The short answer
Domino's lets you cancel free of charge only before the store starts making your pizza, once it's in the oven the franchisee can keep the full payment. Same-day orders must be cancelled by phoning the store within a 'reasonable time' before prep starts; advance orders can be cancelled up to one day before the delivery date. If the store itself cancels, you won't be charged and any payment is refunded to your original payment method. For late, cold, missing or wrong items, refunds are handled goodwill-style by Customer Services via the Contact Form.

“If you wish to cancel an order after food has been used to start preparing it, you may, at the Franchisee's sole discretion, be charged the full price of the order and no refund will be due to you.”

How long does a Domino's Pizza refund take?
Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Refund FAQ for Domino's Pizza
There is no automatic refund, the old '30 minutes or it's free' guarantee no longer applies in the UK. Domino's only commits to 'make it right' if you're not satisfied. In practice the store will usually offer a discount voucher or partial refund if the pizza arrived cold or very late. Submit the Contact Form with your order number, the promised time and the actual time, and ask for the refund to your card rather than loyalty points.
