Leading California-based pizza chain Mountain Mike's is kicking off summer in a bold way with its new 'BBQ at the Ranch Pizza.'
Perfect for those who already pair their pizza with a side of ranch, the new BBQ at the Ranch Pizza combines savory BBQ flavors with the tanginess of the fan-favorite dressing. The pizza starts with the brand's freshly made pizza dough topped with a sweet and savory BBQ sauce, along with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, diced tomatoes, and diced onion. The pizza is then finished with fresh green onions and a generous drizzle of creamy ranch dressing. As Vice President of Marketing for Mountain Mike’s Pizza, Carol DeNembo, says, "Summer wouldn’t be complete without the classic flavors of BBQ, so we wrangled up something bold and delicious by combining quintessential flavors of the season into the perfect bite."
The new BBQ at the Ranch Pizza is available starting July 1, through until August 31, 2023.
