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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetable-pancake) as the crust for its [Asian-inspired pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-bbqstyle-classic-crust-pizza). The Signature [Scallion Pancake Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scallion-pancakes) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 11% - 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 - **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. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Scallion Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scallion-pancakes.md) - [Asian-Inspired Neapolitan Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi00a.md) - [Chewy Japanese Pizza Crusts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mochiko-mochi-pizza-crust.md) - [Korean-Themed Pizza Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-maru-1.md) - [Asian Fusion Pizzeria Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-pizza-kitchen-menu-items.md) - [Celebratory Dumpling-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-new-year-dumplings-pizza.md) - [Frozen Korean Cuisine Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-bulgogi-pizza.md) - [Co-Branded Thai-Themed Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-gra-prow-pizza.md) - [Korean BBQ-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-bbq-steak-pizza.md)
