Austin, Texas, October 1, 2007 ? Mangia Pizza, with six restaurants in the Austin area featuring one-of-a-kind Chicago stuffed pizza, is proud to proclaim the success of its e-commerce site with overnight pizza shipping, www.mangiapizza.com. Now everyone from coast-to-coast can indulge themselves with Mangia?s delicious, award winning stuffed pies as Austinites have been doing for nearly 20 years - it?s Austin meets Chicago and the combination is out of this world.
The idea of making Mangia pizza available to the whole nation through overnight shipping has been in Mangia ownership?s heads for years. ?We?ve had customers complimenting us on how great our stuffed pies are for years,? Mangia co-owner Jeff Sayers relates. ?Many of these customers were U.T. students and as their graduation approached, they would tell me that they hoped we would open a restaurant in the town where they would soon be living. Well, as the saying goes, if the customer can?t come to Mangia, let Mangia come to the customer, and now we are.? Since Mangia began its e-commerce pizza program in November of 2006, ?huge success? are the words to describe the public?s response.
Eight stuffed pies are available for everyone in the lower 48 states to enjoy via overnight pizza shipment:
¨ Pepperoni;
¨ Carnivore (beef, sausage and pepperoni); and
¨ Chicago Special (green peppers, mushrooms, onions and sausage);
¨ Cheese;
¨ Heart Shaped Spinach;
¨ Heart Shaped Pepperoni
¨ Heart Shaped Vegetarian (green peppers, onions, black olives and mushrooms)
¨ The Football Shaped National Championship Pizza
Mangia?s wildly successful Heart Shaped Pizzas are perfect gifts for Valentine?s Day or any other holiday or special gift occasion. Holiday food never tasted so good as a delicious Mangia Pizza.
All of Mangia?s e-commerce pizzas are Chicago stuffed pizzas, 12 inches in size with each serving two to three people. Prices for these fantastic, 12? deep dish, Chicago stuffed pizzas range from $18 for the Cheese pizza to $25 for the football shaped National Championship pizza.
Shipping is done via a special pricing arrangement with Federal Express®. Ordering is as easy as going to www.mangiapizza.com, clicking on ?Order a Pizza? and then clicking on the pie of choice. A few clicks later and the order is in Mangia?s hands. To ensure freshness, the pizzas are prepared and half-baked the next day, flash-frozen, kept in the freezer overnight and shipped the following morning. All the customer has to do is simply add the Mangia sauce that is included with the shipment and finish cooking the pizza for 15 to 20 minutes
According to co-owner John Kinnaird, nationwide pizza delivery means plenty of fun times for all. ?Whether it?s a big football game, birthday, anniversary, holiday gift or any other type of special occasion, a couple of Mangia pies will add to the festivities, especially for transplanted Austinites wanting to have some Austin fun again.?
Since the first store opened just off the U.T. campus in 1988, Mangia has been steadily growing; both in the number of stores as well as in menu selections. Although best known for Chicago stuffed pizza, Mangia restaurants have something for palates of all kind. From hamburgers (including gardenburgers), classic lasagna, tortilla soup, homemade fries (we?ll match ours up to anyone?s), cheesesteaks, hot subs, deli sandwiches and great salads, to the sweet-tooth satisfying ?Ooey Gooey Brownie,? there?s something on the Mangia menu for everyone.
And to prove Mangia?s not just blowing its own horn, Pizza Today Magazine named Mangia the ?National Independent Pizza Company of the Year for 2005.? In addition, Mangia has been named ?Best Pizza in Austin? by most local polls over the years including a repeat in this year?s Austin Chronicle ?Readers Poll.? Accolades mean nothing if customers aren?t satisfied and that?s why Mangia is constantly striving to be the best today and better tomorrow.
Mangia ? (Pronounced ?Mon-juh?) means ?Eat? in Italian. Recognized as the ?National Independent Pizza Company of the Year? by Pizza Today magazine, Mangia was established in Austin in 1988. Mangia currently has six restaurant locations with four in Austin, one in Round Rock and one at Austin Bergstrom International Airport. Mangia has been named ?Best Pizza in Austin? by most local polls over the years including a repeat in this year?s Austin Chronicle ?Readers Poll.?
