The Domino's Crispizzaburger has been added to the brand's menu in Japan as part of the brand's revamping of its lunchtime options to help satisfy increased interest in satisfying, low cost meal varieties. The menu item starts off with a crispy pizza crust that's paired with a variety of toppings before being folded and topped with parmesan cheese and baked. The sandwich-style item is thus part pizza, sandwich and burger to give it a familiar taste and texture, but with a decidedly fresh perspective.
The Domino's Crispizzaburger comes in three flavors including Teriyaki Cheese, Garlic Bacon Cheese and Double Cheese Beef, which each come with a side priced at 790 yen. The menu items are, however, only available until 4pm and for takeout to accommodate lunchtime and afternoon snacking occasions.
