In April of this year, PMQ reported on a study conducted by Technomic that revealed a consumer shift toward different pizza styles and crusts.
The movement is not slowing down, as we continue to see more news coverage of pizza styles (this Thrillist article labels 29 styles).
Here at PMQ, we've been tracking the trend for years. We've seen regional pizzas, such as Detroit Style, win international pizza competitions normally won by traditional styles, and we continue to see new pizzerias open and serve styles not typical of their region.
As pizza styles continue to spread via franchising and other means, pizza schools are opening to train new and existing pizzaiolos in these pizza styles.
In fact, in each issue of PMQ this year, we've been exploring and expanding upon a different pizza style in an effort to spread additional information to pizzeria operators who are interested in meeting the demand.
