CiCi's Pizza Expands American Classics Line with Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

COPPELL, Texas, Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CiCi's Pizza, home of the endless pizza buffet, announces the newest addition to its American Classics line -- the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza. CiCi's American Classics line showcases the unique flavor traditions of the USA and includes the recently introduced Cheeseburger pizza as well as longtime favorites like the Mac and Cheese, Buffalo Chicken and the Kansas City BBQ pizzas.

The Philly Cheesesteak Pizza, modeled after the true American original, is made on traditional hand-stretched crust with Philly Cheese Sauce, grilled sliced beef and topped with red onion and green bell peppers. Guests can get it now, along with CiCi's full buffet of more than 20 pizzas in rotation, soup, pasta, salad and dessert.

"We are happy to bring a fan favorite, the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza, back to the buffet as the latest addition to the American Classics line," said Nancy Hampton, CiCi's Pizza Chief Marketing Officer. "The American Classics line allows us to feature the great variety of unique American flavors, and we encourage everyone to give them all a try."

CiCi's newest pizza is just one way guests can enjoy the fun at CiCi's this summer. Through Aug. 28, guests can win movie family fun packs, children's movie tickets and millions of other prizes in the CiCi's Pizza Family Funtacular. Guests get a free scratch-off card with every guest check and an additional one for every large beverage purchase. Two lucky families of four will win the grand prize, an all-expense paid trip to Universal Orlando Resort Vacation.

The American Classics, like all of CiCi's pizzas, are made by hand using fresh dough, sauce prepared in small batches, freshly grated cheese and crisp vegetables. Guests who don't see their favorite pizza on the buffet are encouraged to make a special request, and CiCi's will make it on the spot and bring it straight from the oven to the table.
