Milky Lane x Crust: Two cult classics combine in new fast-food collaboration

Four new menu items are about to drop as part of a “mouth-watering” collaboration between two Aussie fast-food favourites.

Crust Pizza has teamed up with burger chain Milky Lane to combine two of the world’s most crave-worthy foods.

The unlikely combination came about after new consumer research – conducted by the two fast food giants – revealed that 46 per cent of people found it “difficult” to choose between burgers or pizza for their next meal.

“We’re always looking to push the boundaries with what we bring to our Milky fans, and we couldn’t think of a better way than whipping up a dream collab with an iconic brand like Crust,” Milky Lane founder Christian Avant said.

“We both have shared values around bringing the best, most delicious food to our customers, so it was a no-brainer to collaborate to bring something new to the table,” Crust Pizza marketing manager Alana Wilson said.

There are four new menu items available at both stores nationwide from next week.
