The Cincy Pizza is a hometown-honoring pizza that starts with Cincinnati’s own Skyline Chili as a base. This sacy base is then covered in mozzarella, all beef kosher hot dogs, finely shredded cheese, a swirl of mustard, and a drizzle of hot sauce. The whole thing is also topped with oyster crackers to complete the chili-like experience. As Anne Mejia, Vice President of [Brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seafood-variety-packs) Development at Mellow Mushroom, explains, "Cincinnati is known for being one of the best foodie towns in America.
