Pizza Inn adds pumpkin spice pizza

Pizza Inn is latching on to the pumpkin spice trend with its latest dessert pizza.

The Pumpkin Pizzert features pumpkin and cinnamon topped with a brown sugar streusel mix and white icing drizzle. The limited-time pizza will be available until Dec. 24.

“We’re always looking for new seasonal recipes to add to our buffet in order to keep things fresh and exciting for our guests,” said Denise Pedini, executive vice president of marketing, in a statement. “You can’t celebrate fall without indulging in some pumpkin spice, which is why we created the Pumpkin Pizzert. This delicious combination of fall flavors is the perfect way to end your meal on a sweet note.”

Pizza Inn is not the only chain to offer a pumpkin spice pizza. New Jersey-based chain Villa Italian Kitchen recently released its own version of the pumpkin spice pie.
