More Than a Motto: Donatos Pizza’s “Gotta love more™” Tagline Inspires Abundance | Donatos Pizza

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Donatos Pizza, the premium pizza franchise famous for its abundant Edge to Edge® toppings, is unveiling a fresh and flavorful philosophy with its new tagline: “Gotta love more™.” With this bold declaration, the brand is doubling down on what sets it apart— its promise to deliver more of everything that matters most: more smiles, more laughs, more love, more time together, more toppings, more flavor, and more fun.

Bringing this philosophy to life, Donatos Pizza is introducing the $5 Pizza Pals Menu, a new way for customers to enjoy even more. This exciting new offering allows customers to add a “Pizza Pal”—featuring options like subs, calzatos, and more—for just $5 with the purchase of any large pizza, giving families and friends even more reasons to love and share their favorite meals together.

“‘Gotta love more’ isn’t just a tagline; it’s a celebration of everything we stand for,” said Jodie Conrad, Chief Marketing Officer at Donatos Pizza. “From our signature Edge to Edge® toppings to the laughter shared over every meal, and now the added value of our $5 Pizza Pals Menu, we’re giving our customers more reasons to love Donatos.”

MORE Edge to Edge® Excellence

Donatos Pizza has built its reputation on generosity, with every pizza crafted in its kitchens reflecting the signature Edge to Edge® style. Pizzas are loaded with premium toppings that stretch from crust to crust, ensuring that each and every bite is jam-packed with bold flavors and fresh ingredients.

Donatos Pizza tops every large thin or thick crust pepperoni pizza with 100 pieces of family-recipe, crispy pepperoni. Every bite is flavorful, showcasing the brand’s commitment to abundance and making it an unmistakably Donatos pizza.

“Each pizza we make is packed with more of what customers crave,” added Conrad. “When you choose Donatos, you’re choosing a meal that’s as abundant in flavor as it is in heart.”
