AUSTIN, Texas ­ February 20, 2007 ­ Gatti’s Pizza spices up its menu with the introduction of Jalapeño cheese sticks. The company’s latest creation takes Gatti’s great cheese sticks and adds a zesty kick of jalapeño to tantalize taste buds.
 
Gatti’s continues its reputation for delivering the best ingredients on earth by combining its pan-perfect dough, smoked provolone cheese and spicy jalapeños with flavor-enhancing spices.
 
Gatti’s Pizza enthusiasts in Austin, Texas may now sink their teeth into the new spicy cheese sticks at all local restaurants, or at home by ordering online at www.gattispizza.com.
 
Austin-area residents can sample a medium order of Jalapeño cheese sticks for free until March 27 when they order a large pizza online at full price.
 
Customers may purchase a medium order of Jalapeño cheese sticks for $6.99 and a large order for $7.99 – each featuring a 1.5 oz. container of ranch dipping sauce.
 
Select locations outside the Austin area will begin carrying the new item starting April 1.  Prices may vary.
 
“Gatti’s Pizza is dedicated to providing our customers with quality food and family entertainment,” said Mike Mrlik, CEO of Gatti’s Pizza. “We hope our customers enjoy the spicier version of our classic Gatti’s favorite.”
