10. Kobe Beef Steak Pizza – $66

You're going to hear about gold flakes being laid atop the ingredients on some of the following pizzas, but this one does not have that kind of extravagance. It is kind of basic, comparatively, but it's still a lot more than a regular Dominoes pizza restaurant. At $66, it would be considered quite expensive, but it's because it's made with Kobe beef and it's sold at, yes, Dominoes, however, only in Japan. It's considered to be a luxury pizza, and apparently the cows that provide the beef, are said to actually be fed beer, and then they are given massages in order to achieve a marbled meat that is more juicy and tender than other beef. Along with the Kobe beef, potatoes and onions are on this pie and it is a popular choice for customers.

The unique difference with this pizza, that is in Japan, is the layers of crust and what is between the layers. It is a tri-tiered crusted pizza where delicious cheeses can be found tucked inside.
