Fazoli’s Debuts 5 Craveable Favorites Under $5 & Under 500 Cals

— January 26, 2022 — Lifestyle
Fazoli’s, the iconic Italian quick-serve brand, recently introduced five new "craveable favorites" that are all less than $5 with fewer than 500 calories. The new promotion includes five mouthwatering dishes: the Gluten-friendly Rotini with Marinara, the Keto Pepperoni & Bacon Flatbread, the 5-Piece Buffalo Boneless Wings, the Small Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, and the Small Fettuccine Alfredo.

“Our 5 Under $5 Under 500 Calories Menu allows our guests to experience classic Italian dishes at an incredible value, all while feeling confident that they’re sticking to their health goals. We’re constantly innovating our menu to best accommodate our guests’ dietary and lifestyle preferences to ensure we offer delicious options for every guest. Our new menu provides a quick, easy and delicious way to commit to better eating habits while still enjoying flavor-packed dishes,” said Director of Culinary Innovation Rick Petralia.
