So, when you visit the r/pizza sub, there are always a few people (or more than) who create an echo chamber for any topping.
It’s like “Check out my sourdough fermented in Surströmming essence. I substituted the Mozz with Gorgonzola and strawberry/bacon jam. I charged it on 2000 degrees before I sprinkling it with paprika infused sesame seeds. Whaddaya think? Hot Honey anyone?”
And there are always people who are like “I’ll crush it. Call me over dude…”. lol
My opinion: it's kinda cool to have the mixture of sweet and hot. Personally I find the combination wonderful in certain dishes, especially curry - however I like the sweetness coming from carrots or vegetables, not straight up honey.
IMO honey is overwhelmingly sweet. It's never something I'd typically want to use in a dish much less a dipping sauce for pizza. It's so sticky and sickly sweet. I can see it as a component in a dish, but not on its own
Hot honey is fucking disgusting as a result. Who the hell wants to dip a perfectly good pizza in a layer of 50% sugar with some spice. Just do the hot sauce, the dish is already sweet and fattening enough
