VANCOUVER, Wash. – March 29, 2011 – Papa Murphy’s International today announced the launch of the Combo Magnifico, the first pizza to debut from its Italia line. Starting with a new not-too-thin, not-too-thick crust, the Combo Magnifico bursts with flavor from its bold new zesty red sauce, large deli sliced pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses and zesty herbs. Other pizzas in the new Italia line are currently in test.
According to Papa Murphy’s Vice President of Product Development Carron Harris, the Combo Magnifico was designed to have well-balanced flavor. “We engineered the sauce to have a wow factor by stimulating different taste senses. The sharpness of the garlic hits your taste buds first, followed up by the depth and zestiness of the herbs. And it ends nicely with the sweetness of the tomato.”
Like the chain’s other products, the Combo Magnifico is made fresh each day in Papa Murphy’s 1,250+ locations and follows the same at-home baking instructions. Price and participation varies nationwide.
