A well-known fact is that the longer the customer stays, the better it is for a pub. A clever way to keep your guests longer in the pub is to provide food. Did you know that pubs that offer food show a significantly higher average order value than pubs that don’t?

Have you ever been enjoying your cold beer and then felt your stomach start growling for some food? Same! By offering food on the menu you can make sure to keep your guests in the pub for a longer time, so they don’t have to leave sooner to satisfy their hunger. This is just one of the many arguments why pizza should be on the menu of every pub.

Why beer and pizza are a power couple

Many pizzas and beers can be combined to enhance the taste of each other. For example, the classic Italian Margherita should shine on its own and not be overpowered by the taste of a heavy beer. As a crisp and clean Blond Ale contains malt, it makes a perfect match for the pizza. The sweetness is a nice contrast to the saltiness of the cheese on the pizza. Another option could be a 0.0% alcohol-free beer.

Are you looking to satisfy your hunger with a more heavy and stronger taste? The traditional Pepperoni pizza could be an idea! Combine the pizza with an ice-cold Pale Ale, which is characterized by its fruity taste. The fruitiness and bitterness contrast each other and boosts the taste of the pizza.

The controversial Hawaii pizza is best combined with a fruity beer. The sweetness from the pineapple combined with the smokey ham makes a perfect match with a fruitier and lighter beer. The hops in the brew beautifully evens out the taste of the pineapple on the pizza.

Not only do you make your customers happy with a nice ice-cold beer, but you could also provide them with a perfect pizza. The two strengthen each other, and therefore it is really beneficial for pubs to include pizzas on their menu.
