NKD Pizza, Masgo to bring lower calorie pizza to Bahrain
MANAMA, February 1, 2016
NKD Pizza, a multi-national American pizza chain, has signed an exclusive franchise agreement with Masgo Ventures to bring healthier lower calorie pizza to Bahrain.
The NKD pizza recipe is based on a crust that is made from an 'ancestral blend' of 10 grains, prebiotic fibre from the agave plant, and special heat-resistant probiotics, also known as 'healthy' or 'good' bacteria, said a statement.
This will result in a diversity of nutrients and fibre along with the added probiotics that support digestive health.
NKD pizza will also provide customers with the optionality of ordering a gluten free pizza, it said.
Edward Rizk, vice president - International, said: “We are excited to see that Masgo shares our passion for the NKD concept and its products.
“This new franchise will definitely be a new channel for NKD to continue voicing its mission to change the nutritional profile of fast food through its all-natural #ShamelesslyGood pizza.”
Jenan Almaskati, managing partner of Masgo, said: “We are delighted to partner with NKD Pizza to bring this unique concept to the kingdom, and we are excited about helping our customers eat healthily while still enjoying great tasting pizza. We look forward to opening our first store in Bahrain in mid-2016.” - TradeArabia News Service
