Combine these two words: croissant and pizza.
Sounds like an insane combination. An Italo-French dis, one might say.
However, Croissant Pizza is a real thing and it’s soaring in popularity as a trendy meal in Tik Tok.
Popular restaurant chain Papa John’s has been a major force in this dish. Combining the flaky texture of croissants and pizza flavours. The bite is multilayered with cheese, tomato sauce, and any topping you desire. Plus, added upon that classic croissant crust, allowing you to savour the crunch.
There have been previous croissant mashups. For example, “cronut” and “crookie” to name a few. However, the way Papa John’s is doing, it appears that it will continue to be a nighttime craving for the future of food culture.
From a viewpoint, it’s similar to a Mediterranean dish called Bureka. It has a similar pastry shape and offers different fillings as well. The difference is that Bureka leans more towards breakfast compared to the late-night party vibes of croissant pizza.
Can you just imagine dipping your croissant pizza in ranch, bleu cheese, or garlic butter? That would be a dream come true for those who need some munchies at night.
At this point, move over Digornio. Papa John’s is leading the charge for the dish and it seems to capture a following among foodie lovers.
