There’s no better way to pay homage to the pizza world than by bringing traditionally known favorites to a new region. San Jose, California’s Slice of Homage Pizza is sharing regional favorites like Sicilian and Detroit-style with West Coast customers, and the formula is working.

Tony Gioutsos grew up in Detroit, and since moving to San Clemente, Calif. by way of Austin, Texas, he knew he wanted to bring a taste of home to the West Coast. With the help of LloydPans, a lot of hard work and a few fateful signs along the way, Gibroni’s Pizza is gaining buzz as one of the hottest Detroit-style pizzas in Orange County.

Pizza’s versatility is one of the reasons the LloydPans innovation team loves the ‘za so much. It truly is a food that provides something for everyone, and just when we thought we’d seen every innovative pizza technique or topping imaginable, pizza makers surprise us with something new. Here are some of our favorite pizza trends of late.

Heads up to the pizza obsessed: Tune into @PizzaChannelKevin to get your fix! For 12 years, Kevin Lynch has been making pizzas at home, and he was hooked as soon as he bought his first pizza dough ball.

A photo may be worth a thousand words, but a pizza video is definitely the best way to showcase the height of frico, the pull of a gorgeous cheese slice or the edging of roni cups. Since earlier this year, Steven with @notapizzeria has taken TikTok by ‘za storm, creating content for his 28.4k followers that has us heading to our ovens faster than we can say LloydPans. 

Every so often there comes a food that transcends the origins from which it came. In the pizza world, Detroit-style is a regional fare that may have begun in the Motor City, but it’s taken the United States — and even other parts of the world — by storm.

Last year, the LloydPans innovation team hosted a social media pizza bracket — BYOP (Bring Your Own Pizza) — where faithful followers weighed in on their favorite crusts, cheeses and toppings. It came as no surprise that two traditional pizza toppers made the final ideal pizza: mozzarella and pepperoni. In September, we celebrate both cheese and pepperoni which have their very own days, Sept. 5 and Sept, 20, respectively.
