Just as the name alludes to, Cal'z Hot Dog is a cross between a hot dog wiener and a [stuffed calzone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calic-bagels). Basically, the dish consists of mozzarella cheese, sliced hot dog bits, and a yellow mustard filling that's then wrapped in a layer of dough and baked until crisp. If that sounds like a little too much dough for you, you can also pick up the new Hot Dog Pizza, which is made with a yellow mustard sauce base, topped with crispy onions, sausages, pickles, mozzarella cheese, a drizzle of BBQ sauce, and, of course, a [hot dog-stuffed crust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-pie-crust-pizza). To get your hands on these over-the-top American pizza creations, you'll have to head to Domino's France before they disappear from the menu.
