Based in Columbus in the US state of Ohio, Donatos and its franchise partners operate 175 stores.
The brand is also re-introducing its Hot Honey Wings, which will become a permanent fixture on the menu.
The Smoky Hot Honey Pizza is topped with pepperoni, hardwood-smoked bacon, caramelised onions, aged smoked provolone and woodfired chipotle seasoning, all finished with Mike’s Hot Honey.
The Smoky Hot Honey Chicken Sub features oven-baked, crispy woodfired chipotle chicken, jalapeños and hardwood-smoked bacon, finished with Mike’s Hot Honey.
Donatos is offering promotional pricing on these new menu items until 27 April. There will be $4 off a large Smoky Hot Honey Pizza with the promo code SMOKY.
The Smoky Hot Honey Chicken Sub is now part of the new $5 Pizza Pals menu. Customers can add a Pizza Pal featuring options such as subs, salads or calzatos for $5 with the purchase of any large pizza.
Donatos Pizza chief marketing officer Jodie Conrad stated: “Our new Smoky Hot Honey menu items are an elevated take on popular flavour pairings that are taking the restaurant industry by storm. We’ve seen remarkable enthusiasm for our Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza, which is now a permanent menu item, and we’re excited to build on that success.
“Hot honey is experiencing incredible momentum, and Datassential predicts it will outperform 100% of all other ingredients over the next four years.”
In January 2025, Donatos Pizza announced its expansion in Texas through a new franchise agreement for three locations in Houston.
