Zebu Forno Expands Menu with Additions of Focaccia Pizza and French Toast
RED BANK, N.J., Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Zebu Forno, the European-style
bakery and cafe, has expanded its menu with the additions of Focaccia Pizza
and French Toast at all locations.
Available in three sizes and with an array of toppings, Zebu's Focaccia
Pizza features San Marzano tomato sauce and a bread crust that is infused with
rosemary and hand-selected extra virgin olive oils drawn from the first cold
press. The crust is thick, but light and airy. Excluding special toppings,
prices are $6.50 for a small, $10.95 medium, and $13.95 for a large.
Zebu's new French Toast is available in two varieties of bread: the Pana
di Casa (house white) or Seven Grain. Selling for $6.95, the French Toast is
served with a fresh fruit cup and maple syrup.
"Both new menu items were very favorably received by our guests during
testing at our Red Bank location," said Ryan Timmons, general manager of Zebu
Forno Franchise LLC. "They will now become a regular feature on our menus in
Red Bank, Holmdel and all future locations, including one scheduled to open
soon in Hoboken."
These new items join Zebu Forno's menu of fresh-baked breads, muffins,
bagels, and pastries; breakfast sandwiches; omelets; homemade soups; Panini
sandwiches, wraps and other hot and cold sandwiches served on home-baked
breads; handmade thin-crust pizzas in select locations; fresh salads; quiche;
gelato; fresh fruit cups; espresso drinks; a variety of coffees and teas; and
a soft drink selection that includes Boylan's soda on tap. All menu items are
available for takeout, augmented by a selection of fresh-baked goods, Zebu
travel mugs and other branded items merchandised throughout the stores.
Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night snacks, the chain's
locations are designed to convey a sense of a 'town gathering place' -- a
relaxed setting where people of all ages can meet and sit for hours without
feeling pressured. Features include free Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, satellite
music, brick walls, wood plank flooring, original murals celebrating great
artists of the past, and seating at conventional tables, stool-height tables
and in groupings of Indonesian roll back easy chairs.
Zebu's flagship company-owned location opened in 2001 on Broad Street in
downtown Red Bank, N.J. Earlier this year, the company launched its franchise
program with the opening of a 3,000-square-foot location in The Commons at
Holmdel, a major lifestyle center in northern Monmouth County. The chain's
third restaurant is scheduled to debut at Hoboken's Marineview Plaza in the
first quarter of 2008, as the company advances on its plan to have 15 to 20
franchised locations in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania markets over the
next five years.
