Tim Hortons, the renowned Canadian coffee chain, has expanded its menu to include flatbread pizzas, marking a strategic move to attract customers beyond breakfast hours. The new offerings include four varieties: cheese, pepperoni, "bacon everything," and chicken Parmesan. These pizzas are part of Tim Hortons’ broader initiative to increase its market share in the afternoon and evening segments, leveraging the operational capacity and aiming for efficiency by diversifying its menu. The introduction of flatbread pizzas follows a two-year pilot program in select locations across Calgary, Greater Toronto, and Winnipeg, which has now culminated in a nationwide rollout.
The Tim Hortons flatbread pizzas are an affordable meal option with the Simply Cheese pizza starting at CAD 6.99, while the other flavors are priced at CAD 7.99 each. The pizzas are prepared fresh to order and oven-baked, ensuring a hot and ready-to-eat product. As of April 17, 2024, these flatbread pizzas are available across Canada at participating Tim Hortons locations. Additionally, starting May 1, customers will have the convenience of ordering flatbread pizzas for delivery through the Tim Hortons app, further enhancing accessibility to these new menu items.
