For many people, a pizza is not complete without meaty toppings such as [pepperoni and bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperoni-grilled-chicken-and-bacon-pizza). This dish offers an even more indulgent option for pizza-loving carnivores. The new Epic Meatz Pizza offers a slightly different take on the traditional [meat lover's pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-pie-crust-pizza) by adding five different kinds of meat. The new dish comes on a traditional hand-tossed crust that is covered in tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. What truly sets this dish apart is the addition of pepperoni, Italian meatballs, Canadian bacon, Italian sausage and hickory-smoked bacon. The indulgent Epic Meatz Pizza is now available at all Papa John's locations in the US. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Meat-lover's Pizza:** Opportunity for pizza chains to create innovative pizzas with unique and indulgent combinations of meat toppings. - **Indulgent Fast Food:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fast food restaurants to cater to customers looking for indulgent and meat-heavy options. - **Differentiated Pizza Offerings:** Opportunity for pizza chains to differentiate themselves by offering unique and exciting pizza toppings beyond the traditional options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Pizza Chains:** Opportunity for pizza chains to capitalize on the growing demand for indulgent meat toppings by introducing unique and innovative meat-heavy pizza options. - **Fast Food Restaurants:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fast food restaurants to attract carnivorous customers seeking indulgent, meat-centric menu items. - **Food Delivery Services:** Opportunity for food delivery services to partner with pizza chains and fast food restaurants to offer carnivore-approved pizzas and indulgent meat-heavy options for delivery. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crust-to-Crust Topping Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-pepperoni-pizza.md) - [Meaty Flavored Crust Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/5-meat-easy-crazy-crust-pizza.md) - [Pepperoni-Filled Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-pepperoni-stuffed-crust-pizza.md) - [Triple-Pepperoni Topping Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepperoni-pepperoni-pepperoni-pizza.md) - [Artisan Triple-Meat Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-pepperoni-pizza.md) - [Savory Cheese-Seasoned Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garlic-5cheese-crust-pizza.md) - [Abundant Pepperoni Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triple-pepp.md) - [Artisanal Triple-Meat Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/di-fara-pizza-three-meat.md) - [Garlic Parmesan Pizza Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-stuffed-crust-1.md)
