The California Pizza Kitchen Nashville-Style Hot Honey Pizza has been announced by the brand as a new product created in partnership with Mike's Hot Honey to provide consumers with a decidedly swicy flavor experience this summer.
The pizza starts off with the brand's signature dough doped with mozzarella cheese, hand-battered fried chicken and ranchito sauce, all baked in the brand's hearth oven. The pizza is then topped with cayenne seasoning, dill pickles and a drink of Mike's Hot Honey - Extra Hot honey to achieve a sweet and spicy flavor profile.
The California Pizza Kitchen Nashville-Style Hot Honey Pizza is available now at participating locations where customers can pick it up through September 30, 2024. The pizza responds to the popularity of swicy flavor experiences that have gained lots of momentum in recent months.
