Focus on Flavor Trends and Customer Preferences
According to Jodie Conrad, the Chief Marketing Officer at Donatos Pizza, the brand is keenly attuned to evolving flavor trends. The decision to expand the menu with sweet and spicy options is, in part, a reflection of the popularity garnered by the now-permanent Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza. In a press release dated March 11, 2025, she commented:
“Our new Smoky Hot Honey menu items are an elevated take on popular flavor pairings that are taking the restaurant industry by storm. We’ve seen remarkable enthusiasm for our Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza, which is now a permanent menu item, and we’re excited to build on that success.”
She further added:
“Hot honey is experiencing incredible momentum, and Datassential predicts it will outperform 100% of all other ingredients over the next four years. By fusing the bold flavors of spicy, sweet, and savory, we’re creating something truly delicious for our guests to enjoy across multiple menu items.”
