Meat Lovers Pizza: Meet the Meats
Imagine biting into a slice loaded with seven different types of meat, each contributing its own unique flavor and texture. This is the ultimate indulgence for those who can’t get enough of savory, juicy toppings. The 7-Eleven Ultimate Meat Lovers Pizza promises to be a paradise for meat enthusiasts, offering a delightful combination of Chicago-style sausage, meaty sausage and beef crumbles, crispy pepperoni, smoky bacon, Canadian bacon, and diced ham:
- Chicago-style Sausage: Chicago-style sausage, sometimes called "Chicago-style Italian sausage," is a specific type of sausage popular in Chicago and known for its unique flavor from the blend of pork and beef. There is also a unique seasoning combination, making Chicago-style sausage popular on pizza because of the slight spiciness and robust flavor that it adds, especially in our 7-Eleven meat lovers pizza!
- Traditional Sausage: Traditional sausage is made with pork and common seasonings like salt, pepper, fennel seeds, garlic, paprika, and other herbs and spices like anise, oregano, and thyme. Traditional sausage is, well, traditional because it’s a reliable meat that is great in just about anything that its added to - especially in our 7-Eleven meat pizza.
- Beef/Hamburger Crumbles: This is where our 7-meat pizza journey starts getting exciting. Everyone loves a great hamburger, so it only makes sense to include some delicious burger crumbles into the ultimate meat pizza. It starts with ground beef, which is easily seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and other seasonings and are uniformly mixed so the end result is consistent and tasty. Because burger crumbles are in small pieces, all sides are easily browned for added umami flavor, yum!
- Crispy Pepperoni: We don’t have to talk too much about this classic topping. Pepperoni is technically a type of salami made from cured pork and beef. Pepperoni is seasoned with paprika or other chili pepper to give it a characteristic red color and slightly spicy flavor. The texture of pepperoni is firm but slightly chewy, and it has a distinct, smoky, and tangy taste. Of course, the texture can change depending on cooking times; pepperoni toppings, when done right, are crispy and delicious on a meat pizza!
- Smokey Bacon: Like with burger crumbles and pepperoni, bacon needs little introduction – that’s because everything is better with bacon! Smoky bacon on a pizza has a rich, savory flavor and crispy texture. Made from pork belly, bacon is cured, smoked, and then sliced into thin strips or crumbles. The smoking process infuses the bacon with a distinct smoky aroma and taste, making the bacon flavor stand out against the cheese and sauce from the rest of the pizza.
- Canadian Bacon: Everyone knows that things in Canada are a little different from the US. Canadian money is plastic, Canadian dollar coins are called “loonies” and “twonies,” and their bacon isn’t really bacon by American standards. Canadian bacon is made from the leaner loin of the pig and has a leaner, more tender, and slightly sweeter flavor profile compared to the richer, fattier traditional American bacon. It is sometimes confused with ham, but the two are different.
- Diced Ham: We all know that ham is made from the hind leg of a pig that has been cured, which makes it considerably different from Canadian bacon. Both pork may taste similar, but ham can be slightly tougher. The texture of the ham is tender and juicy, providing a pleasant chewiness that complements the other pizza ingredients.
