1. Expand Your Range With Vegan and Gluten-Free Pizza

Society is becoming more and more health-conscious thanks to today’s ever-present ability to have information at the touch of your fingertips. In order to keep up with the demands of your customers, explore healthier options like vegan and gluten-free pizza selections. A gluten-free crust topped with sweet red onions, soft roasted courgettes, mild piquanté peppers and finished with fresh wild rocket could be a delicious option for your customers.

Serve what your customers want, and you’ll be on to a winner.

2. Non-Tomato Based Pizzas

Great pizza doesn’t always have to be tomato based. One of the most popular pizza trends is ditching the traditional tomato sauce base and going with a fresh alternative like barbecue or pesto. It works well on so many levels and can completely revitalize old flavours and ingredients, allowing you to reinvent the way pizza is made.

With non-tomato based pizzas rising in popularity, it’s a trend that is not going away anytime soon.

3. Focus on the Quality of Ingredients

A pizza is only as good as its ingredients. That’s why, when it comes to creating the finest and best quality pizzas, it’s good to ensure that your ingredients should be sourced for freshness and quality. However, you also want to expand your horizons and include ideas that create a truly remarkable taste that emboldens the impact of high-quality ingredients.

Using ingredients that are high in quality will help you to make sure customers are enjoying their pizza, as it only takes one bad meal to leave a negative impression. You’ll ensure your customers keep coming back if the ingredients used heightens their taste buds and allows them to savour every lasting bite.

Don’t forget to keep things fresh with pizza ideas that mix your ingredients up to create new tastes, as while the pineapple debate rages on, you’ll need to research ideas, spices, herbs and meat options to keep your menu enticing. Create unique pizzas that offer adventurous customers flavours that go beyond the popular pepperoni or Margherita.

To create the best pizza, focus on the quality of the ingredient, not quantity.

4. The Rise Of Online Ordering
