McDonald's just brought a bunch of international menu items to Canada — and pizza is back (kind of)
McDonald's Canada's newest menu update is bringing international flavours to Canada. On Monday, the restaurant announced a new lineup of menu items inspired by McDonald's menu favourites around the world.
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.
