Market Street Innovation
This new design places a very familiar flavour into a specific supermarket context: the Morrisons Market Street range. This sub-brand is the grocer’s line for products that emulate the feel of its in-store fresh counters, from the bakery to the fishmonger. The packaging here is consistent with that established branding, using the familiar brown paper effect and Market Street logo.
The format is a ‘thin stonebaked’ pizza, a common base style for premium supermarket own-brands. The key detail is the banner proclaiming it as one of the ‘Real Flavour Innovation Editions’. This suggests a limited-run or trial product, designed to sit alongside a core range of more traditional toppings. The packaging is direct. It does what it needs to do.
A Supermarket Staple
BBQ pulled pork as a pizza topping is hardly a radical idea. For well over a decade, it has been a fixture on the menus of Pizza Hut, Domino’s, and countless independent takeaways and pubs. The combination usually involves replacing the standard tomato base with a sweet, smoky barbecue sauce, then adding slow-cooked pulled pork, red onion, and sometimes sweetcorn or peppers.
The flavour profile is mainstream. Its appearance here in a supermarket’s premium own-brand format isn’t a shock, but more of an inevitability. Pulled pork had its major trend moment in the mid-2010s and has since settled into the national comfort food repertoire. Presenting it on a stonebaked pizza base is a logical step for any retailer looking to keep its chilled aisle offerings aligned with casual dining trends.
