Pizza is life. A humble product that traditionally consists only of dough, tomato sauce, cheese, and basil, this Italian pie has conquered the world and the world hasn’t been the same since. But there’s so much you can do when you allow yourself to play with the basic formula. For instance, you can veer from the traditional recipe and come up with completely new and exciting ways to make everyone’s favorite circular food. That’s why there’s creations like the Insta-worthy hot dog pizza or sushi pizza. But have you ever seen a pizza spiral? One that’s made out of ground beef and mashed potatoes, with two creamy sauces and a hearty helping of cheese on top? Will it hold up to the mighty pizza standards? See for yourself!
