COLUMBUS, Ohio — Donatos Pizza is expanding its white-sauce pizza lineup with three Alfredo-based offerings. The pizzas will be available from June 1 through June 28. The launch includes the debut of the Triple Meat Alfredo pizza and the extended return of the Mike’s Hot Honey Meaty Alfredo.
The limited-time rollout also highlights the continued availability of the Chicken Vegy Alfredo. The pizza was previously moved from a seasonal item to a permanent menu option after strong customer demand.
The company said the launch is part of a broader effort to expand flavor variety. It also showcases several protein options, including grilled chicken, meatballs, sausage, pepperoni, and bacon.
Customers can view the new pizzas on Donatos’ pizza menu and specialty offerings pages. The lineup includes:
- Triple Meat Alfredo Pizza
- Chicken Vegy Alfredo
- Mike’s Hot Honey Meaty Alfredo
According to Jodie Conrad, the release reflects growing consumer interest in richer flavor combinations and non-traditional pizza sauces.
“The launch of this trio of white sauce pizzas shows how much our guests enjoy bold new takes on our classics,” Conrad said in a statement distributed through PR Newswire.
She added that the Triple Meat Alfredo also allowed the company to spotlight its meatballs again. Conrad described them as an “underrated ingredient” in Donatos’ kitchens.
The Triple Meat Alfredo features Alfredo sauce topped with meatballs, sausage, bacon, and basil.
Why it matters
White-sauce pizzas and sweet-spicy flavor combinations continue gaining traction across the quick-service and fast-casual restaurant sectors. Chains are looking for ways to diversify beyond traditional red-sauce offerings.
The return of Mike’s Hot Honey Meaty Alfredo also reflects the staying power of hot honey as a mainstream menu ingredient. Over the past several years, brands across pizza, chicken, snacks, and condiments have leaned into sweet-heat flavor profiles. Many companies use these flavors to support limited-time promotions and social media engagement.
At the same time, Donatos’ decision to keep Chicken Vegy Alfredo as a permanent menu item highlights how chains are relying on customer feedback and sales performance. Brands are increasingly using this data to guide long-term menu development instead of depending only on seasonal testing.
The strategy also reflects a larger CPG and restaurant industry trend. Brands continue balancing nostalgic comfort foods with bolder flavor experimentation. The goal is to maintain consumer interest and encourage repeat traffic.
