Dough-based side dishes have become a mainstay at many pizzerias, but the Round Table Pizza Bacon & Cheddar Twists are crafted to help set them apart from the competition.
The menu item builds on the popularity of the brand's signature Garlic Parmesan Twists and sees them packed with bacon and cheddar before being baked to perfection. The side dish is thus inherently snacking-friendly, while also making a great appetizer or side dish. The menu item comes served with a side of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing to help round out the dish as a tasty, indulgent complement, or alternative, to pizza.
Brand Marketing Manager Jillian Bowman commented on the Round Table Pizza Bacon & Cheddar Twists saying, "While our beloved fresh-baked pizzas often take center stage, the right appetizer can elevate the entire experience. Our all-new Bacon & Cheddar Twists provide a flavor-packed option for guests as part of our growing Shareables menu, which features fan-favorite appetizers such as Mozzarella Sticks, Jalapeño Poppers, and more."
