Pizza Nova grows Raised Without Antibiotics roster with Chicken Wings

TORONTO, Oct. 26, 2016 /CNW/ - Pizza Nova is the first Canadian pizza company to introduce Chicken Wings sourced from chicken raised without antibiotics (RWA). The company offers two varieties of bone-in chicken wings: Traditional, and Roasted Italian featuring a unique rub of herbs and spices.

In May 2015, Pizza Nova introduced RWA pepperoni, and made a commitment to doing the same with other proteins. A year and a half later, 100% of the bacon, grilled chicken, and chicken wings the company serves is RWA –and smoked ham will follow suit by the end of 2016.

"We have had very positive feedback on our RWA products," said Pizza Nova President Domenic Primucci. "It is clear that our customers share our belief in moving toward more responsible sourced proteins."

Product quality is at the forefront of Pizza Nova's business, and they stand behind the fact that using high quality ingredients will enable customers to 'Taste The Difference.' "Quality is in our DNA, and in an industry where standards are always increasing, we continually look for ways to improve. Introducing RWA proteins is one of the ways we're doing that," said Primucci.
