Connecticut-based Riko's Pizza has launched five chicken-forward, limited-time menu offerings under the name Pollo di Buon Gusto. The items are available at all Riko's locations through Sept. 30, according to a press release.

The temporary additions include two specialty pizzas, two new wing flavors and a chicken slider:

Chicken Sausage Florentine Pizza: Thin crust topped with spinach, chicken sausage, spicy sausage, red onions, mozzarella blend, parmesan cheese and an olive oil drizzle.
Chicken and Pesto Pizza: Thin crust with nut-free pesto, parmesan, mozzarella, chicken sausage, ricotta, grape tomatoes and fresh basil.
Lemon Pepper Wings: Crispy wings tossed in a lemon pepper dry rub.
Thai Chili Pepper Wings: Wings tossed in a sweet and spicy Thai chili sauce with garlic.
Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Slider: Grilled chicken dipped in Riko's Sauce, topped with bacon, cheese and ranch on a toasted pretzel bun.

Carl Bachmann, president and CEO of Riko's Pizza, said the culinary team paired protein options with fresh ingredients to create a lineup suitable for multiple dining occasions.

"Just like everything we do at Riko's, the Pollo di Buon Gusto offerings were created with our guests in mind," Bachmann said in the press release. "Our culinary team has thoughtfully paired protein-packed options with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Over the past few months, we've continued to refine our menu innovation process, resulting in a lineup that offers something for every occasion. Whether guests are looking for a shareable appetizer, a lighter pie option, or a meal the whole family can enjoy, Pollo di Buon Gusto delivers. These dishes blend our Italian heritage with the quality, craftsmanship, and distinctive taste our guests have come to expect from Riko's."

Founded in 2011, Stamford-based Riko's Pizza operates 12 corporate and franchise locations across Connecticut, Florida, New York and North Carolina.
