News: Domino's - New Handmade Pan Pizza

Starting tomorrow, Domino's goes straight at rival Pizza Hut with a new Handmade Pan Pizza crust option. Why the "Handmade" prefix? The new pizza crust will be made from fresh dough in-stores. Apparently, according to USA Today, some Pizza Hut locations use frozen dough for their pan pizzas, so Domino's will be playing up that angle.

Additionally, the new pan pizza promises "toppings all the way to the edge," "crispy golden crust and a buttery taste," and "2 layers of real cheese in every bite."

The move is a pretty big one as Domino's hasn't offered a pan pizza in a long time; previously, the closest offered crust was the Ultimate Deep Dish which I consider to be a pan pizza, but comes at a premium (Note: the Handmade Pan Pizza replaces the Ultimate Deep Dish... Usurped!). 

The other Big Three pizza chain, Papa John's, does not currently offer a pan pizza, but has offered the option in the past.

Domino's Handmade Pan Pizza will be offered starting tomorrow at a promotional price of $7.99 for a 2-topping medium-sized pizza.
