Flavor & The Menu, a magazine and website for chefs that reports on food trends, has recommended a new one: breakfast pizza.
You may have encountered breakfast pizza, but it’s far from ubiquitous.
“The explosive growth of fast casual [dining] has helped elevate pizza to new heights and has kept this exciting category on fire,” says the magazine.
“Consumer acceptance of new flavors, textures, forms and … dayparts [times of the day] has expanded the menu opportunities for pizza even further.”
What does the publication find in the breakfast pizza category?
Look not just to breakfast, but to brunch favorites.
