Hunt Brothers Pizza launches first dual limited-time offer
Chicken Bacon Ranch and Italian Trio return simultaneously for the brand’s 35th anniversary, with different regional availability across participating convenience-store locations.
Online Franchise Chronicle · 10/12/2026
Hunt Brothers Pizza has launched Chicken Bacon Ranch and Italian Trio simultaneously for the first time, marking its 35th anniversary with a dual limited-time promotion. The returning pizzas became available on 12 October 2026 at participating US locations, with separate regional availability for each recipe.
For convenience-store partners, the launch brings together previously offered products in a promotion that the company’s master distributors linked to operational support and consistency. Both recipes are being sold as whole 12-inch pizzas and as Hunk A Pizza portions, each comprising 1/4 of a 12-inch pizza.
Chicken Bacon Ranch returns across selected markets
The Chicken Bacon Ranch recipe uses the brand’s original crust with ranch sauce and all-natural chicken breast. Its toppings include a blend of 100% natural part-skim mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, bacon and Hunt Brothers Pizza’s Just Rite Spice seasoning.
Participating locations offering that pizza are in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., North Dakota and South Dakota. The company specified availability at participating stores rather than across every location in those markets.
Italian Trio has a different regional footprint
Italian Trio also uses the original crust, but pairs it with marinara sauce and a blend of 100% natural part-skim mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses. Pepperoni, Italian sausage and sliced Italian-style meatballs make up its meat toppings, with Just Rite Spice completing the recipe.
That pizza is available at participating locations in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas. Although the launch dates coincide, the company’s regional lists differ, with some states included in both promotions.
Master distributors emphasise store support
Erin Hunt Ferguson, CEO of Hunt Advantage Group, LLC, a Hunt Brothers Pizza master distributor, said the anniversary promotion was intended to support store partners and give customers more reasons to select the brand. She described the returning recipes as established favourites and linked their joint launch to the interest generated by previous limited-time offers.
Robinson Hunt, president of master distributor DBH Distributing, connected the simultaneous launch to the support available to operators. “Offering two LTOs at once reflects the strength of the program and the operational support behind it,” he said.
Hunt also said the promotion represented an evolution of the programme while retaining the simplicity and consistency store partners expect. Both pizzas will remain available for a limited period while supplies last.
