor that are subject to general pre-approval. It is expected that such general pre-approval will occur at the first regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting each year. The Audit Committee will add to or subtract from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. Updates to the level of fees associated with the services, subject to general pre-approval, will be provided to the Audit Committee at regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings.

The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The Company’s independent auditor has reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the Policy will not adversely affect the auditor’s independence.

II.

Delegation

As provided in the Act, the SEC’s rules and the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee may delegate either type of pre-approval authority to its chairperson or any other member or members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next meeting.

III.

Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement scope and terms will be subject to the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit (including required quarterly reviews) and other procedures required to be performed by the independent auditor to be able to form an opinion

on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Audit services also include the attestation engagement for the independent auditor’s report on management’s assertion on internal controls for financial reporting. The Audit Committee will monitor the Audit services engagement throughout the year and will also approve, if necessary, any changes in terms and conditions resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other items. The Audit Committee will annually pre-approve the Audit services in Exhibit I.

III.

Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Because the Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor and is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, the Audit Committee will grant general pre-approval to Audit-related services.

The Audit Committee will annually pre-approve the Audit-related services in Exhibit I. All other Audit-related services not listed in Exhibit I must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

IV.

Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence, and the SEC has stated that the independent auditor may provide such tax services since they do not impair independence. Hence, the Audit Committee will grant general pre-approval to those Tax services that have historically been provided by the auditor, that the Audit Committee has reviewed and believes would not impair the independence of the auditor, and that are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee will annually pre-approve the Tax services in Exhibit I.

V.	All Other Services

The Audit Committee believes, based on the SEC’s rules prohibiting the independent auditor from providing specific non-audit services, that other types of non-audit services are permitted. Accordingly, the Audit Committee believes it may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other Services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee will annually pre-approve the All Other Services in Exhibit I. Permissible other Services not listed in Exhibit I must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

PwC is permitted to assist management and the Corporate Internal Audit Department with internal investigations and fact-finding into alleged improprieties; however, these services are subject to specific approval and engagement by the Audit Committee or its delegate (Chairperson).

VI.

Procedures

At the beginning of each year, the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), the Corporate Controller and PwC shall jointly submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services that are subject to general pre-approval.

This schedule, referred to as EXHIBIT I, provides a description of each type of service that is subject to general pre-approval and, where possible, will provide projected fees (or a range of projected fees) for each service. The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and review the projected fees for the fiscal year at its first regularly scheduled meeting each year. This approval acknowledges that the Audit

Committee is in agreement with the specific types of services that PwC will be permitted to perform. The fee amounts listed on EXHIBIT I will be updated to the extent necessary at each of the regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. If the Company determines that the fees for services that have been pre-approved will exceed the projected fee amount in excess of $ 500,000 before a regularly scheduled meeting occurs, specific pre-approval by the chairperson of the Audit Committee must be obtained before fees over $500,000 are provided.

If subsequent to the approval of EXHIBIT I by the Audit Committee, the Company determines that it would like to engage PwC to perform a service not included on the EXHIBIT I list, the Company will discuss such services at the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting so that specific approval can be obtained. If the timing of the project is critical and the project needs to commence before the regularly scheduled meeting, the specific pre-approval by the chairperson of the Audit Committee must be obtained before any services are provided. Services for fees less than $500,000 will be pre-approved by the Chief Financial Officer. PwC must not commence any such project until specific approval has been given. In addition, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, the additional service pre-approved by the Chair will be approved by the entire Audit Committee.
