Donatos Pizza Introduces New Chicken-Flavored Pizzas and Housemade Ranch

Donatos Pizza, renowned for its Edge to Edge® toppings and commitment to quality, is energizing its menu with the introduction of two new chicken pizzas along with an innovative housemade ranch dressing. Starting August 24th, enthusiasts of chicken pizza will have two permanent additions to look forward to: the Buffalo Chicken Dip Pizza and the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza.

A Flavorful Ranch Upgrade

At the heart of this exciting launch is Donatos' new ranch dressing, revolutionizing the familiar condiment. This freshly made ranch incorporates real buttermilk and is served in dipping cups rather than traditional packets, enhancing the overall dining experience. With a more robust and flavorful profile, this upgraded ranch is designed to be both a dip and topping, allowing customers to enjoy its vibrant taste in versatile ways. To encourage fans to try this improved dressing, Donatos will offer a complimentary sample of the new ranch with every large pizza purchased, available for a limited time only.

Ranch: America's Favorite

Ranch dressing has maintained its status as America’s preferred condiment since 1992, and according to a Forbes report, 75% of Americans express their fondness for it. The rise of ranch's popularity has also transcended borders, as international guests visiting the U.S. for events like the World Cup have taken to social media to share their enthusiasm for this creamy dressing. This launch is Donatos' way of leveraging the ranch craze, providing a homemade and refined option that resonates with a diverse audience.

“Ranch has evolved into a phenomenon. At Donatos Pizza, we want to spearhead this movement,” states Kevin King, the President and CEO of Donatos Pizza. “Our new ranch offers an elevated, homemade alternative to a product already loved by many, complemented by two unique chicken pizzas meant to showcase its flavor.”

Introducing the New Pizzas

Buffalo Chicken Dip Pizza

Inspired by the beloved flavor of buffalo chicken dip, this new offering combines boneless chicken wings seasoned with hot chicken rub, jalapeños, and Gorgonzola crumbles atop Alfredo sauce and a layer of shredded provolone cheese. Finished with a mild wing sauce drizzle and served with the new ranch on the side, this pizza plays with creamy, tangy, and spicy elements, allowing diners to enjoy the richness offset by the cooling ranch.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

This pizza features a delightful mix of tender, sliced chicken breast, freshly diced Roma tomatoes, crispy bacon pieces, and Donatos’ signature Romano cheese blend all laid on the renowned Famous Thin crust. The new ranch drizzled over the top adds a savory twist, enhancing the flavor profile with its creamy consistency. This combination creates a harmonious balance of flavors that’s both indulgent and refreshing.

“Creating our new ranch dressing was about crafting an experience rather than an afterthought,” notes Jodie Conrad, Chief Marketing Officer of Donatos Pizza. “Made with real buttermilk, we’re offering a richer experience—one that pairs beautifully with both our buffalo chicken dip pizza and our chicken bacon ranch pizza, giving guests a range of flavor experiences from savory to spicy.”

For added convenience, customers looking to explore these exciting new additions can find their nearest Donatos Pizza store via their website.
