Q the Pizza at Newk’s Express Café

Newk’s Express Café will introduce the Newk’s “Q” pizza Oct. 17. The pizza will be available in all restaurants for eight weeks. The Newk’s “Q” pizza is topped with Newk’s signature white barbecue sauce, chicken, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, ripe roma tomatoes, bacon, and jalapeno.

“The Newk’s ‘Q’ Pizza is the perfect translation of our signature Newk’s ‘Q’ sandwich into a California style pizza,” says Chris Newcomb, co-founder, president, and CEO of Newk’s. “The Q sandwich has been a favorite among customers for years. For a limited time, customers craving our signature white barbecue sauce on the ‘Q’ sandwich will also be able to enjoy it on a pizza.”

Created by the founders of McAlister’s Deli (Don Newcomb, Chris Newcomb, and Debra Bryson), who pioneered the fast-casual restaurant concept, Newk’s Express Café provides an express casual dining experience and features a variety of made-to-order choices including fresh-tossed salads, oven-baked sandwiches, California-style pizzas, made-from-scratch soups, and homemade cakes baked by Newk’s Bakery Company. A selection of wines by the glass and beer is also available at select locations.
