Domino’s Taiwan has taken things to the next step and offered a new boba dessert pizza. The next big food to fill everyone’s tummies and Instagram timelines features a soft, cheesy bread crust topped with even chewier black pearls, mochi balls, and drizzled with honey and brown sugar syrup.
Previous boba-infused food experiments have been met with confusion and even disgust such as the boba beer, boba ramen, boba mooncakes, and the notorious boba fries.
However, Taiwan’s boba-loving population seem to be fans of Domino’s Brown Sugar Boba Pizza with many admiring its ‘Q’ or “chewy” texture, a mark of well-cooked boba pearls.
The boba pizza will only be served for a limited time until the end of Nov 2019, so curious tourists and boba enthusiasts alike are rushing to get a taste.
Twitter user Lev Nachman tried out the boba pizza for himself and was surprised by how much he liked it.
“They nailed it. Not joking, everyone here needs to try this. The pizza is savory, but it’s sweetened with honey on top, the boba aren’t mushy, and the whole thing is 超級 Q af,” Nachman tweeted.
