A new Domino’s Pizza officially opened its doors on South Loop Boulevard this past Saturday, drawing an excited crowd eager to welcome the latest addition to California City’s dining scene. From noon to 5 p.m., locals lined up to enjoy a promotional $5 deal on medium pepperoni or cheese pizzas. Families, friends, and pizza enthusiasts gathered to celebrate not just the discounted pies but also the message of growth and opportunity the new restaurant brought to their community.
Mayor Hawkins attended the event and used the moment to highlight the city’s potential. “This is a sign that California City is on the move,” he told the crowd. “When businesses come here, they succeed.” The mayor’s comments reflected broader hopes that the Domino’s location would pave the way for other brands to consider the area for future development.
While Saturday’s event was dubbed a soft opening, the restaurant plans a grand opening celebration in late January or early February. The official event is expected to feature expanded activities and additional promotions, inviting even more residents to commemorate the milestone.
For many in attendance, the arrival of Domino’s represents more than just another dining option. Its presence is seen as a signal of growth and investment in California City, poised to bring convenience and familiar flavors to the area. The store will offer both carryout and delivery services to meet local demand.
With smiling staff handing out steaming pizzas and attendees sharing laughs in line, the soft opening was a clear success. As the restaurant continues preparations for its grand opening, residents are looking forward to a pizza-filled future and a growing sense of community.
