The Domino’s Bacon Shake is being offered at participating locations in Japan as a decidedly meaty, creamy take on the classic milkshake for patrons to pair with any of their favorite pizza recipes.
The shake comes in a regular version and a whipped cream version, which are both characterized by their ice cream flavor with bacon bits for a sweet yet salty flavor. The milkshake also acts as a dipping sauce by encouraging patrons to dip a slice of their pizza into it for an unexpected new flavor and texture experience.
The Domino’s Bacon Shake is priced starting at 680 yen and is a limited edition menu item that will only be available through March 5, 2023.
