# Croissant Crust Pizzas Digiorno's Buttery, Flaky Pizza Crust Takes Cues from the Croissant By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-04-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flaky-pizza-crust References: [myrecipes](https://www.myrecipes.com/news/digiorno-croissant-crust-pizza) & [myrecipes](https://www.myrecipes.com/news/digiorno-croissant-crust-pizza) Digiorno is putting a creative spin on frozen pizzas with its newest creation, which boasts an especially flaky pizza crust inspired by croissants. The Digornio Croissant Crust pizza boasts a buttery, flaky crust and a classic four cheese combination: mozzarella, Parmesan, Asiago, and romano. While pizza crusts are typically only thought of as being thin and crispy, thick or stuffed, this variation in texture applies an almost dessert-like flaky crust to an unexpected yet favorite food. Following Dominique Ansel’s creation of the Cronut, tons of croissant-inspired food products have been developed, including crossovers that combine the properties of everything from tortillas and muffins to tacos. At a time when many people are staying home and stocking up on comforting frozen food, this new product puts an exciting twist on classic frozen pizza. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Croissant-inspired Food Products:** The popularity of croissant-inspired food products continues to rise, creating opportunities for innovative, unique food creations. - **Texture Variation in Traditional Foods:** Introducing unexpected texture variations to traditionally thin and crispy foods opens up opportunities for creative and indulgent flavor experiences. - **Comforting Frozen Foods with a Twist:** Adding exciting twists to classic frozen food favorites gives consumers new options for comforting meals at home. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Frozen Food Industry:** The frozen food industry can explore innovative flavor profiles and textures to cater to consumers seeking unique and indulgent experiences. - **Fast Food Industry:** Fast food chains have the chance to add croissant-inspired menu items that cater to consumer demand for novelty and indulgence. - **Bakery Industry:** Bakeries can capitalize on the popularity of croissant-inspired food products by expanding their offerings to include unique and creative pastries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stuffed Thin Crust Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffed-thin-crust-pizza.md) - [Pizza Crust Ice Cream Cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-crust-ice-cream-cone.md) - [Delicate Pastry-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-pizza.md) - [Croissant-Inspired Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-inspired-thin-crust-pizzas.md) - [Cheese-Packed Crust Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digiorno-fully-stuffed-crust-pizza.md) - [Thick Detroit-Style Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digiorno-detroit-style.md) - [Value-Conscious Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digiorno-classic-crust-pizza.md) - [Frozen Wood-Fired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digiorno-wood-fired-style-crust-pizza.md) - [Topping-Heavy Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fully-stuffed-crust-pizza.md)
