What is Hot Honey and Why Does It Belong on Pizza?

Hot honey has quickly gone from a niche ingredient to a staple in kitchens and restaurants everywhere. At its core, it’s a simple idea: honey infused with chili peppers. That blend of sweet and heat makes it versatile, whether you’re drizzling it over fried chicken, biscuits, or in our case, pizza.

So why does it work so well on pizza? Pizza is rich and savory by nature, with melty cheese and hearty toppings. Adding hot honey cuts through that richness. The sweetness complements the saltiness of the cheese, and the subtle spice adds just enough kick to keep each bite interesting. It transforms a classic slice into something new without losing the flavors people already love.

Hot honey isn’t just a trend. It’s becoming a pantry staple. It looks great, tastes even better, and works across food styles. That’s why we wanted to bring it into our kitchen. A drizzle of hot honey on pizza makes a familiar favorite stand out, and we think once you try it, you’ll understand why it’s become such a hit.
