This extraordinary venture coincides with the highly anticipated Glastonbury Festival, where music legend Elton John is set to captivate audiences at the Pyramid Stage on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spectators in Somerset were left astonished as they witnessed a Domino\u2019s delivery driver-turned-pilot take flight from the nearby Glastonbury store. Soaring over picturesque hedge-lined fields, this high-flying pioneer skillfully handed over delicious pizzas to enthusiastic campers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/pub\/2023\/06\/image-8-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/pub\/2023\/06\/image-8-5.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/pub\/2023\/06\/image-8-5-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/pub\/2023\/06\/image-8-5-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/pub\/2023\/06\/image-8-5-750x504.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among those lucky enough to witness this incredible spectacle was Natalie Dixon, a festival-goer on her way to the renowned Glastonbury Festival. She exclaimed, \u201cSeeing a jet suit thing fly over Glasto was wild. I\u2019ve never seen a jet suit, let alone one delivering pizzas. I can\u2019t wait to see one land on my doorstep in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sam Wilson, representing Domino\u2019s, shared the inspiration behind this audacious project, saying, \u201cWhen we realized it would be impossible to serve pizza slices inside the festival, we drew inspiration from this year\u2019s headliner to launch our own rapid delivery trial \u2013 it was a bit of a no brainer. Every year, we receive numerous random requests from festival-goers attempting to sneak pizza into the party. Therefore, this year, we aimed to take a gigantic leap forward and test our very own rocket man service, ensuring that hungry campers can experience sky-high satisfaction in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the possibility of expanding this new delivery service nationwide, the Domino\u2019s spokesperson cryptically added, \u201cAll we can say at this stage is that the idea has legs\u2026or wings\u2026or jets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public\u2019s first glimpse of the \u201cDomino\u2019s jet suit-delivered pizza\u201d emerged on Tuesday when witnesses observed the pilot hovering near the Glastonbury store, donning the iconic Domino\u2019s delivery suit, helmet, and a customized jetpack. Equipped with a specially designed delivery box affixed to the suit, the delivery pilot carefully placed two pizzas inside before securing his hands into the jet-engine-powered arm mounts. With a powerful burst, he took off and gracefully soared above the Glastonbury fields, mesmerizing onlookers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Watch: Domino&amp;apos;s delivers pizza to Glastonbury festivalgoers by jet suit\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dGyfLpmHTWk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These remarkable jet suits, valued at hundreds of thousands of pounds, were tailored to meet Domino\u2019s requirements, ensuring that the pizzas arrive with their characteristic piping hot freshness. A representative from Gravity Industries commented on this unconventional use of their technology, stating, \u201cUsing the jet suit to keep the pizza piping hot is undoubtedly an unusual application of our tech, and pizza delivery isn\u2019t a typical part of our flight plan. However, surpassing the average delivery time by flying through the Somerset fields and providing campers with pizzas from the experts in delivery service truly demonstrates the future of fast delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This innovative collaboration between Domino\u2019s Pizza and Gravity Industries has certainly left festival-goers at Glastonbury in awe. As the world eagerly watches this unprecedented trial, the sky may no longer be the limit for delivering the beloved cheesy goodness to pizza enthusiasts everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOMINO\u2019S Pizza has teamed up with Gravity Industries, the renowned jet suit company, to introduce a new method of pizza delivery \u2013 by jet pack.
