Grimaldi's Pizzeria has partnered with fellow Brooklyn-born brand Mike's Hot Honey to create the Exxtra Pepperoni & Hot Honey Pizza available nationwide, according to a press release.

"We are incredibly proud of our Brooklyn roots, and we could not be more thrilled to partner with another great Brooklyn company, Mike's Hot Honey, to create a seasonal pizza," Joseph Ciolli, Grimaldi's Pizzeria CEO, said in the release. "We've created a coal-fired pizza that delivers both sweet and spicy flavors as a topping to Grimaldi's own extra pepperoni pizza, and Mike's Hot Honey was the perfect product to add that special flavor. Mike and his team were fantastic partners and we can't wait to share these pizzas with our fans."

"As this latest collaboration with Grimaldi's shows, the interest in hot honey continues to grow and has become almost ubiquitous as a pizza topping," Mike Kurtz, founder of Mike's Hot Honey, said in the release. "Partnering with such an authentic and well-known pizzeria chain like Grimaldi's is a highlight for our brand and we look forward to consumers enjoying this latest creation."
