Erbelli’s Pizza of the Month: Cajun Candy Chicken Pizza

August 5, 2026

What Makes Erbelli’s Pizza of the Month Worth Trying?

At Erbelli’s, we love the classics. Pepperoni, sausage, cheese, and all the familiar favorites will always have a place at the table.

But sometimes, pizza should wander off the map a little.

That is exactly why we created our Pizza of the Month.

Each month, our crew gets a chance to build something different, something bold, and something customers will not find on the everyday menu. The goal is simple: create a limited-time pizza with enough personality to make people curious, hungry, and maybe even a little obsessed.

This month’s creation is the Cajun Candy Chicken Pizza.

Sweet, Spicy, Smoky

The Cajun Candy Chicken Pizza is built around contrast.

It starts with a Cajun-seasoned crust, which gives every bite a little extra flavor before you even reach the toppings. From there, we add creamy ricotta blended with hot sauce, seasoned chicken, candied bacon, red onion, mozzarella, feta, and fresh basil.

The result is a pizza that hits several notes at once:

  • Sweet from the candied bacon
  • Spicy from the hot sauce and Cajun seasoning
  • Smoky and savory from the chicken and bacon
  • Creamy from the ricotta and mozzarella
  • Bright and fresh from the basil and red onion

It is not just heat for the sake of heat. The flavors are balanced so the pizza still feels rich, satisfying, and easy to enjoy.

Why We Started Pizza of the Month 30 Years Ago

Pizza of the Month gives our kitchen crew room to be creative.

We spend a lot of time thinking about what flavors work together, what toppings customers are excited about, and how to create something that still feels unmistakably Erbelli’s.

It also gives our guests a reason to try something new.

Some customers order the same favorite every visit, and there is nothing wrong with that. But every now and then, it is fun to trade the usual order for something unexpected.

That is where Pizza of the Month comes in.

Made for a Limited Time

The Cajun Candy Chicken Pizza is only available for a limited time.

That means once the month is over, it may be gone.

Some monthly pizzas may come back later if customers love them enough, but there are no guarantees. Part of the fun is trying each one while it is here.

So if the combination of Cajun seasoning, chicken, candied bacon, ricotta, feta, red onion, and basil sounds like your kind of pizza, this is the time to give it a shot.

An Erbelli’s Tradition For Thirty Years

We want Pizza of the Month to become something customers look forward to.

A new month means a new flavor, a new idea, and a new reason to stop in.

Some months may be spicy. Some may be loaded with meat. Others may lean cheesy, smoky, sweet, or completely unexpected.

The one thing they will have in common is that each one will be created to stand out.
