These combined bar food favorites are launching in two varieties, Loaded Bacon Cheddar and Chili Cheese, both with a potato-powered crust. While one of the gluten-free pizzas layers cheddar cheese sauce, mozzarella and more cheddar cheese with a bacon and pork belly blend, the other is just as cheesy and but offers a different flavor profile with ingredients like hamburger chili cheese sauce, red onion and parsley. "Our fans aren't asking for ordinary, and we're not here to play it safe," said Terry Klein, Brand Manager for Tombstone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 43% - 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 - **Comfort-food Hybridization:** New comfort-food hybrids leverage the nostalgia and universal appeal of popular dishes to create unique culinary experiences. - **Gluten-free Innovations:** Experimentation with gluten-free alternatives, like potato-based crusts, is expanding choices for consumers with dietary restrictions. - **Ingredient-driven Flavor Profiles:** Combining diverse and bold ingredients, such as pork belly blends and hamburger chili sauce, results in distinctive and memorable flavor experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Frozen Foods:** The frozen food industry is poised for growth as brands develop unique offerings like hybrid pizzas that cater to evolving consumer tastes. - **Gluten-free Food Market:** Expanding the variety of gluten-free products, such as potato-crust pizzas, taps into a growing market of health-conscious consumers. - **Food Retail:** Innovative products like potato-powered crust pizzas offer retailers opportunities to attract customers seeking novel and exciting food experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pizza-Flavored French Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-chips-with-pizza-salt.md) - [Tavern-Honoring Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tombstone-tavernstyle-pizza.md) - [Tavern-Style Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tavernstyle-pizza.md) - [Bar Snack Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bar-snacks-pizza.md) - [Gourmet Potato Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patata-rustica-pizza.md) - [Potato Tot-Covered Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tots-n-bacon-pizza.md) - [Grilled Cheese Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-toastie-crust.md) - [Frozen Cottage Cheese Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tattooed-chef-cottage-cheese-crust.md) - [High-Protein Frozen Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stonebaked-pizzas.md)
