Headingley's Domino's has changed its name to 'Lucy's' in honour of England footballer Lucy Bronze ahead of the women's Euro 2022 final.
The 30-year-old defender used to work at Dominos and has a close connection to Leeds after living in the city while studying for her degree. Ahead of battling Germany this weekend, the sports star is being honoured with her very own store in St Annes Road, Headingly, which will be renamed Lucy's for the remainder of the tournament.
The England star, who scored a magnificent header in the 4-0 semi-final triumph over Sweden, worked at the Headingly store during her days as a student at Leeds Metropolitan University. To celebrate the success of the Lionesses in reaching Sunday's final, Domino’s is giving away a free pizza to any customers named Lucy who collect their food from the Headingly outlet on Sunday.

And in another tribute to their former colleague, some specially selected Headingly delivery drivers will be honouring Lucy Bronze by donning bronze helmets in the lead up to the final. Operations director at Domnio's, Ricky Kandola, said: "Lucy Bronze worked at Domino’s so of course she delivers.
"We have always been proud of Lucy’s journey from pizza to pitch. Fingers crossed that Lucy and the team can make a pizza history and bring home the trophy.
"We’re currently looking for superstar players to join our squad and have numerous roles available, so if you think you’re match-fit then get in touch."
Pizza fans nationwide can still to enjoy a slice of the action as they watch the football this Sunday by ordering online, through the Domino’s app or via their nearest store.
