This year, Pizza Pizza introduces a novel culinary creation at the CNE: the 'Footlong Mozza Dog,' a deep-fried specialty featuring 100% Canadian cheese.
The Footlong Mozza Dog is offered in three styles, each designed to provide a unique taste experience. The 'Ballpark Style' features classic hotdog condiments including ketchup, mustard, and pickles, all served on a hoagie roll. The 'Pep Pizza Style' includes "crispy fried pepperoni, homestyle tomato sauce, and Italiano seasoning," complementing the deep-fried mozzarella stick within a hoagie roll. Lastly, the 'All Dressed' variant is topped with "smoky Texas BBQ sauce, pickles, and Lay’s Classic chips, served on a hoagie roll with a creamy garlic sauce."
Each style offers a distinctive flavor profile, catering to diverse preferences while showcasing an innovative approach to a classic carnival snack.
