HOBOKEN, NJ — The American Pecan Promotion Board (APPB) and East Coast pizza brand Tony Boloney’s partnered to create a limited-edition pecan pizza for the Thanksgiving holiday season.
“We know that the Pecan Pie is a staple for so many at the Thanksgiving table, but with the tremendous versatility of pecans we wanted to reimagine the traditional pie with a pizza-fired twist for a turn-key meal before the turkey” said Alexander Ott, executive director of the APPB.
The unexpected pizza variety combines sweet and savory, featuring a buttermilk pizza crust, bourbon-infused tomato sauce, mozzarella, fennel-dusted pepperoni-flavored pecan halves and topped with spicy balsamic Pecan Pie glaze.
“We are known for our out-of-the-box creations, and we’re thrilled to be bringing this ready-to-bake pizza meets pie mashup to the masses just in time for Thanksgiving,” Mike Hauke, founder and owner of Tony Boloney’s Brands. “This plant-based pie is a delicious marriage of our savory classic pizza and the iconic pecan pie, heaping with holiday flavor.”
