Both pizza ingredients and the ideal pizza ovens play pivotal roles in achieving the perfect pizza. As the industry grows and reaches $46 billion in revenue, emphasis will continue to surround factors like quality, speed, efficiency, and profitability. Better ingredients and ovens will also continue to play a role. From selecting the right type of cheese to understanding the impact of high-quality pizza ovens offered by brands like PizzaMaster, LBC, and Univex, these elements interact to create pizzas that stand out in a highly competitive industry.
Innovative Pizza Trends and How to Implement Them
The pizza industry continually evolves, driven by consumer demand for unique and diverse options. To stay competitive, restaurant owners are incorporating innovative trends into their menus.
Experiment with Dough Varieties
Offer various dough options, including Classic Neapolitan, New York-style, and creative choices like Detroit-Style Pan Pizza. Each type provides a distinct texture and flavor profile, catering to varied customer preferences.
Incorporate Unique Toppings
Traditional toppings remain popular, but adding unique options like artichoke hearts, smoked or cured meats, and Hatch hot green chiles can attract a broader audience. This approach not only diversifies the menu but also caters to the adventurous palate of modern consumers.
Adopt Different Cooking Styles
Similar to dough varieties, different pizza ovens can provide a wide range of results. Consider using different pizza oven styles ranging from classic deck ovens for New York-style pizzas or a domed oven with a stone hearth for a more classic Neopolitan style.
