Makeboluo is the name of a new Asian-inspired pizzeria from the founder of Fóumami, the slow-fast Asian sandwich bar. Just as family recipes and traditional flavors from China, Japan and Korea inform the signature dishes at Fóumami, Makeboluo (pronounced "Mah-Kah-Bow-Low") uses scallion pancakes as the crust for its Asian-inspired pizzas.
The Signature Scallion Pancake Pizzas can be ordered in varieties like Tokyo Hambagu, Chicken Katsu and Kurobuta, which are stacked with unique, Asian-inspired toppings like sambal, homemade sesame-soy pork sausage, peanuts, and water chestnuts and broccolini. At the Asian-inspired pizzeria, there's also classic pepperoni and cheese pizzas made with the uniwue scallion pancake crust.
Initially, Makeboluo will be available for delivery-only orders via Fóumami's Financial District location.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Asian-inspired Pizzas
- There is a trend of using unique Asian-inspired toppings and scallion pancakes as the crust for pizzas, which presents an opportunity for pizzerias to offer non-traditional pizza variations.
- Delivery-only Restaurants
- With the rise of delivery apps, there is a trend of restaurants focusing exclusively on delivery, which presents an opportunity for restaurant owners to reduce overhead costs and increase their customer base.
- Flavor Infusion
- There is a trend of infusing traditional Asian flavors into Western dishes, which presents an opportunity for restaurants to create innovative dishes that appeal to a wide range of customers.
Sectors Adopting This
- Food Delivery
- The rise of delivery-only restaurants presents opportunities for food delivery services and app developers to partner with emerging restaurants and create new delivery-focused business models.
- Pizzerias
- The trend of Asian-inspired pizzas presents an opportunity for pizzerias to differentiate themselves from competitors and attract new customers with unique flavor profiles and crust options.
- Fast Casual Dining
- The trend of infusing Asian flavors into Western dishes presents opportunities for fast casual dining restaurants to offer innovative menu items and expand their customer base with unique taste experiences.
