Image
As consumers are becoming increasingly more health conscientious, plant-based meat  has crept its way into practically every food category. From fast-food companies to 5-star restaurants, every establishment is trying to provide meals for a variety of consumers. After extensive research of the latest pizza news, we come across two articles that pertain to our blogs topic and plant-based eating. As this trend becomes increasingly popular, large food corporations such as Pizza Hut and Little Ceasars are developing plant-based toppings for their pizzas.    "Incogmeato™ is a new-to-the-world brand created to challenge convention on delicious plant based food," says Wendy Davidson, Kellogg Away from Home President. Little Caesars and Pizza Hut will be the first pizza establishments to test out this market. Pizza Hut is also set to debut its new round pizza box.

Pizza and Sandwiches!

Image
In this week’s blog, we decided to partner with our friends from Which Sandwich? to discuss not only pizza in Albuquerque, but also sandwiches.  Which Sandwich? is a blog that reviews sandwiches from different restaurants in the Albuquerque area. For their first blog post, they reviewed Subway’s Hot and Spicy Sandwich. For college students that go to the University of New Mexico, Subway is a frequent stop since it is conveniently located-on campus. Throughout their post, they describe the reasons for purchasing Subway sandwiches and how convenient it is for college students to choose Subway for their meal. Additionally, they rate the sandwich a 7 out of 10, due to the quality of the sandwich and the Subway's atmosphere. In their second review, they went to Jersey Mike’s to evaluate their Philly Cheese steak. Jersey Mike’s is a sandwich shop with various locations throughout Albuquerque, one of which within view of the University of New Mexico main campus. The Philly C...

Their hours are great because they are open Monday through Saturday 11am-11pm and Sundays from 11am-10pm. Slice parlor pizzas are baked on a deck oven and are inspired by New York City pizza. They make their dough and tomato sauce from scratch daily. Additionally, Slice Parlor uses whole milk mozzarella cheese and fresh herbs in every hand-tossed pizza.
