Just in time for those New Year's resolutions, Fazoli’s is introducing four new, limited-time Mini Bakes, all with 400 calories or less.
“Fazoli’s focus is on helping families return to real food,” said Cathy Hull, Fazoli’s chief marketing officer. “Just because it’s January and you are cutting calories or trying to save money doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste.”
The Mini Bakes are all priced at $3.99. The line-up includes:
- Three Cheese Baked Ravioli – Cheese-filled ravioli covered in creamy Marinara sauce, topped with Provolone and Mozzarella Cheeses.
- Hearty Tortellini and Bacon – Cheese-filled tortellini in spicy Marinara sauce, topped with bacon, beef crumbles and Provolone and Mozzarella cheeses.
- Mushroom Chicken Alfredo – Bowtie pasta in Alfredo sauce, topped with grilled chicken, mushrooms, broccoli and Provolone and Mozzarella cheeses.
- Penne Tuscano– Whole wheat penne in creamy Marinara sauce, topped with grilled chicken, peppers and onions, black olives and Provolone, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
In addition to the low-calorie menu addition, the company is rolling out its new contemporary look and expanded service model at five restaurants in Paducah, Ky., Cape Giradeau, Mo., and southern Illinois.
“It’s exciting to be part of a company that is investing in local communities,” said Carl Howard, president and CEO. “Many of the larger chains are failing to invest in smaller towns,” he added. “Fazoli’s believes families in cities of all sizes deserve real food they can afford in a fun, friendly environment.”
Additionally, the Italian chain has opened new locations within the past year in Poplar Bluff, Mo., and Edwardsville, Ill., and recently remodeled restaurants in central Illinois. Several more Kentucky restaurants are slated to be remodeled this year, with expanded service added.
