Over at Domino's France, two iconic American dishes are about to collide in the form of what's been dubbed the 'Cal'z Hot Dog.'
Just as the name alludes to, Cal'z Hot Dog is a cross between a hot dog wiener and a stuffed calzone. 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.
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.
