Blaze Pizza is celebrating the upcoming release of Warner Bros. Pictures' 'Practical Magic 2' by debuting a new movie-themed Spellbound Spread lineup.
Available from August 19th through October 27th, the new Spellbound Spread takes 'Practical Magic's' themes of sisterhood and moonlit mischief, and transforms them into three tasty menu items. First up is the Mystic Margherita Pizza, which features mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil, along with a Parm dusting and an olive oil drizzle. Then there's the Greenhouse Grecian Salad, which pairs fresh greens with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, artichokes, and feta. Lastly, there's the zero-proof Midnight Margarita Lemonade, which is bursting with citrus flavor. As Meghan Irwin, Vice President of Marketing at Blaze Pizza, says of the new menu, "Blaze has always been a place where guests come together and make the experience their own, so we wanted this partnership to give fans a real reason to gather with their coven, share a meal and celebrate the movie in a way that feels fun, flavorful and unmistakably Blaze.”

- Zero-proof Pairings
- Alcohol-free specialty beverages connected to pop culture moments reveal whitespace for inclusive, premium drink experiences in fast-casual settings.
- Gathering-centric Promotions
- Campaigns built around social rituals such as fandom meetups and shared meals signal new value in designing restaurant offers as community experiences.
Who This Affects Most
- Fast-casual Dining
- Brand partnerships with major entertainment studios can differentiate seasonal menus while increasing repeat visits through collectible, time-sensitive offerings.
