Schlotzsky’s is serving up a new Spicy Chicken and Bacon Pizza with an expected secret ingredient.
Schlotzsky’s recently announced the launch of its Spicy Line, which consists of hot sauce-infused breads and pizza crusts. The new Spicy Chicken and Bacon Pizza takes this spicy crust and pairs it with chicken, bacon, onions, jalapenos, tomato, two types of cheese, spicy mayo, and ranch. Meanwhile, the Spicy Sausage and Peppers Calzone takes the same spicy crust and wraps it around Italian sausage, mozzarella, jalapenos, onions, banana peppers, and garlic spread. For something slightly different, the new Spicy Original sandwich features freshly-baked sourdough bread that's been infused with hot sauce and paired with ham, salami, tomato, onion, lettuce, three types of cheese, and spicy mayo.
The whole Spicy Line is available now for a limited time.
