Popular Maryland-based pizza chain [Ledo Pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-heat-week) recently teamed up with OLD BAY Hot Sauce on a number of spicy new creations, including the OLD BAY Hot Chicken Pizza.

As part of a partnership between the brands to push the boundaries of food innovation, Ledo Pizza created four new menu items made with OLD BAY Hot Sauce. These new dishes include [OLD BAY Hot Sauce Jumbo Wings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winginspired-menu), the Chesapeake Sub, the Marylander Salad, and the OLD BAY Hot Chicken Pizza. The latter is one of the most fun new dishes, combining Ledo Pizza's signature sauce with the fiery taste of OLD BAY Hot Sauce, Smoked Provolone cheese, and grilled chicken. As Ledo Pizza president Jamie Beall puts it, "Combine the delicious, fresh taste of Ledo Pizza’s dishes with OLD BAY’s distinctive Chesapeake flavor and the result is nothing short of perfection."
