Donatos is best known for its thin crust pizzas with edge-to-edge toppings, but this season the chain may become best known for dessert with the launch of its sweet new Holiday Twists.
Donatos recently announced that it will be adding new Holiday Twists to the dessert menu at all of its traditional locations for just a limited time. The seasonal dessert consists of a sweet pull-apart bread drizzled with a warm vanilla icing, and topped with a generous portion of red and green sprinkled. The dessert is meant to share and one order can feed up to four people. As Donatos Chief Marketing Officer, Jodie Conrad, explains, "Pizza is all about bringing people together, and Holiday Twists are a delicious and fun way to cap off any meal. Our customers have loved the different varieties that we’ve introduced over the past year, and we are excited to give them another option to celebrate the many holidays coming up in a tasty way."
