July 21 (Reuters) - Domino's Pizza surpassed

analysts' expectations for second-quarter U.S. same-store sales

on Monday, driven by new items on the menu and promotions, amid

persisting macroeconomic uncertainties.

The world's largest pizza chain added items such as the

parmesan-stuffed crust pizza to its list, and attracted

value-conscious consumers through deals under its rewards

program. That partly helped cushion the impact from U.S.

President Donald Trump's on-and-off tariff policy and the

ensuing trade war.

"In the U.S., both delivery and carryout grew, driving

meaningful market share gains," Domino's CEO Russell Weiner

said.

Domino's posted a 3.4% rise in same-store sales in the U.S.

for the quarter ended June 15, exceeding analysts' average

estimate of a 2.21% rise, according to data compiled by LSEG.

That marked its first beat in five quarters.

The company's online sales also grew, helped by discounts

and from the success of its partnership with DoorDash ( DASH ),

which doubled its share of sales made through third-party

delivery channels to roughly 5%, according to Matt Goodman,

analyst at research firm M Science.

International same-store sales grew 2.4%, also ahead of the

estimate of 1.71% growth.

The company posted earnings per share of $3.81, compared

with the estimate of $3.95.
