The pizza giant has become hugely popular in the UK, opening more than 1,000 stores since their first in 1985.

But with independent pizza chains on the rise, the US giant is facing intense competition all over the world.

To combat this, they are introducing a huge 16-inch pizza, known as the New York slice.

Top 10 weirdest excuses to get out of a night out

 
Half of Brits (50%) admit to ditching their friends ahead of a night out in favour of a takeaway and a box set. If FOMO (fear of missing out) was 2015. JOMO (joy of missing out) is 2016. Dan Warne from Deliveroo said: "We’ve discovered that people all over the country are bailing on their social plans at the last minute, instead opting for a quiet night at home, in front of the TV. And the excuses we’re coming up with are pretty starling! “To celebrate the JOMO, we’re partnering with online video streaming service Wuaki.tv offering everyone who orders a Deliveroo meal on a Thursday a free movie to pair with their favourite food."

    Domino’s chief executive Don Meij said: “This is just this really large pizza – it literally just fits inside our hot boxes.

    “We need a new pan size for it, which the company has done for our franchisees and stores.”

    As well as its colossal size, the pizza will also contain three times the cheese, and eight foldable slices.

      He added: “We wanted to do a really authentic New Yorker, with eight large, foldable slices, really loaded with mozzarella cheese.

      “No one is really doing it on a national scale.

      “We’re really excited about it. It’s that time of year coming into Christmas, large catering orders.”

        Mr Meij added that he expected the pizzas to be especially popular with tourists returning from New York.

        Domino’s has rolled out the New York slice in Australia, but there is no word on if it is coming to the UK.
