Nation’s Fastest Growing Pizza Chain Launches
Magnifico Summer Pizza ParTEA Promotion
Marking an industry unique partnership coupling premium iced tea
and quality pizza, Marco’s Pizza is launching a refreshing
“Magnifico Summer” promotion featuring its newest Magnifico Pizza
with real-brewed brand Pure Leaf Iced Tea.
Starting June 26, 2017 and running through the end of August,
more than 800 Marco’s Pizza locations around the country will offer
a large Ultimate Magnifico Pizza paired with a 64-ounce Pure Leaf
Iced Tea for $12.99. A meat lover’s dream topped with regular
pepperoni, Old World Italian pepperoni, crumbled sausage and
Italian sausage, the Ultimate Magnifico pizza is a fan-favorite
among the brand’s loyal fans.
As part of the one-of-a-kind bundled promotion encouraging
consumers to enjoy summer pizza “ParTEAs,” Marco’s Pizza will host
a “Magnifico Summer” social media sweepstakes. Fans can share
photos on the brand’s Facebook page that portray the ways they make
their summer Magnifico at the pool, beach, picnics or backyard
gatherings with friends. Winners will receive summer Pizza ParTEAs
with free pizza and tea.
Recently ranked by consumers as America’s Favorite Pizza Chain
through Market Force Information surveys, Marco’s high-quality,
Ah!thentic pizza products pair seamlessly with the superior taste
of Pure Leaf. According to executives from both companies, the
partnership is an ideal marriage of Marco’s premium food product –
dough made in-store daily, fresh never-frozen cheese and imported
ingredients – with Pure Leaf’s beverage brewed from real tea leaves
and no artificial flavors.
“We’re excited to engage our customers in a ‘Magnifico Summer’
by offering a new refreshing, all-natural beverage,” said Marco’s
Pizza Chief Marketing Officer Steve Seyferth. “We sought out a
real, leaf-brewed beverage to complement our superior pizza
product. The pairing provides an elevated experience for our
customers.”
As the only national franchise chain founded by a native
Italian, Marco’s Pizza has carved out a niche in the industry as
the expert in authentic Italian pizza, known for its fresh
never-frozen dough made daily on site, a proprietary cheese blend
that is fresh never-frozen and a secret pizza sauce recipe. Opening
a new store on average every three days, Marco’s Pizza is on track
to add over 100 new locations this year and aims to have 1,500
locations open by 2020.
