TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 27, 2014) - Preparations for Super Bowl Sunday are peaking at Pizza Pizza, Canada's leading purveyor of pizza and wings. The chain's locations - close to 400 across the country - are finishing preparations for what has become the second busiest day of the year in terms of sales. On February 2, pizza and wings, perennial party favourites, will continue to dominate the food sales charts, topping hosting tables coast to coast.
Last year, the chain processed over 100 orders per minute during Super Bowl Sunday at peak times, selling more than 60,000 pizzas and 145,000 wings. To keep up with the demand, Pizza Pizza is doubling its order takers (from 6 to 6:15 p.m. alone they'll process over 1,500 orders) for the busy day - among other special arrangements.
Members of the media are invited to consider Pizza Pizza as a resource for trends in food, facts and visuals or to simply discuss the impact of the event on Pizza Pizza or the quick-serve restaurant industry in Canada.
