IT'S not only the mining boom that's creating jobs - there's also plenty of work to be had in the pizza sector.

So says Australia's biggest pizza company, Domino's Pizza Enterprises.



Domino's said it has more than 1000 new jobs to fill nationwide, so it can satisfy a recent technology-led surge in demand for pizza.



Domino's needs extra pizza makers, delivery drivers and part-time managers at its 482 Australian stores.



Domino's chief executive Don Meij says it is now easier for consumers to order their pizzas via applications on mobile phones or tablets, and consequently, they are ordering more pizzas than ever before.



"Our stores are desperately in need of additional staff to fulfil orders and deliveries," Mr Meij said.



"Some stores have as many as 10 jobs available."



Domino's says 350 jobs are available in Queensland, 300 in NSW, 150 in Victoria, 100 in Western Australia, 50 in South Australia, 21 in the ACT, 20 in Tasmania and 10 in the Northern Territory.



Domino's spokeswoman Sarah Broad says the jobs are available now and include casual, part-time and full-time positions.



"This jobs increase has come on the back of positive results in our business," Ms Broad said.



"Our CEO (chief executive officer Don Meij) did report at our half-year financial results in February that that is set to continue.



"From our point of view, job security is definitely there."



In February, Domino's reported a 22.96 per cent lift in first-half net profit to $12.6 million.



Shares in Domino's were 11 cents higher at $8.51 at 11.26 (AEDT) today.
