Pasta-Topped Pizzas

The New Spaghetti & Meatball Pizza Combines Two Beloved Comfort Foods

— April 6, 2016 — Lifestyle
Chuck E. Cheese recently combined two beloved comfort foods into a single dish called the Spaghetti & Meatball Pizza. While the concept of putting unusual toppings on a pizza is nothing new, this chain has gone a step further by combining two separate dishes into one hybrid entree.

The new Spaghetti & Meatball Pizza consists of a traditional hand-stretched pizza crust topped with spaghetti noodles, mozzarella, marinara sauce and meatballs. While both dishes are Italian in origin, each has become a staple for many American consumers. As a result, the hybrid dish offers a new twist on American-style comfort food. As Chef Gregory Casale explains, "Our Spaghetti & Meatball Pizza gives us one more way to show our guests we're serious about bringing them the very best in culinary innovation."
Trend Themes
1. Hybrid Cuisine - The combination of two separate dishes into one hybrid creation opens up opportunities for culinary innovation.
2. Unconventional Food Toppings - The trend of putting unusual toppings on a pizza offers opportunities to create unique flavor combinations and surprise customers.
3. Twists on Comfort Food - The introduction of a spaghetti and meatball pizza creates a new twist on classic American-style comfort food, appealing to customers looking for nostalgic yet innovative options.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant - Restaurants can leverage the trend of hybrid cuisine to offer unique menu items that differentiate themselves and attract customers seeking innovative dining experiences.
2. Food & Beverage - The unconventional food toppings trend presents opportunities for food and beverage companies to develop new products or collaborate with restaurants to create exciting flavor combinations and attract adventurous consumers.
3. Fast Food - Fast food chains can tap into the trend of twists on comfort food to introduce innovative menu items that cater to customers' desire for both familiarity and novelty.
