According to a new survey commissioned by Noodles & Company, 46% of respondents eat pizza at least once a week during the holidays, but 70% say they'd rather have noodles—and this season, the brand is positioning itself as a comforting alternative choice to combat pizza fatigue.
To support and simplify holiday hosting, Noodles & Company is serving up a lineup of limited-time offers for teams at the office to family get-togethers. From November 1st to 30th, there's a buy one catering pan, get one 25% off deal, and from November 18th to December 31st, customers can make the most of 15% off a catering order over $150. "From our classic Wisconsin Mac & Cheese and bold new Chili Garlic Ramen to fan favorites like Japanese Pan Noodles and Pesto Cavatappi, there's truly something for everyone," said Steve Kennedy, executive vice president of marketing at Noodles & Company.
