Blaze Pizza launches 'Italian Escape' menu with Volpi Foods
The chain is aiming to deliver a $25 experience for half the price or less.
Blaze Pizza is bringing premium ingredients to fast-casual to aim to stand out in today’s dining landscape, it says. For a limited time, the brand is introducing its new Italian Escape menu in partnership with Volpi Foods, an American producer of artisanal charcuterie.
Available at Blaze Pizza locations across North America from May 6 through June 23, the Italian Escape menu delivers what feels like a $25 pizza experience for around $12 or less, combining high-quality ingredients with Blaze’s signature fast-fire’d format, the chain adds.
Inspired by the flavors and traditions of Italy, the Italian Escape menu reportedly brings together thoughtfully crafted ingredients that evoke the experience of leisurely meals and shared moments around the table. Featuring prosciutto, balanced sweet and savory pairings, and a classic dessert finish, the lineup aims to channel the spirit of Italian cuisine through bold flavors and a modern, accessible format.
The Italian Escape menu features four limited-time offerings, including the Prosciutto Pizza with fresh mozzarella, arugula, balsamic caramelized onions and fig glaze, as well as a Prosciutto Pizzetta, a smaller-format option that brings premium prosciutto and scratch-made dough together for around $7.
At the center of the menu is Volpi’s hand-crafted prosciutto, reportedly known for its delicate texture and traditional slow-curing process. By pairing Volpi’s heritage approach with Blaze’s fast-fired platform, the collaboration introduces a new way for guests to enjoy premium ingredients in a fast-casual setting.
In addition to the featured items, guests can customize their experience with prosciutto available as an add-on across the menu. Prosciutto can be added for $1 on 11” Build Your Own pizzas and salads, and $2 on 14” Build Your Own pizzas, making it easy to elevate any order.
“At Blaze, we’ve always believed that high-quality, craveable food should be accessible,” says Casey Terrell, CMO at Blaze Pizza. “With Italian Escape, we’re taking that to the next level, bringing artisanal prosciutto into our fast-casual format in a way that delivers incredible flavor and value for our guests.”
“At Volpi Foods, we’ve spent four generations focused on craftsmanship and quality, but we’re always thinking about how to bring that to more people in ways that feel relevant today,” says Deanna Depke, director of sales and marketing at Volpi Foods. “Blaze Pizza is a natural partner, allowing us to introduce our prosciutto in a format that is approachable, convenient and incredibly craveable.”
In addition to the Prosciutto Pizza and Pizzetta, the Italian Escape menu includes a Strawberry Prosciutto Salad and a Classic Tiramisu cup, creating a complete limited-time lineup designed to deliver both indulgence and value, the brand finishes.
The Italian Escape menu will be available for a limited time at participating Blaze Pizza locations nationwide and through the Blaze Pizza app.
