Newk's Introduces Cauliflower Pizza Crust And Under 600 Calorie Menu

JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Newk's Eatery, named "America's Top Fast-Casual Chain" by Restaurant Business Magazine, announced today a new focus on Wholesome is the New Healthy to fuel guests with satisfying options. Newk's will introduce an all-new Cauliflower Pizza Crust, an Under 600 Calorie menu of healthier options for the New Year and will extend the guest-favorite Taco Salad limited time offer.  

Eating healthy has never tasted so good with the introduction of Cauliflower Pizza Crust, which is a plant-based, flavorful option for guests who are looking for a more nutritious take on traditional pizza. Cauliflower Pizza Crust can be used with any Newk's Pizza for a small upcharge and is available at all Newk's locations.

"Our guests have come to know and love our delicious Newcomb Family Recipes and we're delighted to provide a plant-forward option to fuel any lifestyle and make keeping New Year resolutions easy," said Newk's CEO and co-founder Chris Newcomb. "We truly believe wholesome is the new healthy in 2020 and we're striving to continue exceeding the expectations of our guests with this new offering."

The ultra-satisfying options on the Under 600 Calorie menu feature Newk's made from scratch recipes including the Black and Bleu Salad, French Bistro Steak & Mushroom Soup, Ahi Tuna Salad and Chicken Tortilla Soup. Guests can enjoy healthful pairings with a half-sandwich and choice of cup of soup or half-salad as an entrée, or a bowl of soup with a half-salad side.

Another way Newk's is helping guests achieve their New Year resolutions is by creating a list of menu items that fit into paleo-, vegetarian- and keto-friendly diets. Full listings are available at newks.com/wholesome.
