National pizza chain brings thick crust option to locations in Manitoba and Saskatchewan

TORONTO, ON, December 14, 2016 – Pizza Pizza, Canada´s leading pizza chain, has launched its new pan pizza, a thicker and fluffier addition to its pizza menu, exclusively at locations in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

“Simultaneously crispy and airy, the pan pizza means your carefully selected toppings aren´t the only star of the show,” said Pat Finelli, chief marketing officer for Pizza Pizza. “We researched what our customers want and have given them an opportunity to try something new.”

Also known as deep-dish, pan pizza is baked in a deep pan with high sides, which produces a thicker rising crust, with a light crispy outer layer. The thicker base makes it sturdier to handle a heavy load of toppings, but also hold its own with simple choices like plain cheese or classic pepperoni. The addition becomes Pizza Pizza´s fourth crust option, along with classic, whole grain and gluten free.

Pan pizza is available for order in large size only, now at the 20 locations across Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Customers can try the new crust as part of Pizza Pizza´s Super Pan Deal, a large two-topping pan pizza for $9.99, or by customizing their favourite large pizza with the new crust option.
I have heard this for weeks in Toronto. It's pretty old now. I wouldn't try it as I loathe Pizza Pizza. Even though I love pan pizza (growing up with Pizza Hut) but for the last 10 years it's all about Dominos' pan pizza. Pizza Hut has gone severely done in quality.

I suspect Pizza Pizza will be more like Little Cesars. A lot of extra crust / bread. This is not Chicago style pizza.

I doubt Chicago is on Pizza Pizza's mind. Just simply how to compete with Pizza hut & others that already offer pan pizza.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Did anyone find out more about this deep dish pizza joint opening in the summer? Or was it just about Double D's?
