Domino's is always looking for inventive new pizza formats and its new Calzini may be one of its more creative yet.
The Calzini is essentially a mini take on a classic calzone. Like any other calzone, the Calzini features dough folded over classic pizza toppings and baked until golden brown. What makes the Calzini unique is that it's significantly smaller than a traditional clazone, which makes it a perfect snack, appetizer, or light meal. The Calzini was invented by Domino's in Germany and has now rolled out across much of the country.
Currently, the Calzini is only available from Domino's locations in Germany, but eagle-eyed fans should keep an eye out to see if the palm-sized pizzas eventually make their way across the pond.
