PITTSBURGH, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire/ — Vocelli Pizza, the authentic Italian pizza delivery chain, announces the grand opening of two new stores in the Carolinas on Wednesday, December 13. The newest Vocelli stores are located in Cornelius (NC) and Myrtle Beach (SC) and both open at 4:00pm. In celebration, Vocelli is offering its first 100 customers at both stores a grande pepperoni pizza, free. In addition to the 100 free pizzas, Vocelli is giving away great prizes and customers will be offered free slices of Vocelli’s signature gourmet pizza. “The free pizza makes for an exciting opening and is a great way to invite the community to enjoy our authentic Italian quality,” said Vocelli’s director of marketing, Jim Powers. The newest Vocelli Pizza stores are located at 20601 Torrence Chapel Road in Cornelius, NC and 4505 Socastee Boulevard in Myrtle Beach, SC, offering convenient home delivery to the surrounding communities.

These two new stores now make a total of five Vocelli stores in the Carolinas, with many more to come. And Vocelli Pizza’s expansion has been met with overwhelming response from pizza lovers in each market. “There has been a lot of excitement surrounding our openings in these markets,” said Powers. “We’re happy to be able to deliver our brand of authentic Italian pizza in these communities.”

The Vocelli Pizza brand builds on the company’s commitment to quality ingredients and menu offerings, a staple of the brand since its inception in 1988. Their award-winning pizza starts with quality dough, mixed with extra virgin olive oil and hand-tossed for each order. The pizzas are topped with Vocelli’s private-labeled sauce and are smothered with mozzarella cheese. Each pie is finished with only market-fresh toppings — from roasted red peppers and crisp red onions, to farm-fresh sausage and Italian-style pepperoni.

In addition to the classic pepperoni pie, Vocelli’s menu headlines gourmet pizza, panini subs, insalatas, strombolis, breadsticks, bruschetta, wings and even cannolis for dessert. The pies include authentic Italian gourmet names like garlic spinaci, chicken pesto, veggie primavera and chicken spinaci.

Vocelli Pizza is headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA and operates over 100 east coast locations offering pizza for carry-out and delivery. The company has realized franchise growth due to low start-up costs that cover training, site selection assistance, and a cooperative marketing program. Vocelli Pizza offers area development packages to qualified franchises.
