Under the title "Domino's Pizza Apologizes After Meal Offending Italy and England," Sky News reported that the "Domino's Pizza" restaurant chain was compelled to issue an apology after a tweet from a follower considered one of the restaurant's products to be "an insult to both Italy and England."
It appears that a branch of "Domino's Pizza" in Japan attempted to keep up with current events by announcing a new pizza topped with fish and chips. Pizza is an Italian dish, while fish and chips are most popular in England. It is noteworthy that the national teams of both countries faced off in the European Championship final on Sunday, which Italy won on penalties.
With the introduction of the pizza topped with fish and chips, one follower deemed it "a dish that insults both Italy and England," arguing that it is neither an authentic pizza nor a genuine fish and chips meal.
This caused a significant uproar online, leading to the official account of "Domino's Pizza" in Japan apologizing following the follower's tweet. The official account responded by saying: "We apologize that our fish and chips pizza caused so much trouble. We personally think it’s very delicious. If you’re in Japan and want to take on the challenge, let us know." They added, addressing the original tweeter: "We may be able to arrange things so we can serve it to you for free."
