The Cincinnati-based chain Dewey's Pizza is celebrating stone fruit season in a tasty way by launching an exclusive new Peach Street pizza. The catch is that this seasonal pizza will only be available for a single week.
The Peach Street pizza was originally teamed up by a Dewey's Pizza staff member during an internal recipe contest. As David Igel, Head of Product Innovation for Dewey's Pizza, explains, "The Recipe Battle is an internal contest that our team members look forward to... We were thrilled with the variety of flavors presented by the teams." The winning pizza receipe features olive oil, mozzarella cheese, fontina cheese, fresh basil, Vidalia onions, prosciutto, and some juicy white wine-infused peaches.
The new Peach Street pizza will be available from Tuesday, July 30 until Monday, August 5.
