Trendy and spicy sauces are proliferating on menus, as well as classic cheesy indulgent options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hot honey is on the rise on pizza menus, often as a dip or drizzle on top of pizzas. It pairs well with a variety of toppings, including vegetable-based, such as basil or peppers, and meat-based, such as pepperoni. Pizza joints are also utilizing it as a dip for handhelds, such as chicken or cauliflower bites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honey mustard takes the second slot, with operators frequently menuing it as a dipping sauce for chicken wings and cauliflower bites. In addition, honey mustard is appearing on pizzas for a sweet and tangy base option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cheese sauce is growing on pizza menus as a base sauce, drizzle atop pizzas and dipping option for wings, breadsticks and other handhelds. Blue cheese sauce is appearing most often as a dipping sauce for chicken wings, but it is also a pairing option with garlic knots. Thai sauce takes the last spot on this top five list. This umami option is showing up on Thai chicken pizzas or as a sauce for a variety of handhelds such as chicken wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offering a variety of sauce options, especially as add-ons, can help boost cheques and allow customers to further customize their meals. Indulgent cheese-based sauces can appeal to cravings while heat-packed contemporary sauce options may catch the eye of consumers interested in a bold pizza flavour profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-2-1024x345.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13722\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9888,"template":"","menu_author":[523],"menu-category":[519],"menu-tag":[486,487,476],"class_list":["post-9886","menu","type-menu","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","menu_author-technomic","menu-category-data-trends","menu-tag-back-of-house","menu-tag-chef","menu-tag-trends"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
