Chip chip hooray! Say goodbye to soggy chips and hello to DOMINO’S NEW Crispy Chips

Driving on Thru: ZARRAFFA’S Opens in Maryborough

In a bid to solve one of the food delivery industry’s most crushing customer experiences, Domino’s has today unveiled its solution to soggy chips - Australia’s first ever Crispy Chips with Pizza Salt designed to be delivered.

Domino’s new and improved Crispy Chips are the next step in the Company’s evolution of Oven Baked Chips; with the Crispy Chip tried and tested to withstand travel, maintain temperature and the same level of crunch you’d expect on Pick Up – except delivered, straight to your door!

Domino’s ANZ Chief Marketing Officer Allan Collins said Domino’s had ‘cracked the code on crunch’.

“We’ve all been there, waiting to receive a delivery of hot chips, only to open the box and be disappointed yet again by wet, soggy potato with no crunch, and even less flavour,” Mr Collins said.

“The end result is a Crispy Chip that holds its heat and texture during the delivery process, so that when it arrives to the customer, they receive exactly what they ordered – Crispy Chips!”

The best part? Domino’s new Crispy Chips with Pizza Salt are available nationwide for just $6.50 delivered.

Here to redefine ‘fry-day’ nights, elevate your afternoon snack game, and make your taste buds tango with delight – Domino’s new Crispy Chips with Pizza Salt are simply ‘the chip’.
