The Blaze Pizza Protein-zza has been introduced by the brand as a protein-packed pizza that embraces consumer demand for new options that don't skimp on protein content or flavor.
The pizza starts off with a cauliflower crust that's topped with shredded mozzarella, grilled chicken, mushrooms, onions, basil and a drizzle of buffalo sauce. The pizza boasts 56-grams of protein in total for almost 10-grams of protein in each slice and is expected to be right at home within the brand's existing protein-focused options including the Carnivore pizza. The protein-focused pizzas are each part of the brand's GLP-1-friendly menu revamp.
Chief Marketing Officer Casey Terrell spoke on the Blaze Pizza Protein-zza saying, "Today’s guests want meals that work for their lifestyles, whether that means prioritizing protein, following GLP-1-friendly habits, or simply eating more mindfully. With the Protein-zza and our existing menu, Blaze Pizza proves that high protein doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, choice, or indulgence.”
