Dominos Australia welcomed the summer months on the continent with a gigantic pizza that was deemed undeliverable. The offering was introduced on social media with the tag of '#OfficialPizzaOfSummer.' It boasts four, differently flavored and "fully-loaded" quarters — one of a classic Pepperoni, the second one of Supreme, the third is the BBQ Meatlovers, and the final quarter boasts the Hawaiian.
There are a few consequences of the impracticality of this gigantic pizza offering. For one, delivery is unavailable, hence, za-lovers need to travel to a Dominos location to pick up their ambitious order. Secondly, participating locations are limited to only two orders daily and customers need to call a minimum of 24 hours ahead to order the gigantic pizza. It retails for an accessible price, however — $36 USD.
