Birria Pizza from Pizza Buzz in Watauga, Texas is our pick for Pizza of the Week

This week’s Pizza Today Featured Pizza of the Week goes out to Pizza Buzz in Fort Worth, Texas and its Birria Pizza. We have to admit this pizza made us drool as we scrolled past it on Instagram. Birria is a hot trending pizza topping. You’ll noticed the Detroit-style pizza crust with the cheesy crispy edges. Even the Instagram description pulls pizza fans in. “The Birria Pizza of the month is here! And its best served on a Detroit-style crust. It starts with a loaded base of mozzarella cheese, followed by a topping of tender, shredded Birria beef, smoky Birria stew, a sprinkle of chopped white onions, fresh cilantro, side of lime slices, and … of course, a bowl of cosumé for dipping.”

Owner Jay Hansji created this crave-worthy pizza. He gives us the scoop on Pizza Buzz’s Pizza of the Month Special.

Pizza Name: Birria Pizza

What’s on the pizza? 

JH: Beef cooked in a stew, mozzarella cheese, then topped with white onions and fresh cilantro comes with side of lime and consommé. 

Why is it special/geek out on it: 

JH: In Texas, Birria Tacos are very famous so I decided to put it on pizza. I like to do things that will standout like my AL Pastor Pizza, Elote Pizza, and Tandoori Chicken Pizza. I think of pizza crust as a canvas of art you can do many things to it.

The process of making Birria is a long process because you have to break the meat down for 6-8 hours in a stew.

What’s been the customer response? 

JH: Customers love it so much they want us to keep it permeant on the menu.

Jay Hansji’s name may sound familiar from a previous Pizza Expo when he proposed this wife and co-owner Manisha on the Demonstration Stage. The couple have been married for 20 years through an arranged marriage and it was Manisha’s dream to have an official proposal and wedding. Jay made that dream come true as he sat on a panel discussion at the exhibitor presentation. Jay also surprised his wife by flying in their kids and his wife’s mother for the special event.
