The American pizza is sure to clog more than a few arteries; the toppings include two [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hacked-menu-items) cheeseburgers, a six piece box of chicken McNuggets and a medium-sized box of fries all covered with cheese. Also using a store-bought [pizza crust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toppers-pizza-pan-pizza) and tomato sauce, the American pizza is an easily-recreated food concoction. Try it at your own risk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Heart Attack-inducing Food:** Opportunity to create and market extreme, indulgent food creations that push the boundaries of unhealthy eating. - **Fast Food Mashups:** Opportunity to combine popular fast food items from different chains to create unique flavor combinations. - **Gourmet Junk Food:** Opportunity to elevate and upscale traditionally unhealthy food items through premium ingredients and artful presentation. ### Where This Applies - **Fast Food:** Opportunity for fast food chains to collaborate and create limited-edition menu items featuring over-the-top toppings. - **Food Delivery Services:** Opportunity for on-demand food delivery services to partner with fast food chains and offer exclusive, indulgent menu items for a premium price. - **Food Tourism:** Opportunity for food tourism companies to create themed tours and experiences centered around extravagant fast food creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fried Chicken Burger Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fried-chicken-burger-pizza.md) - [Holiday-Ready Burger-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toppers-cheeseburger-pizza.md) - [Hybrid Burger-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-joint-pizza.md) - [Heavily-Topped Burger Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunt-brothers-pizza-cheeseburger-pizza.md) - [Topping-Heavy Pizza Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/best-34.md) - [Burger-Inspired Pizza Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-pizzas.md) - [Crust-to-Crust Topping Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-pepperoni-pizza.md) - [American Cuisine Pizza Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allamerican-summer-menu.md) - [Burger-Inspired Pizza Slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeseburger-melt.md)
