Oh, it’s on like Donkey Kong!

With the introduction of Domino’s Handmade Pan Pizza, we’ve just entered Pizza War II. Or it could be Pizza War III, I’m really not keeping track. With their new pan pizza, they’re trying to do what Pizza Hut has been doing for decades — make a pizza with a crispy golden crust that has a buttery flavor.

In a press release, Patrick Doyle, Domino’s Pizza president and chief executive officer, said, “There is a standard out there for pan pizza that we realized could be better.”

Oh snap! Pizza Hut burn!

The new Domino’s Handmade Pan Pizza are made from fresh, never-frozen dough and features two layers of cheese and toppings. To celebrate the new pan pizza, Domino’s is offering a medium two-topping Handmade Pan Pizza for $7.99 each at participating locations.

Pei Wei Asian Diner, P.F. Chang’s fast casual sister, will start offering their new Sriracha Chicken on October 8. To promote the spicy chicken dish, Pei Wei has put up a special website detailing how the dish was developed.

Now before you sriracha sauce fans get excited, you should know that the sauce they used isn’t the Rooster Sauce we all know, love, and burn our taste buds with. Instead, Pei Wei’s chefs flew to Thailand, a place filled with sriracha sauces we all don’t know and don’t love, to create their own sriracha sauce.

According to the Pei Wei’s Sriracha Chicken website, the dish will also feature pineapples, tomatoes, and Chinese long beans.

Austrian McDonald’s restaurants will be offering two noodle dishes called McNoodles starting this week for a limited time.

The noodle entrees are made up of noodles, vegetables, chicken, and either a sweet and sour or curry sauce. McNoodles will cost 4.99 euros ($6.56 US).

If McNoodles are successful, we could eventually see them in the U.S., much like McDonald’s McWraps, which were originally sold in European and South American locations, and are now being tested in Chicago.

If any of our Austrian readers (I know there are a few) try McNoodles, let us know what you think of the dish in the comments below.

According to Grub Grade, the Golden Arches is testing a new breakfast sandwich that might appeal to those looking for healthier options beyond McDonald’s oatmeal, fruit parfait, and fruit & walnut salad. It’s called the Egg White Delight and it has 260 calories, which is just 40 less than a regular Egg McMuffin.

I could write more about it in normal paragraph form, but its name is begging it to be explained using the following song lyrics:

Thinking of you’s working up my appetite
Looking forward to a little Egg White Delight
A whole grain muffin, Canadian bacon, cheddar and an egg white
and the thought of eatin’ you is getting so exciting

Egg McMuffin Lite
Egg White Delight

A long time ago KFC offered a chicken sandwich called Chicken Littles at all their locations. Then only a few restaurants offered them. Then they disappeared. Before they disappeared, KFC Chicken Littles fans got mad and started petitions and Facebook fan pages to get KFC to bring them back.

Well, all their petitioning and Facebook liking paid off because KFC has brought back the Chicken Littles…sort of.

Actually, the new Chicken Littles aren’t like the old Chicken Littles, and that has people upset. Instead they’re more like KFC Snackers. So I expect more petitioning and Facebook fan page making to bring back the original Chicken Littles.

These updated Chicken Littles have an Extra Crispy Strip, pickle slices, KFC’s signature Colonel’s Mayo (Wait, KFC has signature mayo?), and a sweet bun. The chicken strip is made of 100 percent all-white breast meat chicken. Yes, the sandwich is small, but it’s got a price to match at $1.29.
