Though [Hawaiian pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawaiian-vegan-pizza) is already a classic combo, Pieology is putting a bit of a different spin on the Island state's signature flavors. The new BBQ Luau Pizza starts with BBQ sauce and mozzarella cheese, topped with bacon, all natural chicken, sweet Del Monte pineapples, and crispy French’s Fried Onions. The result is a sweet and savory combination that pairs perfectly with your favorite dipping sauce. You also have the option to customize their crust by upgrading to a Gluten-Free Crust, Cauliflower Crust, or PieRise Thick Crust. The tasty new BBQ Luau Pizza is available at participating locations nationwide (except in Connecticut) beginning on August 3, 2021.
