- Two new cheese stuffed crust pizzas
with popular topping combinations: pepperoni and three meat. The
new Culinary Circle pizzas feature a mozzarella-filled crust and a
hefty amount of premium toppings, perfect for kids or entertaining.
The Culinary Circle pizza line includes 28 different pizzas in a
variety of styles, flavors and crust types — from thin and
flatbread to self-rising, multigrain, biscuit and the new cheese
stuffed.
- Three new wing sauces in
palate-pleasing flavors. These flexible finishing sauces are
perfect for pairing with chicken tenders, shrimp, or even sautéed
beef or pork cubes for a simple, quick and tasty appetizer.
- Bold & Peppery features a punch of
vinegar and cayenne peppers with savory tomato and molasses
- Parmesan Garlic combines Italian
seasonings with robust Parmesan cheese and garlic for a rich,
creamy sauce
- Asian brings together a blend of chili
peppers with honey, rice wine and sesame for a sweet and spicy
flavor
- Three delectable new gelatos for
consumers who want to upgrade their indulgences: Caramel Cookie
Crunch, Mint Fudge and Chocolate Peanut Butter. The new Culinary
Circle gelatos feature on-trend flavors while offering a decadent,
but lower-in-fat alternative to ice cream.
