American Pecan Promotion Board and Tony Boloney's Partner to Unveil Sweet and Savory Pecan Pizza Pie

Thanksgiving just got a little tastier with this unexpected holiday mash-up that reimagines the iconic pecan pie 

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- This Thanksgiving pizza is taking a ride through the pie… literally… with an unbelievable Pecan Pizza Pie that is sure to be the star of your pre-holiday feast. With so much time devoted to Thanksgiving meal prep, many Americans opt for a no-fuss meal the day before and even as an alternative for the traditional turkey, making pizza a new go-to. The American Pecan Promotion Board and Tony Boloney's have teamed up to create an unforgettable pie that combines the best of a traditional pizza with the iconic holiday pecan pie.

"We know that the Pecan Pie is a staple for so many at the Thanksgiving table, but with the tremendous versatility of pecans we wanted to reimagine the traditional pie with a pizza-fied twist for a turn-key meal before the turkey," said Alexander Ott, APPB Executive Director.

The limited-edition, Pecan Pizza Pie is available for consumers exclusively on Goldbelly.com starting November 14 with daily restocks before the Thanksgiving holiday. This truly nutty pie features a sweet meets savory buttermilk pizza crust, a thick bourbon-infused tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, fennel-dusted pepperoni-flavored pecan halves, topped with a spicy balsamic Pecan Pie glaze.  Additionally, each Pecan Pizza Pie comes with a standard pecan pie – for a drool-worthy two-pie celebration in one convenient delivery. The only thing that's missing is an all-day football marathon!

"We are known for our out-of-the-box creations, and we're thrilled to be bringing this ready-to-bake pizza meets pie mashup to the masses just in time for Thanksgiving," said Mike Hauke, Founder and Owner of Tony Boloney's Brands. "This plant-based pie is a delicious marriage of our savory classic pizza and the iconic pecan pie, heaping with holiday flavor."
