Pickles on pizza have been having a bit of a moment lately, but this new pie takes the trend to the extreme. The pizzas starts with Domino’s signature dough, adds a layer of Camembert cheese, and then tops the whole thing off with a layer of sliced dill pickles. Aptly described as a "dedication to pickle lovers," the new pizza is actually loaded up with a whopping 1.32 pounds of pickles. And if you're so inclined, you can add even more toppings for an extra fee. The new Pickle Pizza is available now for both pick-up and delivery, though it's only available in a 40-centimeter (15.7-inch) size, which is about the size of a large Domino’s pizza in the U.S. Image Credit: Domino's Japan, [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2023/7/dominos-japan-pickle-pizza-info), [dominos.jp](https://www.dominos.jp/en/menu-pizza/2541) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 17% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pickle Craze on Pizzas:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unique and unusual pizza toppings to cater to adventurous eaters. - **Extreme Flavor Combinations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with unconventional ingredient pairings to create bold and surprising taste experiences. - **Customizable Pizzas:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer a wide range of toppings and flavors to allow customers to customize their pizzas to their unique preferences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Restaurant Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with pizza chains to develop innovative and attention-grabbing pizza concoctions. - **Food Delivery Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with pizza delivery companies to offer exclusive and limited-time specialty pizzas. - **Food and Beverage Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new pizza toppings and ingredients that cater to evolving consumer tastes and preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creamy Pickle-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dominos-pickles-pizza.md) - [Premium Pickle-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pickle.md) - [Tangy Dill Pickle Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dickle.md) - [Ranch-Topped Pickle Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stoners-pizza-joint-pickle-pizza.md) - [Crispy Pickle-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dill-pickle-pizza.md) - [Pickle-Topped Ranch Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-pizza.md) - [Divisive Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-pickle-pizza.md) - [Co-Branded Pickle Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-time-pickle-pizza.md) - [Dill Pickle Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dill-pickle-flavored-crust.md)
