Execute mythical king in US chain (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dominos

'us chain' is the definition.
(US pizza takeaway chain)

'execute mythical king' is the wordplay.
'execute' becomes 'do' (doing is a kind of executing).
'mythical king' becomes 'Minos' (mythical king of Crete).
'do'+'minos'='DOMINOS'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for dominos that I've seen is " Cloaks".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
