CPK's limited-time Cacio e Pepe Pizza and Habanero Carnitas Pizza

CPK’s featured pizzas this month continue the brand’s legacy of creativity and bold, unexpected flavors, including:

• Cacio e Pepe Pizza: Inspired by the classically simple Roman pasta, this pizza starts with fresh mozzarella and Romano cheeses, hearth-baked with plenty of cracked black pepper, then topped with creamy Stracciatella (Burrata) and delicate shaved Parmesan – truly cheesy, peppery perfection.
• Habanero Carnitas Pizza: Back on the menu by popular demand, this pizza which first debuted in 2011, features seasoned and slow-cooked pulled pork, red onions, cilantro pesto, Mozzarella and Queso Quesadilla cheese, served with spicy habanero salsa on the side for guests to create their perfect level of heat.
• CPKids Jack-O-Lantern Pizza: Our 7” pepperoni pizzas, specially shaped for the season, are available for only $5, whether fully cooked or as build your own Take & Bake kits. Perfect for parties all month long or pre-trick or treating.

"While every pizza brand celebrates this month, National Pizza Month is our time to shine," said Chef Paul Pszybylski, VP of Culinary Innovation at CPK. "We lead the way with pizza flavor, quality, and creativity – where every ingredient is chosen with intention and brought together to create a memorable and craveable experience for our guests.”
