If you thought you’d seen it all when it comes to pizza, think again. Domino’s has just unveiled a creation that’s as uniquely Aussie as it gets: the meat pie stuffed crust pizza.
Yes, you read that right. The humble meat pie—already a national icon—has now found its way into the very edge of your pizza slice, thanks to a collaboration with Four’N Twenty.
It’s a culinary mash-up that’s sure to spark debate at dinner tables (and footy nights) across the country.
For those who find the crust the least exciting part of a pizza, this new offering is a game-changer. Instead of the usual doughy end, you’re rewarded with a mini meat pie—complete with flaky pastry and savoury filling.
It’s a surprise twist that’s sure to delight some and baffle others. But isn’t that what makes food fun? The unexpected, the bold, the downright bizarre.
This latest invention got us reminiscing about Domino’s long history of pushing the pizza envelope. Over the years, they’ve served up some truly memorable (and sometimes divisive) creations.
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of the wildest, wackiest, and most beloved Domino’s innovations.
Cheesy Vegemite crust
Who could forget the Cheesy Vegemite crust? Back in 2021, Domino’s gave us a pizza topped with gooey mozzarella and a generous swirl of Vegemite—a combination that’s as polarising as pineapple on pizza.
But years before, they’d already experimented with a Vegemite-infused crust. For many, it was ‘absolute GOD TIER food.’ One person still dreams about it a decade later.
There’s just something about the salty, umami hit of Vegemite paired with melty cheese that feels like a warm hug from home.
BBQ burst
Let’s rewind to 2005, when Domino’s first dipped its toes into the world of specialty crusts with the BBQ Burst. At the time, it was revolutionary: a tangy BBQ sauce sealed inside the base, giving every bite a smoky kick.
It might seem tame by today’s standards, but back then, it had pizza lovers lining up for a taste of something new.
Puff-ection
First introduced in 2006, the Puff-ection crust has made several comebacks, much to the delight of fans.
Imagine a perfectly crispy base topped with flaky, golden puff pastry at the edge—pure bliss for anyone who loves a bit of crunch with their slice. As one put it, ‘the best thing they ever did.’ Sometimes, the classics really are the best.
Cheesy crust
Still available today, the Cheesy Crust is a testament to the power of simplicity. It’s survived the test of time because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love a gooey, cheesy surprise at the end of their pizza?
It’s the edible equivalent of finding a $5 note in your jeans pocket—unexpected, but always welcome.
Double decadence
For those who believe there’s no such thing as too much cheese, the Double Decadence crust is a dream come true.
Most recently making a comeback in June 2024, this indulgent option features a layer of cheddar and parmesan sandwiched between two thin, crispy bases.
It’s rich, it’s luxurious, and it’s a cheese lover’s fantasy.
Why do we love these wild creations?
There’s something about novelty that keeps us coming back for more.
Whether it’s nostalgia, curiosity, or just the thrill of trying something new, these limited-edition pizzas tap into our sense of fun and adventure.
They’re conversation starters, party pleasers, and sometimes, just plain delicious.
Of course, not every experiment is a hit. For every Cheesy Crust, there’s a meat pie stuffed crust that leaves us scratching our heads. But that’s the beauty of it—food should be fun, and Domino’s isn’t afraid to take risks.
What’s next for pizza?
If history is any guide, we can expect even more outlandish creations in the future. Will we see a lamington dessert pizza? A Tim Tam-stuffed crust? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure: Domino’s will keep us guessing—and talking.
Now, over to you! Have you tried the new meat pie stuffed crust? What’s your all-time favourite Domino’s creation? Or is there a wild pizza idea you’re secretly hoping they’ll try next? Share your thoughts, memories, and pizza dreams in the comments below—we’d love to hear from you!
