This year, [Pizza Pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cne-exclusive-offerings) introduces a novel culinary creation at the [CNE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/so-cute-ice-cream): the '[Footlong Mozza Dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subway-canada),' a deep-fried specialty featuring 100% Canadian cheese.

The Footlong Mozza Dog is offered in three styles, each designed to provide a unique taste experience. The 'Ballpark Style' features classic hotdog condiments including ketchup, mustard, and pickles, all served on a hoagie roll. The 'Pep Pizza Style' includes "crispy fried pepperoni, homestyle tomato sauce, and Italiano seasoning," complementing the deep-fried mozzarella stick within a hoagie roll. Lastly, the 'All Dressed' variant is topped with "smoky Texas BBQ sauce, pickles, and Lay’s Classic chips, served on a hoagie roll with a creamy garlic sauce."

Each style offers a distinctive flavor profile, catering to diverse preferences while showcasing an innovative approach to a classic carnival snack.
