# Strawberry Balsamic Pizzas This Vegetarian Pizza Puts a Fruity Spin On a Classic Italian Dish By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2015-07-03 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-balsamic References: [cookieandkate](http://cookieandkate.com/2013/strawberry-basil-and-balsamic-pizza/) In the category of [vegetarian pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toppers-pizza-vegan-pizzas), the Strawberry Balsamic Pizza stands alone. Topped with unconventional ingredients and healthy attributes, this dish appeals to the meatless community and health-conscious eaters. While vegetarian pizza is offered at most pizzerias, Strawberry Balsamic Pizza is the product of foodie blogger Kate of 'Cookie + Kate.' This [meat-free pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediterranean-cauliflower-crust-pizza) features roasted strawberries atop mozzarella, goat cheese and basil. The base is made of [whole-grain dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miltons-pizzas) and lacks the traditional tomato sauce. While minimal toppings make this pizza a true delight, the most intense flavor comes from the balsamic drizzle that coats this pizza from its crust to the end of each individual slice. To make this dish at home, follow the detailed recipe posted on the 'Cookie + Kate' blog. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 - **Vegetarian Gourmet Pizzas:** Expanding vegetarian pizza offerings with gourmet, non-traditional ingredients can appeal to health-conscious eaters and the meatless community. - **Fruit-infused Pizzas:** Incorporating fruits into pizza toppings can add interesting flavors and expand the options for meatless pizzas. - **Alternative Pizza Sauces:** Experimenting with non-traditional pizza sauces (like balsamic drizzle) can create unique and flavorful vegetarian pizza options. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Creating vegetarian and fruit-infused pizzas can be a growth opportunity in the food and beverage industry. - **Health and Wellness:** Appealing to health-conscious eaters with alternative and whole-grain ingredients can create opportunities for growth in the health and wellness industry. - **Blogging and Social Media:** Food bloggers can create unique and marketable meatless pizza recipes, like Kate of 'Cookie + Kate,' and share them through social media channels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Seasonal Burger-inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-backyardburger-pizza.md) - [Seasonal Peach-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peach-prosciutto-pie1.md) - [Seasonal Spinach-Topped Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-spring-special.md) - [Meatless Cheeseburger Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetarian-meatless-cheeseburger-pizza.md) - [Ranch-Topped Pickle Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stoners-pizza-joint-pickle-pizza.md) - [Spicy Stone Fruit Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickin-bbq-peach-pizza.md) - [Gluten-Free White Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-white-pizza.md) - [Festive Meatless Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-for-christmas.md) - [Wafer Chocolate Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handy-melts-sweet-and-sour-strawberry.md)
