Fast-casual pizza brand Your Pie ushers in National Barbecue Month (May) with an LTO that celebrates the now-classic pizza combo of chicken and barbecue sauce. The craveable BBQ Chicken-Bacon-Ranch Pizza builds on that popular flavor duo, adding meaty, savory bacon, fresh cilantro and red onions, with a finish of herbaceous, creamy housemade ranch dressing.

“We’re excited to combine some of our fan-favorite menu items and introduce a new spin on our signature favorite BBQ Chicken Pizza,” says Lisa Dimson, Chief Marketing Officer. Given the continued success of this mainstay menu item, she predicts that the LTO will be a big hit with guests. The toppings, although new in this combination to patrons, are already in rotation throughout the menu. “This item makes use of ingredients in our existing lineup, helping our operators out by introducing a fun new take without bringing in new SKUs.”
