McDonald's just brought a bunch of international menu items to Canada — and pizza is back (kind of)
The new menu additions feature several of the most popular menu items from places like Germany, Italy, Japan and more. And it's not just sandwiches and burgers. Diners can also try pizza bites, McFlurries, specialty sauces and more.
Keep scrolling to see what new menu additions Canadians can try — and what people are saying.
McDonald's is bringing back pizza — well, kind of.
McDonald's McPizza Bites are an international twist on a fan-favourite McDonald's Italy dish. They're also a callback to the McPizza, which was discontinued more than two decades ago.
The bites are made with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce, all wrapped in toasted pizza dough.
The new Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich is a spin on a chicken sandwich from McDonald's Japan.
The new McDonald's sandwich features a breaded, seasoned chicken patty covered in a sweet and tangy teriyaki sauce that's then topped with shredded lettuce, mayo-style sauce and a sesame seed bun.
The second new sandwich in the lineup is the Big Rösti — a seasonal menu item at McDonald's Germany, usually available during the winter. A rösti is a traditional Swiss/German pan-fried dish made from grated potatoes, similar to a hash brown.
The McDonald's sandwich features a beef burger topped with hickory-smoked bacon, processed cheese, a cheese sauce, and, most importantly, a golden rösti hash brown, all served on a rolled oat bun.
The only new dessert item features an iconic European cookie.
The Biscoff McFlurry, from McDonald's Belgium, features a Biscoff cookie combined with McDonald's ice cream. Biscoff is a cookie from Lotus Bakeries that originated in Belgium in 1932 and is known for its caramelized, spiced taste.
One of two new limited-edition dipping sauces, this McDonald's U.K. favourite features a punchy hit of garlic.
The other new sauce on the menu is a zingy chili sauce served at McDonald's Australia, where the condiment is extremely popular.
Even though the new menu just launched on Tuesday, Canadians are already weighing in on social media.
"Those pizza bites were soooo gooood in Italy! I'm excited to 'eat around the world' McDonald's style," wrote one person on Instagram.

"I'm gonna need a Biscoff McFlurry tout de suite," another person commented.
"This is insane.I will be trying all of these," wrote a person on X.
"A someone who travels the world and goes to all the McDonalds, this is great," another user commented.
Some commenters said they want more international items to come to Canada, including the Chicken Wings from McDonald's Italy, the Big Brekkie Burger from McDonald's Australia and the Burger 280 from McDonald's France.

'Here we go soon' – Liverpool Close to Agreeing £65m Deal for Forward
Luis Díaz Nears Bayern Munich Move: What It Means for Liverpool's Future In a significant development in Liverpool's summer transfer window, Fabrizio Romano reports that Luis Díaz is on the verge of joining Bayern Munich, with a deal nearing completion. The Colombian winger, a fan favourite at Anfield, is set to swap Merseyside for Bavaria in a move valued at €75 million, including add-ons. The contract would run until June 2029, with only final details around performance-related bonuses now left to settle. Romano tweeted: ' FC Bayern are closing in on deal to sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool! Agreement at final stages with details being sorted. €75m package with add-ons included, contract until June 2029. Liverpool and Bayern are discussing add-ons details… then, here we go soon. ' This transfer, while not wholly unexpected, marks another pivotal moment in what has already been a turbulent summer for Liverpool. Under new manager Arne Slot, the club is navigating a major transition, both tactically and emotionally, following the departure of Jurgen Klopp and the recent tragic loss of Diogo Jota. Díaz's exit signals the continuation of an era-defining squad overhaul. Diaz's Liverpool Legacy Luis Díaz arrived from FC Porto in January 2022 and made an immediate impact. Known for his direct running, flair and relentless work ethic, he became an essential part of Klopp's system, especially during the club's push for a quadruple in the 2021-22 season. However, injuries and inconsistent form in recent campaigns saw his influence wane slightly, opening the door for discussions about his long-term role. Still, losing Díaz is a blow. His contribution in high-pressure moments, particularly in cup competitions, helped Liverpool maintain competitiveness during squad transitions. The €75 million fee represents decent value, but reinvestment will be critical. What This Means for Arne Slot Slot is tasked with evolving Liverpool's tactical identity and is reportedly open to reshaping the attacking unit. With Darwin Núñez also likely to depart, the club's frontline could be unrecognisable come September. Reports suggest Newcastle's Alexander Isak is the dream replacement, though the fee required could surpass £100 million. This puts pressure on sporting director Richard Hughes and the recruitment team to ensure that Díaz's departure is not merely a cash-raising exercise, but part of a broader strategic vision. The attack now lacks a left-sided option who can cut inside and threaten consistently. Harvey Elliott's future is also under question, meaning Liverpool could be preparing for a near-complete forward rebuild. Market Implications Díaz's move to Bayern shifts the balance across Europe too. Bayern, coming off a trophyless season, are eager to refresh their squad, and Díaz offers them pace and flair that has been missing. His signing fits the Bundesliga giants' model of acquiring Premier League-tested talent to reassert domestic and continental dominance. For Liverpool, it is yet another reminder that the rebuild under Arne Slot will be aggressive and possibly painful. With experienced players leaving and major gaps to fill, the Anfield hierarchy will need to move swiftly and decisively in the market. Our View – Anfield Index Analysis From a Liverpool fan's perspective, this feels like the start of a full reset. Díaz leaving for Bayern is logical in terms of business, but emotionally, it hurts. He gave us moments of brilliance, particularly when we were short of inspiration, and there's a sense of unfinished business given the injuries and system changes that hampered him. There's also concern about the volume of outgoings. Losing Diogo Jota was heartbreaking. Now with Díaz going and Darwin Núñez expected to follow, the attack that once terrified Europe is being dismantled. If Elliott goes too, we are looking at a complete rebuild under a new manager in his first Premier League season. Yes, Alexander Isak would be a huge statement signing. But that doesn't change the fact that we'll be missing Díaz's dribbling, directness and energy in the left channel. Isak is a different kind of player, and Slot will need to adjust tactically. What's worrying is the timing. We're just weeks from the new season, and our attack is threadbare. Fans will back the manager, but the owners and new sporting structure must show real ambition now. Selling Díaz is acceptable if it leads to smart, fast reinvestment. If not, the project risks starting on the back foot.
