Pepe's Pizza debuts Chicken Diavolo pizza
February 9, 2023
Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana, widely known as Pepe's Pizza, has debuted a new pizza, the Chicken Diavolo pizza, available through March 26 at all locations, according to a press release.
Pizza diavolo means "deviled" pizza in Italian, a term commonly given to pies with spicy notes.
The Chicken Diavolo includes slices of mozzarella topped with oven-roasted chicken coated in hot sauce. The pizza also features white onions and gorgonzola cheese, grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. The pizza is made on Pepe's signature crispy yet chewy, slightly charred crust.
"Our customers play a huge role when it comes to curating our new menu ideas, and when we saw an increase in requests for a spicy pizza, we listened," Jennifer Kelly, granddaughter of Frank Pepe, said in the press release. "We put our own spin on a classic diavolo and created something savory that could be enjoyed by all heat-tolerance levels. While the Chicken Diavolo is on the mild side, those looking to kick up the spice even more can add hot cherry peppers. We're excited for all the Pepe's fans to try it!"
