Boombozz brings back Kentucky Bourbon Pizza
September 13, 2009
Louisville, Ky.-based Tony Boombozz Pizza is bringing back its Kentucky Bourbon Pizza for the second year. Boombozz introduced the pizza, which features Four Roses Bourbon, last year in conjunction with September's Bourbon Heritage Month and the internationally-recognized Kentucky Bourbon Festival.
The inspiration for the Kentucky Bourbon Pizza came last year during a bartending competition organized by Four Roses where Boombozz founder Tony Palombino, a self-proclaimed bourbon fanatic, had been asked to serve as judge.
"As I was introducing Tony as one of our judges, I hinted that a bourbon-flavored pizza should be his next big creation," said Jim Rutledge, Four Roses' Hall of Fame Master Distiller. "It wasn't long after the event that Tony was experimenting with Four Roses in his recipes."
The Kentucky Bourbon Pizza features a special bourbon-infused barbecue sauce. Other toppings include hickory-grilled chicken, smoky bacon, roma tomatoes and red onions. Customers can order the pizza with extra bourbon-barbecue sauce or a "shot" of sauce on the side for dipping.
The Kentucky Bourbon Pizza also will be featured as the ‘Anniversary Pizza' during Tony Boombozz' 11th Anniversary Celebration in October.
