Sbarro XL NY Pizza Partners with Mike’s Hot Honey

— August 5, 2025 — Marketing
Two iconic Brooklyn-born food brands have joined forces to create an innovative pizza collaboration that combines nostalgic flavors with contemporary culinary trends. Sbarro, the global pizza chain known for its New York-style slices, has partnered with Mike's Hot Honey, the artisanal condiment company that pioneered the sweet-heat pizza topping movement, to offer customers a new way to enjoy the popular Double Duo pizza.

This limited-time pizza collaboration features Sbarro's signature two-pepperoni pizza — an offering that includes both classic and old-world char varieties — enhanced with a drizzle of Mike's signature chili-infused honey. The resulting flavor profile expertly balances spicy, sweet, and savory elements.

Beyond the product itself, the pizza collaboration represents a meaningful connection between two brands with shared Brooklyn roots and a common philosophy about food's role in community building.
