With National Pizza Party Day just around the corner, Pepsi is taking the opportunity to remind everyone of the fact that pizza goes #BetterWithPepsi with the launch of the new Pepsi-Roni Pizza.
Pepsi teamed up with the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) Consulting, a business unit of The Culinary Institute of America (CIA), to reimagine America’s favorite pizza topping, unveiling the world’s first Pepsi-Roni Pizza made with Pepsi-infused pepperoni.
Since Pepsi is known to enhance the taste of pizza, the brand enlisted CIA chefs to reimagine and engineer a new type of pepperoni that’s infused with the rich caramel notes and brown spices that add the refreshing citrusy pop that’s found in Pepsi cola.
The unique topping recipe created by Pepsi and CIA Consulting includes a Pepsi Zero Sugar reduction instead of the water typically used in pepperoni preparation and layers the classic sweet and citrus zests Pepsi is known for with the standard spice blends found in pepperoni.
This Friday, May 20, 2022 from 11 AM to 3 PM, pizza fans located in New York City can try the first Pepsi-Roni Pizza for free in Lower Manhattan – the birthplace of pepperoni – at Made in New York Pizza West Village (561 Hudson St, New York, NY 10014), while supplies last.
Pizza fans who can’t make it to Manhattan for a slice of Pepsi-Roni Pizza can still experience the perfect pairing of Pepsi and pizza by getting their ice-cold Pepsi comped if enjoyed with a pizza in one of the following two ways
- Share a photo of yourself with a Pepsi and a pizza of your choice bought anywhere in the country that day on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook using the hashtag #BetterWithPepsi. Then, text “PEPSIANDPIZZA” to 81234 and upload the receipt(s) that show a pizza and a Pepsi purchase to get reimbursed for up to $3 through PayPal, Venmo or Digital Retailer Gift Card.
- Get $5 off DoorDash pizza orders of $15 or more if purchased with a Pepsi.
