It’s a good month for fans of pickles. Toppers Pizza just rolled out a new pickle pizza, according to the Indy Star.
Toppers has over 70 locations in states from California to Wisconsin. However, if you can’t find a franchise near you, don’t fear.
Hosting your own pizza night can be just as rewarding as a purchased pickle pizza.
Read on for creative ideas for family pizza night.
What’s The Pickle pizza like — and is it any good?
Toppers’ pickle pizza has ranch and Wisconsin mozzarella instead of tomato sauce. Toppings include bacon bits, a sprinkle of dill seasoning and a slew of dill pickle chips, according to the Indy Star.
“The combination might sound unusual, but it offers a delightful mix of tangy, salty, and creamy flavors that work surprisingly well together. The ranch adds a smooth, garlicky backdrop, while the mozzarella provides the classic gooey texture we all love in a pizza,” reads a review from TrendHunter.
The pickle pizza is accompanied by “picklestix,” which are garlic breadsticks covered in dill seasoning and pickle chips.
The pickle pizza and picklestix are available at Toppers until Oct. 6.
