Casey’s is introducing its brand-new Pickle Wrap Pizza, a twist on a classic Midwest appetizer, just in time for National Pickle Day on November 14.
According to a company press release, the Pickle Wrap Pizza is available at select locations in Minnesota and Iowa through December 3. The pizza features Casey’s made-from-scratch dough and is topped with Philadelphia whipped cream cheese, chopped ham, smoky bacon, real mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and thick-cut pickles, available on both original and thin crust.
“We are always experimenting with ways to serve guests the flavors they crave, test out trending ingredients and explore fresh ideas to add to each slice,” said Tom Brennan, Casey’s chief merchandising officer. “Our bold, inventive Pickle Wrap Pizza is bringing the people what they want in a way that is distinctly Casey's.”
The company said the pizza’s “tangy, crunchy layers deliver a bold, on-trend flavor that will excite guests.”
The pizza was created by Casey’s district manager and Minnesota native Andrew Cairl at Casey’s annual pizza competition earlier this year, where it was a finalist.
“If you’re from the Midwest, then you know the ham-and-pickle roll-up. We’ve turned that traditional tailgate or potluck appetizer into a Casey’s pizza,” said Cairl. “The dill pickle stands out, and while this pizza will appeal to pickle fans, its uniqueness can even pull people out of their comfort zones for a delicious Pickle Wrap Pizza surprise.”
