Even for a decade that's more commonly associated with Gushers and Dunkaroos (and maybe a trip to the dentist) than with groundbreaking culinary innovation, the 1990s had plenty of beloved foods that made their way into restaurants and home kitchens. While perhaps not as long-gone as the food you'd find on our 1970s or 1980s list, these 13 items below are sure to evoke fond memories of Lisa Frank school supplies, Beanie Babies, and other relics of the '90s glory days.
Stuffed crust pizza
Give Pizza Hut a standing ovation for creating this innovative gem. It helped alleviate the sadness that comes with reaching the crust on a slice of pizza and realizing you have no cheese left—unless you think crust is the best part of pizza, in which case it just made the experience even better. Here's what every fast food chain looked like the day it opened.
Sun-dried tomatoes
There was a boom in popularity of Mediterranean food in the 1990s, and with that came an explosive passion for sun-dried tomatoes. For better or for worse, no salad, pasta, or pizza went without a wrinkly, flavor-concentrated version of a tomato.
Focaccia
In a similar Italian-inspired vein, you would find focaccia in every restaurant bread basket. You can think of it as pizza dough that's yeastier (and thus taller) with fewer toppings, and even though it had its heyday in the '90s, it has existed in Italy for thousands of years. And yes, the chances of being served focaccia topped with sun-dried tomato were quite high. Get more vintage favorites we love today with 50 Vintage Recipes That Still Taste Great.
Tall food
Chefs were literally shooting for the stars in the '90s. Tall food, or vertical food, was the accurately named practice of taking a dish and seeing how high it could stack without falling. Presentation was key, meaning French fries and chocolate cake alike came in towers, not piles or slices. Chef Alfred Portale at Gotham Bar & Grill, which recently closed, is said to have originated this trend.

Last weekend Ben and I visited that new leisure center that everyone is talking about. We decided to go to the ice-skating rink first. Ben slipped a few times while he was trying to do acrobatic tricks, but luckily he did not hurt himself. After that, we went to the main hall to see what happened there.
On one side of the hall a rock band was playing while on the other side some skateboarders were giving a display.
The Skateboarders were fantastic so we decided to stay and watch them.
After the exhibition, we both wanted to go to the shops inside the center. But it was nearly rush hour and the shops were getting really crowded so we went to the multiplex cinema to see The Illusionist. What a fantastic film!
