Celebrating Hot and Spicy Food Day at Mortadella Head

Every year, January 16th is International Hot and Spicy Food Day. Being an Italian restaurant, we love adding spices into our food, so we couldn’t let this holiday fall through the cracks. Here are some of the items on our menu that you might want to celebrate this hot and fiery holiday with. 

Calabrian Chili and Honey Wings: These wings probably won’t be the spiciest things you’ll ever eat, but they do have a great bite! The honey balances out the chili perfectly for an ideal combination of spicy and sweet. 

Buffalo Wings: These wings are a classic and perfect way to celebrate this day! Get ‘em bone-in or boneless -- either way they’re tasty. And with some creamy gorgonzola, they’re sure to satisfy your spicy tooth (that’s a thing, right?). 

The Shredder Pizza: This simple yet tasty pizza is sure to hit the spicy spot. Topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, honey and of course, jalapenos to give you that spicy bite! 

The Screamin’ Sicilian: This bad boy is a steak & cheese sub with a spicy twist. It’s filled with grilled steak, pepperoni, provolone, banana peppers, sauteed onions, marinara and some Calabrian chili mayo to pack that little punch. 

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza: What happens when you combine two tasty classics? You create  a masterpiece. This pie is topped with tomato sauce, aged mozzarella, feta, our juicy boneless buffalo wings and creamy gorgonzola dressing. Voila, perfection!

Our Roman style pizza case is always changing, on the daily! We may add some more spicy pies to the list to really bring the heat. A pepper and pepperoni pizza needs to happen, don’tcha think? 

When it comes to spicy, do you drench everything in hot sauce or do you stick to the mild side? Let us know in the comments below. Which of these you want to celebrate Hot and Spicy Food Day with?
