The Olive Garden Meatball Pizza Bowl has been unveiled by the restaurant chain as a new Lunch Duos menu offering that will provide customers with a meal that is something of a hybrid between pasta and pizza.
Coming as part of the brand's recent shift towards unexpected menu revamps, the dish consists of a baked pizza bowl that has been filled with meatballs, meat sauce and melted Italian cheeses. This makes it appealing to consumers who are looking for a new way to enjoy their favorite foods and a dish that will surely help to reinvigorate interest in the Italian cuisine restaurant chain.
The Olive Garden Meatball Pizza Bowl is only available during lunchtime service from Monday to Friday before 3pm.
