DALLAS, Oct. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Need a cure for boring pizza toppings? With some faith, trust and Magic Dust, Pie Five Pizza will perk up those taste buds and its newest creation will have you bacon for more. Starting October 27, the carnivorously inclined will be able to add even more meat to their day with the Italian Meatza Pizza. This extra meaty pie is bringing together members of the cured meat family with Italian sausage, bacon, salami and pepperoni bubbling up through a mozzarella blanket over a marinara blend.

"We love creating new flavor profiles for our guests and the Italian Meatza Pizza brings the best of four delicious meats to the table," said Patty Scheibmeir, vice president of R&D and product innovation for Pie Five Pizza Co. "Our guests get excited about our limited time specialty pizzas – it gives them options to try something new and even modify them to their taste – at Pie Five we're all about the individual."

What's a meat up without friends? Customers can add one of Pie Five's side salads or desserts like the indulgent chocolate chip or turtle brownie dessert pie for a sweet compliment to this brawny Italian masterpiece. The meat feast won't last forever as the Italian Meatza Pizza will be saying "Ciao" on November 6.

At Pie Five, guests can choose from more than a million combinations of farm fresh ingredients, artisan sauces and handcrafted crust varieties. Pie Five pies bake in just 145 seconds in a custom-designed, state-of-the-art oven. By the time the guest arrives at the register, their hot, bubbly, pizza perfection is ready. Additionally, they can add one of Pie Five's freshly-tossed handmade salads served in a baked pizza dough bowl or a decadent home-baked brownie or cookie pie to their meal. The rapidly expanding chain is capitalizing on growing consumer demand for fresh dining options and artisan pizzas without the wait.
