Red, White, and Blue Pizza
made with Nutella®
Think With Your Sweet Tooth
Dessert pizzas are easy to make—and even easier to make
money on, considering the food costs are low and they can
fetch a pretty penny on your dessert menu. Nutella has taken
its place at the forefront of the movement, but there are other
dessert pizza options to be explored, too. Just start thinking
with your sweet tooth:
A Washington, D.C. bakery, the Chocolate Crust (chocolate-
crust.com), made headlines in the Washington Post for its unique
Chocolate Crusted Pizza. The crust is prepared with a mix of
white fl our, dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans, while the
toppings can range from blackberries and peaches to bacon
and even pepperoni.
Servers at Pizza Pie Café (pizzapiecafe.co), with locations in
Idaho, Utah and Arizona, urge their guests to leave room for
the company’s selection of seven delectable dessert pizzas,
including the Oreo Dessert, featuring housemade cream cheese
frosting, Oreo crumbs and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.
With stores in 19 states, BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse
(bjsrestaurants.com) has perfected the “pizookie,” a combina-
tion pizza-cookie offered in seven styles and fl avors, including
the deliriously decadent Salted Caramel Pizookie, made with
caramel cookie dough, almond toffee, pretzel bites and white
and dark chocolate chips and topped with vanilla bean ice
cream, caramel sauce and Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips.

3 Tips for Meat-Free MarketingIf you don’t offer meat-free pizza alternatives, you’re missing out on a moneymaking opportunity. Vegetarians and vegans account for only about 6% of the U.S. population, but they’re often deeply loy-al to restaurants that accommodate their dietary needs. Consider these ideas for marketing to the meat-free crowd:
1. Put some thought and creativity into your vegetarian/vegan pizzas. Don’t just pile random veggies on a dough crust. Look for unique toppings that complement each other and offer a few spe-cialty pies that your competitors don’t have.2. Call attention to the veggie dishes on your menu. Use a green V to highlight specifi c pizzas, or create a veggie section on the menu.
3. Choose substitutes, such as dairy-free cheese or mock meats, carefully. Test them in your recipes and get input from vegetarian customers to make sure you stock the best-tasting ingredients. Host a vegetarian sampling night to solicit feedback.
