Stay up-to-date with the latest headlines and hottest topics from the pizza world on Pizza Roundtable, part of the I Need Pizza Club Network!

Each Tuesday, hosts Jim Mumford, Anna Crucitt, and Will Dumas break down the biggest news stories, fascinating insights, and delightful debates shaping the industry and culture of pizza.

This week's top stories and discussions include:
🔥The Craziest Pizza Order Ever? A viral note from a husband detailing his pregnant wife's "unhinged" pizza order (Triple Pepperoni, Olives, Chicken, Light Sauce, and more!) sparks a chaotic debate on flavor profile, logistics, and if a pizza maker would even attempt it.

🔥The Pizza Capital of the World: We're not talking New York or New Haven, we dive deep into the unique and delicious Old Forge, Pennsylvania style (the "trays"), discussing the dense, bready crust, sweet gravy-like sauce, and the famous White Pizza Puff.

🔥Pizza Hut Nostalgia Trip: A look at the 12 remaining Retro Pizza Hut locations across the US that still offer the classic red cups, booths, and the coveted lunch buffet. We share our fondest memories of the iconic personal pan pizza and the unforgettable post-practice buffet regrets.

🔥Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza Empanadas: Is Taco Bell stretching the definition of "pizza" too far? We debate the chain's new test menu item and the confusing line between an empanada and a calzone (and if the famous Mexican Pizza ever qualified as pizza in the first place).

🔥Guy Fieri's Favorite Weird Pizza Topping: The Mayor of Flavortown gives his stamp of approval to a surprising pizza featuring carrots marinated in orange juice, honey, and a savory dukkah spice blend. Does a Mediterranean flatbread with candied carrots count as a "pizza"?
