Prosecutors say the incident took place on the evening of February 26, 2023. It is now before court.
Documents allege the North Orange worker was held against his will in a car near Algona Crescent.
A $5 bottle of Sunkist soft drink was also stolen.
"It was random ... he's kidnapped the Domino's guy," magistrate David Day said during a bail hearing on Thursday.
The alleged offender appeared in Orange Local Court via audio visual link from prison. He showed no emotion.
A letter tendered from his mother said: "My son hasn't had a good life, it was full of domestic violence."
The Central Western Daily has chosen not to publish his name. He has not been convicted.
Bail was denied. Magistrate Day said: "His history of offending is very, very concerning ... my view is it would be an unacceptable risk."
A trial is likely 16 to 18 months away. The case will next be heard June 8.
