This strange combo is a sweet and savory way to turn pizza crust into dessert.
There are plenty of strange food combinations out there, but here in Colorado, the one we pride ourselves most on is pairing honey with our pizza. To outsiders, it seems like a bizarre concept, but once you try it you'll see why it's a regional wonder. You ought to bee-lieve me (ha!) when I say there are some legit benefits to drizzling some golden goodness on your plate.
Honey is a natural antibiotic. You're basically doing your body a favor when you ingest honey, particularly when it's cold and flu season. You can trust me, I took one semester of biology in college.
Eating pizza this way helps transplants to blend in more easily. Looking to shed your Californian or Texan identity? This will help expedite the process when you're seen swabbing your crust in honey.
You reduce food waste. As someone who isn't a "crust person", this is one surefire way to ensure there is nothing left on my plate at the end of my meal.
Honey consumption can lower blood pressure. Look, more health benefits to pollen puddin'!
It's daggum delicious, that's why. It may sound weird at first, but I can promise you that the combination of the warm, olive oil-brushed crust and the sweet honey drizzle will win you over at first bite.
