It’s safe to say that nothing’s more classic than a cheese pizza with red sauce. It’s arguably the most popular meal, now readily available for customers as a frozen meal to be enjoyed at any time. However, because pizza is such an iconic meal, there’s tons of competition in frozen pizza manufacturing.
That’s why it’s important to keep up with flavor trends. Developing your own take on pizza trends can help your brand connect with customers looking for their new favorite frozen pizza. Relying on equipment that facilitates quick and low-cost R&D can also help labels outpace competitors and set customer expectations. Here, we’ll explore some popular ingredients in pizza and how your label can innovate new topping combinations. We’ll also talk about which pizza sauce dispensers and pepperoni slicers can streamline operations while increasing production speed. We’ll also answer the question “Where to find pizza equipment?” This article serves as a quick go-to on popular ingredients and how to keep up with frozen pizza trends.
Hot Pizza Toppings
Incorporating different pizza toppings is a great way to diversify your product line, follow trends, and create products unique to your label. Keeping an eye on trends can allow your brand to meet demand and connect with customers who are looking for both familiar and new recipes. Between sauces, meats, cheeses, and vegetables, there are a plethora of ingredients to use when following trends and creating new favorites.
Sauces
Red sauce and mozzarella are classic pizza toppings. However, with different ingredients growing in popularity, brands can incorporate different sauces to create recipes and meet the demands of more adventurous pizza enjoyers. Sauces like BBQ sauce and basil pesto sauce are different ingredients compared to the typical red sauce but are sure to find customers that are seeking a new pizza experience.
Meats
Pepperoni is perhaps the most popular meat pizza topping. However, why stop there? Why not incorporate bacon, sausage, or ham? Why not a combination of them? Customers are sure to love a meat lover’s pizza, and while iconic, the combination of meats can be new and innovative.
Cheeses and Vegetables
Cheese is a necessary pizza topping, and vegetables add extra flavor and flare! Between shredded and grated cheeses and IQF vegetables, the combinations are endless. Your brand can create interesting combinations, like four-cheese Margherita pizza, with an assortment of cheeses, tomatoes, and basil. The application of many different ingredients can create a unique flavor profile that will be popular with many.
So many ingredients, so little time. How can brands keep up with developing so many recipes while remaining on target and maintaining uptime? The key is using automated pizza sauce dispensers and pepperoni slicers to streamline their frozen pizza production.
