If you’re gonna do it, then do it right.

Dear Red Baron,
I have never written to a company before regarding its products. My husband and I host a pizza and movie night once a week at our house. We always buy Red Baron pizza — either the Classic or the Pizzeria Style. We buy two to three pizzas every week. I visited your web site and noticed you don’t produce a vegetarian pizza in either of these product lines. We would love to see you make at least one style of vegetarian pizza in both of these lines. We have three to four vegetarians who come every week, and I would love to be able to offer them an option besides only a cheese pizza. Surely there is a demand for this type of product, as more and more people every day choose an alternative diet.
I also wondered if your company ever considered making a pizza with a whole wheat crust. I think you would find that many people would accept this as a healthier version of your product, and I imagine it would help you gain an edge over any competitors due to the prevalence of low-carb diets. I would personally prefer purchasing pizzas with a whole wheat crust if I had the option.
I don’t know if these are options your company has considered in the past, but I would certainly appreciate a response and any information you might have.
Sincerely,
Kristen Rudd
That is very cool that you wrote a company to let them know how you feel. More of us should do these things!
I wrote to Campbell’s Soup Company to request a flavor once and they sent me a $2.00 coupon toward the purchase of more soup. Writing to the company can sometimes pay off.
Oh, and they didn’t pick up the flavor- Broccoli, rice, cheese and Chicken. Couldn’t fit the name on the label perhaps?…:)
We vegetarians thank you.
We not-vegetarians-but-sometimes-eat-veggies-just-because-we-know-we-should thank you as well. Hopefully they’ll respond positively. See you guys on Sunday.
