Local favorite since 1969, Red Boy Pizza, Home of the Sourdough Crust, will debut Pesto Parmesan Sourdough Twists beginning March 20^th, the First Day of Spring

San Rafael, CA, March 12 2012 - Red Boy Pizza, home of the sourdough crust since 1969, announced its will introduce Pesto Parmesan Sourdough Twists at all eight Bay Area locations to kick off the first day of Spring, Tuesday, March 20^th, 2012.  The new Red Boy Pizza twists are made with their famous San Francisco sourdough twisted with freshly made pesto and parmesan cheese served with six twists hot out of the oven for $5.49.

“Our chef at our Novato location came up with the recipe using ingredients we already had in house,” said Joseph Radwan, president of Red Boy Pizza. “We are excited to kick off spring with the introduction of our “soon to be famous” pesto parmesan sourdough twists and invite the community to come try them on March 20th!”

The small home-town favorite has been using the finest quality San Francisco sourdough for more than forty years for their Red Boy Pizza dough. In fact, they have been making their famous sourdough crust since their first location opened in 1969. Using only the finest ingredients, the gourmet pizza dough is made fresh, hand tossed for each order and topped with a special blend of sauce, cheeses, local produce and high quality authentic Italian ingredients to make their remarkable and memorable pizza.

“We do not use any modern dough conditioners, chemicals, additives, nor preservatives of any kind,” says Radwan.  “Our sourdough used in our pizza is the same as our new Twists, amazing quality and sourdough flavor made the traditional way.  Sourdough actually is better for you and rates a 68 on the glycemic index as opposed to the rating of 100 by other breads.  Making sourdough one of the most nutritious ways to eat grains even for those with glucose intolerance,” he continued.

Besides their famous pizza and new Twists, Red Boy serves Italian specialty menu items including Spaghetti Red Boy, which is also a favorite of those guests under 10.   Three Little Red Boys, which are three slices of French bread baguette served with three different meats and cheese melted into amazing pizza bread, and Red Boy’s Italian Hot Sandwich both show off the Italian heritage the Red Boy brand has become synonymous with.

For more than 40 years, Red Boy Pizza has been a family-owned local Bay Area favorite and known as the “home of the sour dough crust.” The 43-year old company, has eight Bay Area locations with two in Oakland, and six in Marin and Sonoma, and is growing through franchise opportunities.
