Consumers' obsession with pickles—and all things tangy and briny—is at an all-time high, meaning that the limited-time Pickle Pizza Home Chef launched in collaboration with Grillo's Pickles is certain to be well-received. This ready-to-bake pizza that serves four is crisp, spicy and fresh all at once thanks to Grillo's hot pickle chips, mozzarella cheese, pulled pork, red onions, and BBQ sauce layered atop a wood-fired style crust. Made with summer backyard gatherings in mind, this "flavor-bomb" pickle pizza is ready in just over 15 minutes and made to be shared.
The Home Chef x Grillo's Pickle Pizza can be found at participating Kroger stores nationwide—but it will only be available through Labor Day weekend.
