This Blazin Hot Chicken Pizza is a huge flavor statement.

Move over chicken sandwiches, the Blazin Hot Chicken Pizza is a slam dunk. While LeBron might not be making the Blaze Pizza for you, the modern day pizza joint has created this flavorful pizza for the win. Can you handle the spice?

According to Blaze Pizza’s Pizza Whisper, Executive Chef and Blaze Pizza co-founder, Brad Kent, this new pizza flavor is a riff on a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. Building off the idea of what a Hot Chicken Pizza would taste like, this pizza flavor was born.

Kent said, “What we created is a harmonious blend of taste and texture by combining spicy peppers with a creamy, tangy slaw to balance things out. Whether you’re a fan of spicy food, or just looking for a new culinary experience, the Blazin’ Hot Chicken Pizza is for you.”

The new Blaze Pizza features ghost pepper chicken meatballs with a creamy, vinegary slaw. The pizza is more than just spice. The combination of textures makes each bite even more satisfying.

In what seems to be a big restaurant trend, the pizza features Frank’s RedHot. It seems that the bold, hot sauce is taking over new restaurant menu items. Yes, that flavor is just that good.

Of course, the shredded mozzarella tames the heat a little. While dairy is a good choice to balance spice, another option could tame the flames, too.

Did you know that sugar can reduce the heat from bold spices? On October 31, CRUNCH Bar is partnering with Blaze Pizza to give away a free full-size CRUNCH bar. Anyone who visits a Blaze Pizza after 4 p.m. will get the free candy. No purchase is required.

Still, the CRUNCH bar could be the perfect pairing to the Blazin Hot Chicken Pizza. That balance of spicy and sweet always is a winner.
