Currently available from [Domino's Pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyprotein-dough) outlets across Australia, the new Pizza Dog is a mashup dish that kids and adults can both enjoy. As you might have guessed from the name, the Pizza Dog essentially consists of a Kransky-style hot dog wiener flanked by a pizza dough bun. The whole thing is then loaded with cheese sauce and baked in the oven until melty. The Pizza Dog can be ordered solo as a quick snack, or as a pair for something more filling. The hybrid dish also comes in a classic flavor, as well as double cheese, and cheese and bacon flavors. As Allan Collins, Domino's ANZ CMO, explains, "[Pizza Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pup-pizza) have to be one of my favorite new menu items that don't just offer a taste sensation but are also fantastic value for money."
