While people can debate crust styles, topping combinations, and a multitude of other food pairings, more than half of pizza fans agree with one particular flavor. Ready to amplify that eating experience?
Pizza might be one of the most universally loved foods. While there are stellar pizzas, even a subpar pizza is better than a soggy salad. From a nod to classic Italian fare to an over-the-top fusion slice, rarely, if ever, does a person turns down a plate of pizza.
Recently, Tabasco and Talker Inc partnered on a pizza survey. The surprising details prove two things about pizza orders. One, people can be stuck in their ways. Two, spice will make pizza taste better.
First, the study showed that the average American has not changed their pizza order in over two years. Whether that is love of the ingredient combination or just complacency, the reality is that people are set in their ways. They might not want to replace pepperoni for ground beef, but they can be open to adding some extra flavor to the slice.
More importantly, half of pizza eaters found that spice makes pizza taste better. Recent food trends show that people are happy to drizzle, dunk, or otherwise enhance that crust with another bold ingredient.
Even though swicy trends have taken over the conversation, Tabasco believes that its classic hot sauce is a perfect choice as a pizza accompaniment. From a few shakes all over the pie to enhancing that butter crust last bite, that added zippiness satisfies.
As many people appreciate, Tabasco is a unique combination of peppers, vinegar, and salt. The inherent acidity helps cut through the richness of some pizza topping combinations. The heat can help enhance the other flavors. Overall, it is another use for the popular hot sauce.
While many people instantly think of that classic red pepper sauce, Tabasco has a robust line-up of offerings. From the smoky chipotle pepper to the vibrant green jalapeno, the variety can help pizza fans discover new flavor combinations.
For example, a classic tomato and basil pizza would be delicious with the green jalapeno sauce. That bright, spicy sauce with the fresh basil is a kick of herbaceous goodness. It turns just a handful of ingredients into a flavor explosion.
In turn, the cayenne garlic sauce would be divine on a white pizza. Even though garlic can be pungent, the punch of heat can keep the dish from being one note. Balance is key to any dish.
For the next pizza night, give people an opportunity to change the flavor experience. A dash of Tabasco can turn that stagnant order into something bolder and more enjoyable. Just like life, a little spice can make any day fuller.
