Major League Baseball is back and California Pizza Kitchen is celebrating with the launch of new Dodger Dog Pizza.
For those unfamiliar, a Dodger Dog is a hotdog named after the MLB team, the Los Angeles Dodgers. The famous hot dog is a 10-inch pork wiener wrapped in a fluffy steamed bun. Now, California Pizza Kitchen has managed to take the same flavor and transform it into a personal pizza. The new Dodger Dog Pizza starts with the brand’s original hand-tossed crust, which is topped with mozzarella, pepperoni, Dodger Dogs, arugula, red onion, and avocado. The whole thing s then finished with yellow mustard, sweet relish, and fried serrano – all of which are classic hot dog toppings.
The new Dodger Dog will be served on Thursday, April 14, 2022, while supplies last.
