Pizza and Thanksgiving are two things most people love, but what if you could have both at the same time? DiGiorno is bringing back its fan-favorite Thanksgiving Pizza, and it’s packed with all the traditional flavors of a holiday feast.
This year, the special pie will be available at Kroger stores and other chains under its umbrella, like Harris Teeter and Ralph’s, just in time for the 2024 holiday season.
This unconventional but exciting twist on Thanksgiving was first introduced by DiGiorno in the fall of 2023. The pizza quickly grabbed attention for blending classic Turkey Day staples on top of their signature Detroit-style crust. Now, it’s making a return with a few small updates.
What’s On DiGiorno’s Thanksgiving Pizza?
The Thanksgiving Pizza is a feast on a square-shaped Detroit-style pizza crust. It’s topped with a delicious blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, roasted turkey, green beans, and crispy onions. These toppings are further complemented by a rich turkey gravy and the sweetness of cranberries.
Although it remains largely the same, there’s one notable difference this year. The inaugural version of the pizza also featured diced sweet potatoes, which have been left off the 2024 version. However, the remaining toppings still offer a well-rounded flavor profile that combines savory, sweet, and crispy elements.
With this pizza, you’re getting the heart of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner — turkey, green beans, gravy, and more — all in one bite, without the need to juggle multiple dishes.
Where and When Can You Find It?
DiGiorno’s Thanksgiving Pizza is expected to roll out at Kroger-owned grocery stores starting in October 2024. That includes Harris Teeter and Ralph’s stores as well. Priced at an affordable $10, this limited-time pie will be available nationwide through the end of November, according to a DiGiorno spokesperson.
So, if you’re looking for something a little different this holiday season, this could be your chance to switch things up at the dinner table.
A Growing Trend in Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Dishes
This pizza isn’t just a quirky one-off; it’s part of a growing trend where companies are experimenting with non-traditional ways to enjoy Thanksgiving flavors. Over the years, consumers have shown interest in new and interesting takes on the classic Thanksgiving meal, and products like DiGiorno’s Thanksgiving Pizza reflect that shift.
The idea is simple: Not everyone wants to prepare an elaborate multi-dish meal, but many still want to enjoy the essence of Thanksgiving. Products like this offer an easy and convenient alternative that still provides the flavors of turkey, stuffing, and all the sides you crave.
