March 19, 2009
DEDHAM, Mass. -- Papa Gino's Pizzeria and D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches have introduced two new anytime menu concepts, the first in either chain's history.
Papa Gino's Pizzeria unveiled its PapaRoll, a collection of three signature fillings rolled into crusty pizza dough, retailing for $2.99 each.
D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches introduced the Grilled Quesadilla, with three initial offerings featuring D'Angelo's most popular fillings sandwiched between grilled flour tortillas and retailing for $2.99 each.
Both Papa Gino's and D'Angelo want to capture a share of the "snack/anytime" market by creating signature menu items that offer premium-quality ingredients, according to a news release. The PapaRoll and Grilled Quesadilla can be eaten as an appetizer, for an afternoon snack or as an accompaniment to lunch or dinner. Both D'Angelo and Papa Gino's feature a vegetarian option for the Grilled Quesadilla and PapaRoll, respectively.
The three PapaRolls include:
- Meatball & Cheese - Papa Gino's signature marinara sauce layered with sliced meatballs, topped with Asiago
- Spicy Pepperoni - Papa Gino's signature pizza sauce and cheese layered with spicy pepperoni and topped with Asiago
- Broccoli & Cheese with Roasted Red Peppers - Papa Gino's signature cheese layered with fresh broccoli and roasted red peppers and topped with Asiago
The three Grilled Quesadilla offerings include:
- Number 9 - A take on D'Angelo's most popular sandwich, this quesadilla features grilled steak tossed with sautéed mushrooms, onions, peppers and topped with American and white Cheddar cheese
- Chicken Stir Fry - Premium grilled chicken breast tossed with sautéed mushrooms, onions and peppers and topped with American and white Cheddar cheese
- Classic Vegetable - Sautéed mushrooms, onions and peppers topped with American and white Cheddar cheese
The PapaRolls and Grilled Quesadillas will be supported by a radio and print advertising campaign in Papa Gino's and D'Angelo's major New England media markets, an e-mail blast effort, online advertising and an aggressive coupon program throughout March and April.
Papa Gino's Holdings Corp. is the parent company of Papa Gino's and D'Angelo Grilled Sandwiches. Papa Gino's Holdings Corp. operates more than 370 company-owned and franchised Papa Gino's, D'Angelo and dual-location restaurants.
