Pizza Inn is bringing back its contactless off-premise buffet option, just in time for colder weather in many parts of the country and as the number of COVID-19 cases is escalating across the U.S.

The brand created its Contactless Buffet To-Go options to maximize value and variety for guests and lower the impact of reduced foot traffic near the beginning of the pandemic in the U.S. Now, it is adding three meals to the offering, all sized to feed between two and six people.

All pizzas on the Contactless Buffet To-Go are customizable by each half of the pie with allotment for a pair of toppings per side. That means that diners can get four different pizza flavors per order if they choose, according to a press release.

Likewise, Pizza Inn is offering three value meals for delivery or carryout, including a $12.99 Jojo's Party Pack, a $25.99 Family Feast and $32.99 Ultimate Variety offering with four half-pizzas and three sides. The side options include garlic rolls and cheesebread, chocolate chip Pizzert, cinnamon stromboli or garden salad.

"Our Contactless Buffet To-Go has been a huge success," Tiffany Betts, Pizza Inn director of marketing, said in the release. "Plus, it can be enjoyed anywhere! We are excited to offer these unique options for our guests."

Pizza Inn and its sister brand, Pie Five, are part of Rave Restaurant Group, which includes more than 200 store locations nationally. The company is based in Dallas.
