Casey’s continues to innovate with new Jalapeno Popper Pizza
While Casey’s is the fifth-largest pizza chain, the company appreciates that food innovation balanced with its freshly made dough and ingredients is key to ensuring guests get the best possible food. The newest pizza, Jalapeno Popper Pizza, combines two favorite foods for a bold slice of deliciousness.
Casey’s is never afraid to balance classic, favorite pizza toppings with creative approaches. Whether it is a beer-infused sauce for its birthday celebration or loading up the pepperoni for an overindulgent slice, there are no shortage of options to transform that pie.
The latest offering, Jalapeno Popper Pizza, innovates a favorite appetizer into a slice. Going into fall and football season, it seems to be the food mashup that has a built-in audience for tailgating, parties, or anyone who is craving a new approach to the pizza toppings.
As Tom Brennan, Casey’s Chief Merchandising Officer said, “Casey’s new Jalapeño Popper Pizza is the latest evidence of our promise to lead the way in unexpected food innovations, proving that you can enjoy a delicious, boldly flavored meal from a convenience store. Perfect for a football tailgate or game watch party, the Jalapeño Popper Pizza brings a fantastic twist to the classic appetizer and is guaranteed to leave you craving more.”
Before the spice adverse crowd shies away from this new food offering, the flavor is approachable. Like the classic pub appetizer, the Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese helps to temper the spice. Whether it is the pickled jalapenos or the drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey, the slow burn is a subtle note, rather than igniting a blaze.
In some ways, this pizza is as much about the cheese as it is about the jalapenos. The blend of real cheddar and mozzarella cheeses as well as the Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese make it an ooey, gooey bite. It might be time to ask that Chief Pizza and Beer officer for a beverage recommendation to wash down that big bite.
Lastly, the pizza includes bacon. After all, everything is better with bacon and this slice is no different.
Casey’s new Jalapeno Popper Pizza is available now for a limited time. A large pizza retails for $16.99.
