First National Pizza Company to Deliver Cauliflower Wings

COLUMBUS, OH (January 25, 2021) – Known for 57 years of piling fresh, premium toppings Edge to Edge® on its famous thin crust pizzas, Donatos is also on the cutting edge of menu trends by pizza companies when it comes to offering options to fit various dietary needs.

The family-owned business, which now has products served in 261 locations coast to coast, made news in 2013 when it successfully launched gluten free crust system-wide in response to the growing demand from customers. Then, a year ago, Donatos answered the bell again by adding cauliflower crust to rave reviews and with it four new signature pizzas featuring plantbased sausage, becoming the first pizza delivery brand to market the new launch.

Now, the brand is excited to announce the addition of cauliflower wings on January 25 to its menu lineup that already includes traditional and boneless wings. These wings, which utilize cauliflower florets, are oven roasted to perfection. They are served with a choice of four different dry rubs or three different sauces.

“We are thrilled about the addition of cauliflower wings to our menu,” said Donatos CEO Tom Krouse. “Plant-based foods are more in demand now than ever, and our menu innovation team continues to develop great products to meet our customers’ needs.”

The extension of the wing category adds new variety to the Donatos menu, which includes oven-baked subs, fresh salads, appetizers, and desserts in addition to the brand’s featured product – pizza. As an added convenience, all menu items are available for pick-up and
delivery.
