Family-owned pizza franchise Donatos Pizza has unveiled its new Bakery Crust Pizza, a product designed to cater to budget-conscious consumers.  

The launch comes as families are seeking more affordable dining options due to rising inflation. 

The Bakery Crust Pizza offers a square, thicker crust, smoked provolone cheese and a selection of fresh toppings. 

It can be cut into nine squares and is available with up to three toppings.  

The square-cut pizza is positioned as an ideal choice for families and groups.

Donatos is offering an introductory deal in which customers can purchase two one-topping Bakery Crust Pizzas for $19.99, or a single pizza for $11.99.

“Our new Bakery Crust Pizza is a perfect option for families who want to enjoy a hearty, quality meal without overspending.”
