Nov 4 (Reuters) - UK's Domino's Pizza Group DOM.L reported a third-quarter like-for-like sales growth as higher prices and loyalty initiatives helped sustain demand in a challenging consumer environment.

The group, which operates under the umbrella of U.S.-based Domino's Pizza DPZ.O in the UK and Ireland, reported like-for-like sales growth, excluding certain items, of 1% for the three-month period ended September 28, compared with a decline of 0.7% in the prior quarter.
