Pizza cake

Pizza cake is a Canadian twist on the classic pizza, featuring multiple layers of pizza stacked and baked in a pot or cake pan. This innovative dish was first introduced by Boston Pizza during their Pizza Game Changers promotion in April 2014. It gained significant popularity when Pillsbury shared a recipe on their website in September of the same year, quickly becoming an internet sensation.

To make a pizza cake, you start by rolling out pizza dough into thin layers, then cutting them into rounds. These dough rounds are layered with all the traditional pizza components like sauce, pepperoni, and cheese. Once assembled, the layers are baked together to form the pizza cake. Recipes can vary, with differences in the number of layers, cooking times, and types of pans recommended.

People's reactions to pizza cake have been mixed. Some adore its taste and creativity, while others find it overly complicated, complain about the crust not being crispy enough, and criticize its high calorie content. Whether the effort is worth it appears to be a matter of personal preference.
