Customers can no longer buy the Ultimate Chicken Mexicana Pizza, which was first unveiled in 2023.
Eaters could get a small for £10, medium for £12 or large for £14 as part of the chain's Price Slice deal.
The menu option combined spiced pulled chicken, juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, spicy jalapenos and green and red peppers, topped with a spiced mayo drizzle.
However, Domino's has now confirmed it has been dropped from menus.
A spokesperson said: "The incredibly popular Ultimate Chicken Mexicana Pizza has been removed from the national Domino's menu.
"Despite its popularity, we're always looking to make room for more deliciousness.
"In this case, it's to welcome the return of our Double Choc Caramel Cookies as well as another exciting product we'll be revealing next week."
News the pizza has been dropped from menus will no doubt leave shoppers distraught.
One recently asked on X: "Hi, have you discontinued The Ultimate Chicken Mexicana pizza?
"Was my favourite and hope it comes back."

Others who loved the slice will be fuming to hear it's been discontinued as well, with one branding it "unreal" when it first launched.
Another recently posted on X: "That new Ultimate Chicken Mexicana looks banging."
Meanwhile another commented: "The new Ultimate Chicken Mexicana is quite good tbf."
OTHER DISCONTINUED ITEMS
It's common practice for retailers and chains to discontinue products based on customer demand and sales.
Greggs recently exclusively revealed to The Sun the Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite had been dropped from menus.
But, the bakery chain said it was to make way for the new Roast Chicken Salad Roll, which launched in May.
Meanwhile, Tesco also recently confirmed it had axed its own-brand beef sausages.
It came after Tesco confirmed it axed popular southern fried chicken flavour instant noodles.
The pack costed around 50p, but was dropped and replaced with another chicken flavour shoppers could buy.
Tesco also recently cut its own-brand tomato and basil soup from its chilled range.
The Sun exclusively revealed last month Cadbury's axed Fry's Coffee Cream after first launching it in 2023 too.
Why are products axed or recipes changed?
ANALYSIS by chief consumer reporter James Flanders.
Food and drinks makers have been known to tweak their recipes or axe items altogether.
They often say that this is down to the changing tastes of customers.
There are several reasons why this could be done.
For example, government regulation, like the "sugar tax," forces firms to change their recipes.
Some manufacturers might choose to tweak ingredients to cut costs.
They may opt for a cheaper alternative, especially when costs are rising to keep prices stable.
For example, Tango Cherry disappeared from shelves in 2018.
It has recently returned after six years away but as a sugar-free version.
Fanta removed sweetener from its sugar-free alternative earlier this year.
Suntory tweaked the flavour of its flagship Lucozade Original and Orange energy drinks.
While the amount of sugar in every bottle remains unchanged, the supplier swapped out the sweetener aspartame for sucralose.

Monzo to take on Tesco and Asda with mobile phone service
Monzo is exploring harnessing its brand to offer a mobile phone service to its 12 million-plus account holders. The online bank is in talks with mobile operators about using one of their networks to offer a Monzo-branded service. Such a tie-up would put the company in competition with a number of other so-called mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), including Tesco, Asda, Sky and giffgaff. Monzo has already expanded its product range to include pensions, investments and insurance, but this would be one of its first forays outside financial services. 'Monzo is known for transforming products — and an entire industry — to deliver a great experience for customers,' a spokesperson said. 'So when we heard from our customers that mobile contracts can be a pain point, we set out to explore how we could do this the Monzo way.' The development is understood to be at an early stage with no launch date yet set. MVNOs have no physical masts or infrastructure, but buy wholesale access to the system from one of the three incumbents: the BT-owned EE, Virgin Media 02 or Vodafone Three. They then package up offerings, choosing their own service mix and pricing. • Is it game over for Britain's challenger banks? Tesco Mobile is reportedly the biggest MVNO, with as many as five million customers. Monzo plans to offer a more attractive service after listening to common complaints about mobile phone package suppliers by clients on its own community pages. Other digital finance suppliers are poised to enter the market, with Revolut and Klarna both aiming to offer mobile services. Octopus, the energy supplier, is also examining a mobile offering, according to the Financial Times, which first reported Monzo's interest. Monzo, founded in 2015, is one of the fastest-growing digital banks in Britain, with customer numbers growing by 2.4 million to more than 12 million in the year to March. Revenues were up by 48 per cent to £1.2 billion in the same period, with deposits pushing through the £16 billion mark. Underlying profits grew eightfold to £114 million. • Community Fibre eyes mobile market launch to rival big networks It has already launched tie-ups with other providers, forming an alliance with BlackRock to sell a range of exchange-traded funds — low-cost investment products. Other tie-ups include contents insurance using Chubb and travel insurance using Zurich. As a branchless bank, most of Monzo's customers use mobile phones to go into their accounts. The Financial Conduct Authority fined the bank £21 million last month for a string of weaknesses in safeguards to prevent money laundering over a period of almost four years up to June 2022 — failings now 'firmly in the past', Monzo said.

Iconic 80s retro sweets back spotted on shelves for 31p over 27 years after being discontinued
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ICONIC retro sweet has been spotted on supermarket shelves for the first time in over 27 years. The beloved 1980s classic costs just 31p to buy and was infamously discontinued by its manufacturer years ago. 4 Fans have spotted packs of Opal Fruits in stores Credit: Facebook 4 The sweet treat was spotted on Tesco's shelves Credit: Alamy 4 Opal Fruits were renamed to Starbursts Credit: Sainsbury's Opal Fruits were one of the nation's most popular sweets. The soft, fruit-flavoured taffy products first hit the market in 1959 and came in a range of delicious flavours. Each pack contained blackcurrant, lemon and lime, orange and strawberry treats. However, The Wrigley Company - the products manufacturer - changed the name of the product to the iconic Starburst. Now, Opal Fruits are only available in their original packaging as special edition promotions. And, after 27 years, they're back on the shelves again. One eagle-eyed shopper took to Facebook to announce the product's return. According to him, the snacks are retailing for just 31p. The shopper wrote: 'Bargain find in Tesco's, 31p, reduced to clear, not sure all of them are at the price.' One excited shopper commented that the sweet treats were 'made to make your mouth water'. Walkers launches two new permanent crisp flavours in UK stores for first time in decades Another raved: 'Opal fruits….I loved them!' The news comes just days after Aldi went viral for bringing back a classic sweet treat from its customers' childhoods. The budget retailer is selling Fruit Chewy Candy bars for just 95p and they come in a variety of flavours. Available in three varieties - namely Raspberry, Cherry and Grapefruit - each pack contains six strips of sour chew candy. Fans of the sweet went wild on social media when their return was announced. One said: "Oh my god I haven't eaten them since I was a child! They are amazing!" Another added: "Please if you ever see these, I will give you the money for 10 packets, I haven't seen these since I was a child."
