The comfort food collab you didn't see coming
Pizza. Ribs. What could go wrong?
Tex-Mex, rodeos and Simone Biles; the Southern States are great at producing icons.
To celebrate all things in the Southern USA, Crust Pizza has teamed up with Rack’em Bones BBQ Ribs to deliver pizzas inspired by the flavours of a Tennessee smokehouse.
It's the perfect combo; pizza connoisseurs who know how to make the perfect crust, and rib specialists who serve up 1.5 tonnes of ribs a week across 100 locations in Australia.
The Crust x Rack’em Bones BBQ Ribs collab is a nod to the American-style “low-and-slow” barbeque trend that cooks meat slowly over a low heat to produce tender, melt-in-your-mouth meats.
There are three limited edition pizzas as part of the collaboration, and they all have a new "Tomatoque” sauce base; a fusion of tomato and BBQ sauce.
The Tennessee Pork ‘n Apple is topped with Tennessee pulled pork, smokehouse corn, caramelised onion, shallots and mozzarella, and is finished with fresh green apple and jalapeno relish.

The Rackems Brisket and Pineapple pizza is loaded with sticky sweet beef brisket, hot honey bacon bites, brown onion, pineapple and mozzarella on a Tomatoque base, with added Hickory BBQ Sauce and shallots.
To really hammer home the Southern theme, the Hot Honey Chicken Royale is topped with Tennessee smokehouse chicken, dill Pickles, caramelised onion jam and mozzarella on a tomatoque base. It's drizzled with burger sauce, hot honey and then as the piece de resistance on top, there are two hot honey wings.
To celebrate the partnership, two new sides will also be added to the Rack’em Bones menu too; Peri Peri Wings and Peri Peri Chicken Loaded Chips will both be served with Crust Pizza’s famous Peri Peri sauce.
The limited edition pizzas are available at Crust Pizza until 8 October.
