Pizza Trends

As we journey through 2024, which trends will redefine pizza culture? Will it be plant-based options, fusion flavors or cutting-edge technologies (like our newest Handheld-Style Pizza Pan?).

Instead of bringing home the bacon, PETA’s Top 10 Vegan Pizzas in the U.S. list honors mouthwatering plant-based pies that showcase how delicious and easy eating pizza the vegan way can be.

The results are in, and the LloydPans team has crowned the pizza pan winners of the year! The Detroit-Style 8x10x2.38-inch and 10x14x2.5-inch were the top two best sellers of 2023 for our Spokane Valley, Wash.-based team, followed closely by 2-, 14- and 16-inch Quik-Disks. We took a trip down 2023 memory lane to reflect on why our customers chose these pans as their favorites. 

This November, we’re thankful for pizza. And we don’t mean the standard pepperoni pie — oh, no. We’re thankful for the rich flavors that fall brings, from root vegetables to tart fruits, rich cheeses to cured meats. Read on for the LloydPans’ Innovation Team’s top five pizza ingredients of the season.

Happy National Pizza Month, pizzaiolos! It’s the best month of the year, and we can’t wait to see all of the amazing pies you create in October. We’ve been on the hunt for new tastes, trends and techniques from LloydPans customers. Join us in counting down some of our favorite inspirations.

Ah, breakfast — the most important meal of the day. At some point, we’ve all grabbed a piece of cold, leftover pizza for breakfast. But who says your customers can’t have a delicious, Italian culinary experience in the morning? After all, we have avocado toast and breakfast burritos. Why not try adding breakfast pizza to your repertoire?

From flatbread to focaccia, cauliflower to canotto-style, the base of a pizza is just as important as fresh, unique toppers. The LloydPans innovation team scoured the U.S. trend circuit to see what dough trends are hot with pizzaiolos this year, and we’re impressed with the thought, skill and determination that it took for the doughs that made our list.

At LloydPans, it’s our job to create the best pans available to help you effectively bake the most delicious, fun, customer-friendly pizzas in town. We love seeing the finished product, and while perusing your shared photos, stories and trends in the news, we found a few pizza themes that are taking off in the summer of 2023.

What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas in some cases, but not when it comes to industry trends. The International Pizza Expo & Conference was a great opportunity for foodservice professionals to take tips, tricks and delicious ideas back home, serving as a springboard for many of the year’s hottest trends.

LloydPans will be at Booth No. 2351 in Las Vegas for the 39th International Pizza Expo, the world’s largest gathering of pizza professionals. As in years past, we’ll be displaying the best line of pizza pans, pizza tools and foodservice equipment in the industry.
