Domino's just dropped three new pizzas and Aussies are calling them the next best thing to Italy
Step aside, Euro Summer, Domino's is serving Italy by the slice. With everyone on Instagram currently sunning themselves in Positano, the rest of us have been left with nothing but a fading spray tan and a blocked Qantas notification to remind us of what could've been. But just when we thought winter in Australia couldn't get any bleaker, Domino's has delivered — literally. Launching its brand-new Italiano Range, Domino's is bringing the bold, comforting flavours of Italy straight to your couch. Imagine creamy Carbonara, spicy Diavola and hearty Bolognese, all layered with a game-changing cheese crumble that's baked in Italy for extra crunch and richness. Yes, the Italians may have gelato and Aperol spritz, but we've got pizza that tastes like Nonna made it. That is if Nonna worked in product development and had access to a pizza oven hotter than the Amalfi coast in July. The Italiano Range is available from Tuesday, 22 July for a limited time only, and starts at just $14 Pick Up. Each pizza is topped with Domino's signature stretchy mozzarella and the pièce de résistance: a golden-baked hard cheddar crumble sourced from Italy. It's the sort of indulgent upgrade that makes you want to cancel your Sunday roast and text your friends 'Pizza night?' Here's what's on the menu: Diavola Pizza Pepperoni lovers, this one's for you. With crispy slices, juicy olives and a fiery kick of chilli flakes, this spicy combo turns the heat right up. A garlic and tomato base ties it all together, giving major woodfired pizzeria energy, without the price tag. Bolognese Pizza It's giving spag bol, but make it pizza. Seasoned beef meets gooey mozzarella and layers of rich sauce, finished with a sprinkle of oregano. A perfect pick for anyone who wants to wrap themselves in a doona and eat something that tastes like childhood memories. Carbonara Pizza This one is pure decadence. A crème fraîche base is topped with crispy bacon, mushrooms, three types of cheese and spring onion. It's a creamy, cheesy situation that might just be the best thing to happen to your winter dinners. Nostalgia and Pure Flavour Allan Collins, Domino's ANZ Chief Marketing Officer, says the range is about comfort, nostalgia and pure flavour. 'Aussies have grown up loving these Italian-inspired dishes and now they can enjoy them in a whole new way, with a delicious Domino's twist,' he said. Michael Tracey, Domino's ANZ Head of New Product Development and Innovation, added that the range might just be their most indulgent yet. 'These aren't your Nonna's traditional recipes, but we think she just might approve!' cheesy trio is built for sharing, but good luck letting go of that last slice.

Domino's just dropped a meat pie pizza crust and it's pure Aussie chaos in the best way
We all know footy season brings out the best in Aussie snacks, sausage rolls, party pies, maybe a cheeky pizza if the game's going well (or terribly). But this year, Domino's has lobbed a wild one straight through the goalposts, teaming up with Four'N Twenty to drop what might be the most chaotic and genius idea in fast food history: the Meat Pie Crust Pizza. Yes, it's real. Yes, it's glorious. And it's only $3 extra. You can wrap your favourite Domino's pizza in mini meat pies. Not just any meat pies, Four'N Twenty's golden, flaky classics filled with 100 per cent Aussie beef, nestled right into the crust. It's nostalgic, indulgent, and has 'don't talk to me, I'm watching the game' energy written all over it. Let's be honest: Aussies have always had a thing for mashing up food traditions. So, turning a pizza into a pie party? It actually makes perfect sense. Domino's ANZ Chief Marketing Officer, Allan Collins, calls it a 'game-day power play', and he's not wrong. 'We've taken two of Australia's most iconic game-day staples and fused them into something truly unique,' Collins says. 'This is the kind of pizza dreams are made of.' But they didn't stop there. The whole collab is basically a starting lineup of elite footy snacks, with something for every level of hunger. Here's what else is on the Domino's-Four'N Twenty menu this season: The My Footy Box Pizza, pies, chips. What more do you want? This is the MVP of meal deals.

Perfect for solo snacking or sharing with your loudest mate. Mini Meat Pies 4 Pack The ultimate sideline snack. Golden, flaky, and straight-up delicious. Each four-pack comes with mini Four'N Twenty beef pies and a hit of tomato sauce, ready to back up your main game-day meal. Crispy on the outside, nostalgic on the inside. Warning: not for the faint-hearted. Domino's has turned the sauce levels up to 11 with this range. Choose from Mega Meatlovers, Ranch Supreme, Atomic Meats, Carnivore, or Mango Habanero Chicken. These saucy bad boys are bursting with flavour and absolutely packed with toppings. It's like your favourite pizza got a cheeky attitude upgrade. Whether you're in it for the meat pie crust, the fully loaded boxes or just the novelty of saying, 'I ate a pie pizza,' Domino's has officially raised the bar on footy food.

Domino's most exciting collaboration yet: Pizza with a meat pie crust
It's the season for comfort food and two iconic Aussie favourites are joining forces in what might be the boldest food mashup of the year. Domino's and Four'N Twenty have teamed up to deliver a game-day special that's set to send tastebuds into overdrive: The Meat Pie Crust Pizza. In a move that celebrates classic footy culture and Aussie comfort food, this limited-time creation offers something entirely new – and entirely nostalgic. Landing just in time for the thick of footy season, the Meat Pie Crust Pizza has just launched and promises to be a stand out snack for sports fans across the country. For just a $3 upgrade, customers can transform their favourite Domino's pizza into a meat pie celebration, thanks to a crust lined with mini Four'N Twenty pies. Each pie is filled with 100 per cent Australian beef, wrapped in golden flaky pastry, and baked directly into Domino's signature dough. Customers can finish it off with a squeeze of classic tomato sauce for that true stadium-snack finish. According to Domino's ANZ Chief Marketing Officer Allan Collins, the partnership was a natural fit, bringing together two staples of the Aussie game-day experience. He describes the pizza as a fusion of footy favourites, reimagined for the modern snacker. For Aussies who grew up with meat pies in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other, the new crust is more than a novelty — it's a nostalgic upgrade to tradition. But the Meat Pie Crust is just the start of what Domino's and Four'N Twenty are calling a full footy feast. Among the new additions is My Footy Box, a hearty twist on the original My Domino's Box. It includes a mini pepperoni pizza, two Four'N Twenty mini pies, classic tomato sauce, and a serve of seasoned chips, designed for those who want it all. Also hitting the menu is the Mini Meat Pies 4 Pack, featuring four oven-baked Four'N Twenty mini beef pies with tomato sauce, ideal for sharing — or not. Anand Surujpal, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Patties Food Group, says the collaboration is about more than just combining two favourites. 'It's a celebration of Aussie flavours, shared memories, and the kind of fun, inventive food experiences that Australians have come to love. '
