Palermo, Kellanova launch Cheez-It frozen pizzas

USA – Palermo Villa, Inc. has partnered with Kellanova to introduce Cheez-It frozen pizzas, featuring a 12-inch ultra-thin crust that is flavored like the original Cheez-It, topped with 100% real cheese and a variety of popular pizza toppings.

The new pizza line comes in three delicious varieties:

• Italian Four Cheese: A blend of whole milk mozzarella, yellow cheddar, parmesan, and Romano cheeses with marinara sauce on top of an ultra-thin and crispy Cheez-It flavored crust.
• Pepperoni: Whole milk mozzarella, yellow cheddar, pepperoni, and marinara sauce atop an original Cheez-It flavored crust.
• Cheddar Jack Supreme: A combination of pepperoni, Italian sausage, green and red peppers, black olives, onions, yellow cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese, all resting on an original Cheez-It flavored crust with marinara sauce.

“Cheez-It frozen pizza combines the best aspects of both categories. Starting with a crust that resembles a large Cheez-It cracker — crispy, cheesy, and square-shaped — we then top it with customer-favorite toppings that perfectly complement the crust,” said Nick Fallucca, Chief Innovation Officer for Palermo.

The pizzas can be purchased at select nationwide retailers, including Kroger, Ahold, H-E-B, Winn-Dixie, Wegmans, and Food City, with plans to expand to additional stores by August.
