"People may have seen our delivery bikes and they'll see the blue box on the back that we put our pizzas in," he said. "We've custom-built one for this jetpack to make sure it fits, to make sure our pizzas stay as flat and level as possible - but also so it can get to its destination as quick as possible.
"We've trailed it with two pizzas and two sides; but obviously we could go up to four pizzas if people are feeling a bit more hungry".Mr Wilson said deliveries would have to be for short distances."We've tried multiple different technologies in the past, like drones, but this is one that we're trialing in and around Glastonbury.Back to the office for the Domino's delivery 'flyer'.
"If we do roll this out, it would vary on where we go, but it's not too far - so it's for shorter flights, not for longer deliveries," he added.Main image: A Domino's delivery 'flyer' gets airborne in the UK. Picture by: Domino's
