Marvel's 'Infinity Wars' may have already lost it's title as "most ambitious crossover in history" as Four Star Pizza have teamed up with OffBeat doughnuts to create 'The Ponut' - a carefully crafted gem that took six months to perfect.

'Doughologists' say they've created the perfect blend that still tastes like a pizza but carries the soft texture of your classic ring pastry.

The Ponut is currently available with classic pizza topics (pepperoni, tomato, and cheese) but Four Star say they will play with different flavours if the project takes off.

Brian Clare of Four Star said the team wanted to make something "really special" to mark their 50th store opening.

He said: “Odd food pairings are a phenomenon that’ve been on the rise in recent years so to celebrate our 50 store opening we wanted to develop something really special between Four Star Pizza and Offbeat.

"With donuts fast becoming the sweet food trend of choice in Ireland, we felt the time was right to combine them with pizza, and create the seriously delicious and indulgent combination of flavours that is the ponut.”

Astonishingly, the company spent €1.2 million investing in machinery to punch holes in the pizza to make sure they are all the exact same size.

Both Four Star and OffBeat will be selling the combo in their stores from April 3rd.
