On October 28, Casey will launch its first-ever pan pizza, featuring a “fluffy, golden-brown square crust and edge-to-edge toppings,” the retailer said in a press release. The permanent menu addition will be available at Casey’s nearly 3,000 locations across 19 states, and customers can order any Casey’s pizza or toppings on the new pan crust.
Casey’s said that it developed the pan pizza due to the crust type being hard to find for many customers. One in four people in the U.S. surveyed by Casey’s said that getting pan pizza requires going out of their way or that it is unavailable nearby. That gap widens in areas where Casey’s operates: nearly 80% of the small towns it serves do not have a nearby national pan pizza offering, the retailer said.
“Casey’s has become a destination for pizza in the communities we serve, and our all-new pan pizza gives our guests another reason to choose us,” said Tom Brennan, chief merchandising officer at Casey’s. “We spent nearly two years developing a pan pizza with an amazingly thick, fluffy crust and crispy edges, and it absolutely delivers what guests love about Casey’s—craveable abundance at a great value. We cannot wait to share our new pan pizza with our guests as we are confident they will love it.”
The research from Casey’s also found that:
- Nearly half of pan pizza eaters surveyed call it their favorite.
- More than 70% say pan pizza brings back fond memories of childhood.
- More than half of those surveyed say crust is their favorite part of pizza.
- One in seven Gen Z respondents don't know or aren't sure what pan pizza is, making the crust type a discovery for the generation.
“Pan pizza rounds out a strong lineup of crusts, in addition to original and thin, that gives our guests something for every pizza occasion,” added Andrew Kintigh, executive chef and culinary director at Casey’s. “We crafted a crust with the ideal balance of structure and softness, built to hold Casey’s generous toppings while preserving the signature airy center of pan pizza.”
To celebrate the launch, Casey’s Rewards members who buy a pan pizza on launch day will receive a “Crust Credit” for a free large, single-topping pizza redeemable from Thursday, October 29, through Wednesday, November 18.
Casey’s is the nation’s fifth-largest pizza chain. Learn more about how c-stores are becoming destinations for pizza in “Pizza’s Next Chapter” from the October 2026 issue of NACS Magazine.
