Overview
What is .pizza
.pizza comes from the word itself, pizza, a dish now known in almost every country. It speaks to pizzerias, their ovens and delivery services, and to those who teach how to make it or sell its tools. It was added to the internet’s root in 2014, and IANA’s record names Binky Moon, LLC as the body responsible for it.
Few extensions say what you sell this clearly: the customer understands from the address alone that they’re about to order food. It supports names in Arabic and DNSSEC signing, so the shop can register its name as it’s written on its box.
We have an offer for its first year, and renewal costs more, so work it out before you register. It doesn’t stretch beyond pizza, so if your shop becomes a restaurant with a full menu it will feel tight; and it is among the less common extensions, so it may look new to some customers.

Tips
Before you register
- 1Don’t repeat pizza before the dotThe extension says it; the shop’s or neighborhood’s name before it is shorter and clearer.
- 2Give each branch a page, not an addressOne address customers remember beats scattered ones.
- 3A short name, read as it’s writtenIf it needs spelling out on the phone, it’s too long or too complicated.
- 4No digits or hyphens that need explainingEvery hyphen or digit has to be said, and what has to be said gets forgotten.
- 5Renew automatically, or register for yearsUp to 10 years at once, so you never miss a date.
- 6Make sure the name isn’t someone else’s trademarkA registered trademark’s owner can recover the name from whoever registered it first.
