The Pizza Cupcake is a cupcake-shaped savory treat that can be found in the frozen pizza section of grocery stores. Currently, only the brand's Pepperoni flavor can be found at retail locations and the Margherita variety is available online.
These savory snacks are made with a hybrid of brioche and sourdough and a filling that includes traditional pizza toppings like cheese and tomatoes. The bite-sized pizza snacks "reimagine the classic pizza experience into a snack made with authentic Italian ingredients" and they promise to be just as enjoyable as afterschool bites as they are evening snacks and easy entertaining appetizers.
The compact and convenient snacks deconstruct a favorite comfort food and offer a much smaller format than classic pies or even other popular formats such as handheld pizza pockets.
