Summer on the Menu at Pizza Capers

Online, January 2, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Pizza Capers has launched three new pizzas that put the 'mmmm' in Summer. Designed by Pizza Capers own franchisees and team members, the pizzas are sure to please customers looking for a gourmet treat over the holiday season.

Pizza Capers held its inaugural pizza making competition earlier this year, sourcing recipes and video entries from team members across Australia. Finalists were flown to the Gold Coast for a grand final showdown, and three winners were named; Pizza Capers Port Macquarie, Pizza Capers Hamilton and Pizza Capers Rockhampton.

Among the prize pool for the competition winners was the chance to have their pizza featured on the Pizza Capers menu, and this month the Chiang Mai Chicken and Prawn, Herbivore and Smokin' Salmon and Avo pizzas launched across Australia as part of Pizza Capers 'Summmmer' promotion.

Pizza Capers Managing Director Peter Jones said the brand was proud to be featuring pizzas designed by its own team members.

"It is great to be able to showcase the creativity and skills of our amazing team members by featuring the winning pizzas from our pizza making competition on our national menu," said Mr Jones.

"Our team are in our stores making pizzas day in and day out, so they know what our customers want and what ingredient combinations are popular.

"We received a high calibre of entries from across the country, but the three winning pizzas really wowed us with their exceptional taste."

Pizza Capers 'Summmmer' promotion runs for a limited time only, so customers are encouraged to get to their local store to try one of the winning pizzas during the holiday season, and leave their feedback about the new flavours at www.facebook.com.au/PizzaCapers.
