'Secretary of Taste' Appointed to Endorse Domino's American Legends(TM) Specialty Line

Taste Stimulus Package Offers Cheesy Crusts and Premium Toppings to the Country

Ann Arbor, Mich., // PRNewswire // -- The following press release is being reissued due to updated information. Please disregard the previous version sent earlier today.

Domino's Pizza, the world leader in pizza delivery (NYSE: DPZ), is introducing the Secretary of Taste, a fictional character that will first appear today in national advertising touting Domino's American Legends(TM), its new line of specialty pizzas. In a time when Americans are forced to cut back on almost everything, the Secretary of Taste is proud to endorse Domino's American Legends as the centerpiece of his taste stimulus package, offering 40 percent more cheese than a Domino's regular hand-tossed pizza, cheesy crusts and delicious combinations of premium toppings.

"These pizzas are packed with so much bold taste in every bite, I had to endorse them as a part of my taste stimulus package," says the Secretary of Taste. "These specialty pizzas are as American as apple pie, and they will comfort young and old through these tough times. I've even lobbied for 40 percent more cheese and the approval of America's Dairy Farmers."

Domino's multifaceted campaign from creative agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky will include a series of television spots featuring the Secretary of Taste addressing the nation from his office. The spots began airing nationally today on various networks and cable stations and will run through April 12. To help celebrate the new line, Domino's iconic pizza boxes have been redesigned with the American Legends theme and will feature "tastisms," words of tasty wisdom, as quoted from the Secretary of Taste.

"Adding a new line of pizzas to our menu is a monumental occasion so we needed to introduce them in unique fashion," said Domino's representative Jenny Fouracre. "Since government is top of mind right now, we thought that this character would be a fun way to show off these specialty pizzas to America."

Inspired by the unique tastes to be found throughout the country, Domino's American Legends pizzas are available in six varieties at $12.99 for a large or $10.99 for a medium:

  • Honolulu Hawaiian -- Sliced ham, smoked bacon, juicy pineapple, and roasted red peppers with provolone and mozzarella cheeses on a cheesy parmesan crust. Customers can make this pizza "fiery" by adding Tabasco(R) brand Pepper Sauce and jalapenos.
  • Cali Chicken Bacon Ranch(TM) -- Chicken breast, white sauce, smoked bacon, tomatoes and parsley with provolone cheese and mozzarella cheeses on a cheesy provolone crust.
