(Reuters) – UK’s Domino’s Pizza Group on Wednesday said its total system sales in the third quarter rose 3%, driven by a increase in delivery orders and boosted by discounted pricing.

The franchise, which operates under the umbrella of U.S.-based Domino’s Pizza in the UK and Ireland, added that positive momentum has continued into the fourth quarter, with total orders climbing 5.8% in the first five weeks.
