REGIONAL PIZZA ROADTRIP.

In every corner of the U.S., pizza takes on a local flavor and style. Americans have transformed the universally loved food from its Neapolitan roots into regionally prized delights by adding their own special spin on crusts, toppings and ingredients. From the deep-dish pies of Chicago to the thin, crispy slices of New York, we’re taking a regional pizza roadtrip to explore all of the iconic regional pizza styles, and what makes each of them so unique!

TIPS FOR ADDING REGIONAL ‘ZA TO YOUR MENU.

Elevate your menu diversity and create exciting and engaging dining experiences by introducing regional pizza styles to your menu!

#1

AUTHENTIC IS BEST.

Authenticity is key when offering regional specialties. Be sure to use the most regionally authentic ingredients and equipment when preparing regional style pies – such as mozzarella cheese for New York style and a steel pan for Detroit.

#2

TECHNIQUE MATTERS.

Different regional pizzas require different preparation techniques, from dough kneading to topping order, to baking process. It’s important that your kitchen staff is trained in the proper techniques and methods to recreate regional styles.

#3

ADD AN EDUCATIONAL TOUCH.

Many regional styles are new for customers. Educate them on the origins and characteristics of the regional style(s) you’re serving through menu descriptions or trained staff who can share.

#4

LIMITED TIME OFFERS.

Test new regional styles as LTOs to gauge customer interest without fully committing. Plus, create excitement and urgency among customers, encouraging them to try your regional style pizza offering before it disappears!
