“New croissant-inspired crust pizzas are a delicious twist on our CPK thin crust and give consumers new elevated toppings they’re looking for like hot honey,” said Elizabeth Hanculak, senior brand manager at Nestlé. “It’s yet another example of our ability to leverage rapid innovation alongside the brand’s heritage and California roots to provide a premium at-home eating experience.”
The pizza contains flaky layers and a crispy-thin crust that are available in the following flavors:
- Uncured Pepperoni & Hot Honey: A marinara-based pie topped with mozzarella cheese and uncured pepperoni. Each pizza also comes with its own serving of Mike’s Hot Honey; and
- Bacon & Caramelized Onion: This pie features a buttery and creamy brie sauce topped with roasted garlic, mozzarella cheese, bacon and caramelized onion.
“Pizza is a part of our brand heritage, so when California Pizza Kitchen reached out about adding a Mike’s Hot Honey drizzle to their new Croissant Inspired Crust line, we were excited,” said Mike’s Hot Honey founder Mike Kurtz. “The unique crust is a delicious twist on frozen pizza and pairs perfectly with our chili-infused honey. We’re confident consumers are going to enjoy this new frozen pizza line and we're happy to be a part of it.”
