Central Market selects WisePies Pizza Hatch Green Chile Pizza Line for 26th Annual Hatch Chile Festival
Albuquerque, N.M. – July 20, 2021 – WiseChoice Foods LLC, the manufacturer of the all-natural frozen pizza brand WisePies Pizza, announced today that beginning August 4, 2021, Texas-based Central Market grocery stores throughout Texas will be featuring two new WisePies Pizza items: Hatch Green Chile Four Cheese Pizza and Hatch Green Chile Uncured Pepperoni Classico Pizza. This is a new major market opportunity for WisePies Pizza to drive visibility and to garner new Hatch green chile pizza fans in large metro areas including Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Plano, and Dallas/Ft. Worth areas.
New Mexico Chile Association Executive Director Joram Robbs stated, “These types of promotional festivals, like the Hatch Green Chile festival at Central Market grocery stores, are vital to the longevity of the New Mexico chile industry. Sure, every New Mexican loves the flavor and spice that New Mexico chile offers, but we need to share that flavor with those outside of the state. This is how we share the culture of New Mexico with those that aren’t from here. Products like WisePies Hatch Green Chile Pizza are great to showcase the flavor and multiple uses New Mexico chile has to offer. Those that don’t have the knowledge or time to roast their own chile can still participate in the experience of eating New Mexico chile through innovative products like this.”
Robbs added, “Unique products like the WisePies Hatch Green Chile Pizza line also supports family farms in New Mexico that grow New Mexico Certified Chile. These family farms are vital to the State of New Mexico and events like this help promote the hard work behind producing New Mexico chile.”
In past years, the festival has featured many “hatchified” products throughout Central Market stores and overall roasts more peppers than anyone else outside of Hatch, New Mexico. It was named by the New Mexico Tourism Department as the most authentic Hatch festival outside of New Mexico.
