"Started in Brooklyn to cut through a crowded market by using pizza as a canvas for comfort foods and cultural roots: early hits include a chopped-cheese pie with ground beef, onions, peppers, and sriracha ketchup, while other pies draw on Trinidadian and Southern influences—shrimp tossed in yellow curry powder, fried chicken and waffle, and an eight-hour brown stew oxtail pie that went viral. The concept’s social-media success propelled expansion and helped normalize playful, cross-cultural pizza creations." - ByElazar Sontag
