The MVP is a mesmerizing creation that combines homemade [pesto, vodka, and marinara sauces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grimaldis-pizzeria). However, the sauces aren't simply mixed together. Instead, they are expertly layered as diagonal stripes over mozzarella and [parmesan-crusted dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donatos-pizza-creamy-parm-sauce). The sauce is then sprinkled with one more layer of parmesan and baked once more before it is ready for serving. The result is a slice that is bursting with a different pizza flavor in every bite. Marinara Pizza even offers the MVP on [cauliflower crust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signature-garlic-combo-pizza) so that the gluten-free crowd can also get their fill of this tri-colored pie.
