Domino’s Malaysia brings back a much loved Malaysian favourite with a richer, bolder sambal experience, especially as Malaysians come together to celebrate Merdeka. KUALA LUMPUR, 24 August 2026 – Malaysia is a country where different cultures, traditions and flavours come together at the same table.

And with Merdeka around the corner, there is no better time to celebrate a flavour that brings Malaysians together. Inspired by this shared love, Domino’s has brought back its much loved Sambal Pizza, now New & Improved with a spicier, richer, bolder Sambal flavor with a stronger kick, richer umami and irresistibly addictive cr...
