A viral pizza trend on TikTok gained the curiosity of Domino’s Pizza Australia last week, and the company decided to try the recipe out for itself.
The pizza chain posted a video to TikTok in which it tested the watermelon pizza in its own corporate kitchen and was ultimately not a fan of the creation.
The recipe that Domino’s Australia used came from Oliver Paterson, a social media star who posted the video of himself making the bizarre watermelon pizza. Paterson’s video making the fruit-based pizza netted over 3.4 million views, inspiring Domino’s Australia to recreate the fruit, cheese, and meat concoction.
“It turned out so great in the end,” Paterson stated in his video. “And you’ve got to give it a go for yourself.”

The pizza company uploaded a short video in which uniformed Domino’s employees top off a round slice of melon with raw cheese and pepperoni before throwing it in the oven.
“Nah fr when we saw @elburritomonster make a watermelon pizza, we HAD to give it a go,” Domino’s Australia wrote in its video.
While the pizza initially looked pretty good out of the oven, the chain reported that the experimental meal was “an acquired taste.”
However, some users noted that Domino’s stuck with traditional tomato sauce despite Paterson’s claim that barbecue sauce works better with watermelon.

Paterson has posted several other cooking videos on his TikTok channel, El Burrito Monster. These videos include making garlic mushrooms, stuffed crust burritos, and pizza burgers.
TikTok has grown to monumental popularity in recent years. The app was downloaded over 2 billion times as of April 2020 and is still the most downloaded app of 2021.
