All of our fresh hand-stretched dough is made fresh every day in every store. Our Original™ style pizzas have more fresh toppings than any of our competitors. With each bite of an Original, you'll taste all the toppings, sauce and crust, whether it's our Sticky Fingers Pizza (loaded with eight toppings) or any of our create your own, specialty and premier pizzas.

But as the times have changed, so have we. Not everyone likes thick crust and many people are price conscious. So, in 2011 we launched our new Pizza D'Lish line, with thinner crust and a nice balance of toppings. In most of our stores, all large D'Lish pizzas sell for just $7.99. This product has been a fantastic addition to our full product line and has improved sales even during the down economy.
