Calling all meat lovers because Peter Piper Pizza just debuted not one, but two new meatball pizzas.
Peter Piper Pizza is the chain best known for its handmade-from-scratch pizzas. The latest additions to the brand's menu include two new meatball pizzas: the Fiery Meatball pizza and the MBP pizza. The former is a spicy combination of house-made beef meatballs that have been sliced and served over creamy Alfredo sauce, a mix of mozzarella and provolone cheeses, baked jalapenos, and crushed red pepper. Finally, a spicy Buffalo sauce made from a mix of red pepper, butter, garlic, and tangy vinegar, is drizzled over top for some added heat.
On the other hand, the new MBP pizza delivers more protein than spice. The MBP features the same sliced meatballs, as well as diced bacon, pepperoni, and fresh mozzarella cheese.
