Domino’s
A pizza so popular it sold out in days last year…but will this year’s version be a sell-out hit?
Special religious ceremony adds the essence of Japanese love deities to chain’s heart-shaped pizzas.
“Ultimate collaboration between pizza and Japanese food” comes in seven mouthwatering varieties.
Dinner and dessert together in one pizza–great for convenience but is it great for flavour?
The special “mask discount” aims to support people suffering from colds and hay fever at this time of year.
While it may seem like chocolate is the main product on offer in shops and restaurants in Japan this time of year, Valentine’s Day apparently isn’t just all about chocolate. If you don’t have a sweet-tooth, how would you like to try this lovely Valentine’s offering from Domino’s Japan? Yes, it’s Japan’s very own, heart-shaped Valentine’s pizza, and as far as we can tell, the treat looks sure to be tasty, even if it’s not chocolate!
Whether you love it or hate it, Japanese pizza exists. McDonald’s manages to provide homesick foreigners in Japan with a similar (and arguably better) product from back home, but somewhere along the line, chain pizza stores in Japan got it all wrong. We’re sure there are those who enjoy the typical Japanese-style pizza, but after reading through internet forums of hungry foreigners, those who joyfully eat a slice from Japan are in the minority.
Let’s take a look at 10 pizzas that can be purchased in Japan, some sprinkled with corn, others topped with seaweed and many of them drenched in mayonnaise, so much mayonnaise!
