Domino's has introduced a new Mediterranean-inspired Catalan Chicken & Chorizo pizza to its menu just in time for Valentine's Day, which it predicts will be one of its busiest of the year with over 300,000 pizzas expected to be ordered for the occasion.

The Catalan Chicken & Chorizo pizza is the latest food innovation from the nation's favourite pizzamaker and comes with a double portion of Catalan-style pulled chicken, chorizo, onions and peppers topped with a drizzle of sour cream and paprika sauce. It follows the recent menu additions of the Delight Chicken and Delight Vegi containing around 100kcal per slice, and the mind-blowing mash-up of the new Cheeseburger, which hit 1 million sales in just over two months. The dose of Mediterranean warmth follows calls from superfans for exciting flavour combinations and is one of the highest scoring pizzas in Domino's taste-test history. Domino's has worked relentlessly to ensure the Chorizo combo is available in every store nationwide just in time for Valentine's Day.Ian Straughan, Head of Food Innovation at Domino's, said: 'Valentine's Day is now one of our busiest occasions and we're predicting to sell 300,000 pizzas with around 500 orders a minute at the peak of 7pm. So whether it's some Mediterranean warmth or Pepperoni Passion you're after for Valentine's Day, we've got you covered!'
