Hunt Brothers Pizza, which describes itself as the No. 1 branded pizza program in the convenience store industry, has announced the return of the Italian Trio Pizza. The specialty pie became available on October 21 at participating store partners.
“We are thrilled to bring back the Italian Trio Pizza following the incredible response it received last year,” said Dee Cleveland, Hunt Brothers Pizza’s director of marketing. “Our LTO program continues to be a revenue driver for our c-store partners, and we look forward to giving our consumers yet another reason to visit their local c-stores.”
The Italian Trio Pizza this fall will feature the brand’s original crust, signature tomato sauce and part-skim mozzarella cheese. It’s topped with Italian sausage, cured salami, cup-and-char pepperoni and a sprinkling of Hunt Brothers’ secret blend of Italian seasoning. Preparation is finished with the brand’s signature Just Rite Spice prior to baking.
First introduced in 2023 with an herbal seasoned crust, the pizza is being served with the brand’s staple original crust for the first time. Hunt Brothers Pizza’s partners can offer a whole 12″ pizza or Hunk A Pizza (1/4 of a 12” pizza) of the Italian Trio Pizza while supplies last.
C-store pizza has risen to become a strong competitor to pizza restaurants in recent years. According to Circana CREST consumer survey data, 199 million servings of pizza were ordered from convenience stores in the 12 months ending August 2024.
