Drawing inspiration from the traditional barbeque favorite, the BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza starts with Casey's made-from-scratch dough before being topped with Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, real mozzarella, slow-smoked pulled pork, bacon, cheddar cheese, red onion and thick-cut pickles.
"Casey's new BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza exemplifies the unexpected food innovation we continue to deliver to our guests, emphasizing the surprising reality that you can get a delicious meal with fresh ingredients and bold flavors from a convenience store," said Tom Brennan, Casey's chief merchandising officer. "As the nation's fifth largest pizza chain, Casey's continues to deliver the combinations our guests crave, and this time it's the sweet and savory tastes you'd expect from a summer BBQ."
Available for $16.99 for a large-sized pie, guests can order the new pizza online or in the Casey's app.
If guests aren't in the mood for pizza but are still craving that barbeque flavor, the retailer is also introducing the King's Hawaiian Pulled Pork Slider. The limited-time sandwich is made with hand-trimmed, slow-smoked pulled pork, topped with Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce and thick-cut pickles, and served on three King's Hawaiian slider buns for $6.49.
