Regional taste toppings
Focusing on Kotipizza, Heidi outlines the company’ s approach to menu choices and how it develops exciting new dishes:“ The core menu is consistent across all Kotipizza restaurants, ensuring that the experience is the same for our loyal customers. However, we have some locations that offer a slightly more compact menu selection – such as locations on the highways( gas stations).
“ In addition, we have some seasonal, locally inspired pizzas that reflect regional tastes. In Southern Finland we had a sushi pizza, and in the Northern parts we have pizza topped with pastrami. We also regularly introduce nationwide seasonal and limitedtime offerings to keep the menu exciting. For example, our summer favorite was Kanagyros( pizza with a taste of traditional Greek gyros, topped with delicious tzatziki!) while in the winter we offered Poronkäristys – a nod to traditional Finnish flavors with reindeer and lingonberry jam.
