DALLAS, June 25, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Summer is for lovers - pizza lovers! Ditch your boring BBQ for Pie Five Pizza Co.'s new Carolina Golden BBQ Pie. The Pie Five pie-intists created their new pizza piled high with smoky pulled pork, crisp diced pickles, perfectly-melted cheddar, a kick of spice from fresh red onion and a tangy Carolina Gold BBQ sauce--with hints of sunshine and freedom.

"Customers are going to love the down-home flavor of this pizza that brings out the taste of summer fun in every bite," said Patty Scheibmeir, vice president of R&D and product innovation for Pie Five Pizza Co. "The Carolina Golden recipe is a unique flavor profile that is perfect this time of the year with its smoky pork and tangy BBQ sauce combination."

To compliment every zesty bite and bring out the pizza's complex flavor profile, Pie Five recommends pairing the Carolina Golden with a Coca-Cola Freestyle Cherry Vanilla Coke, available at participating locations.
