The pizza starts off with the brand's [signature pie dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farmers-daughter-pizza) that's topped with Brussels sprouts, bacon, a parm-romano sauce, mozzarella and a finishing drizzle of a fig balsamic reduction. The pizza is thus sweet, savory and meaty to encourage customers to try out it out for a limited time for $12 each. Culinary Director and Chef Joseph Fahey commented on the &pizza Bacon Brussel Pie saying, "Brussels sprouts do indeed have a bad rap, but their glow‑up as a go-to appetizer has been impossible to ignore. We wanted to give sprouts a spot on pizza and create a pie that stops people in their tracks – whether they’re longtime skeptics or just curious enough to take a bite.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 61% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **Fusion-cuisine Pizzas:** The rise of unconventional pizza toppings like Brussels sprouts emphasizes the blending of diverse culinary flavors on a traditional platform. - **Vegetable-centric Fast Food:** Offering vegetables as appealing toppings can shift consumer perceptions and elevate them in fast food contexts to new forefronts of innovation. - **Limited-time Specialty Foods:** Creating limited-edition food items drives urgency and consumer interest, fostering a market for novel and experimental culinary offerings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gourmet Fast Food:** Incorporating upscale ingredients and gourmet twists into fast food items challenges the traditional perceptions of quick-service dining. - **Food Innovation:** This industry thrives on reimagining classic dishes with unexpected ingredients, enticing adventurous consumers seeking novel experiences. - **Consumer-packaged Goods (CPG):** The development of unique, shelf-ready pizzas with bold flavors potentially transforms the CPG landscape in the frozen and prepared foods sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sourdough Pizza Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michelin-hexagon-chef.md) - [Bacon-Packed Pizza Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-cheese-crazy-puffs.md) - [Family-Friendly Pizza-Inspired Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-praegers-pizza-stars.md) - [Savory Burger-Inspired Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-cheeseburger-pie.md) - [Savory Fermented Vegetable Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-pie.md) - [Jalapeño Popper Pizzeria Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-popper-pepper.md) - [Extra-Cheesy Pizzeria Menu Items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-menu-items.md) - [Maple Glazed Brussels Sprouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-glazed-brussels-sprouts.md) - [Craft Pizza Restaurant Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-pie-craft-series.md)
