The pizzas are already available for customers and a launch party to introduce customers new the new item takes place starting at 8 a.m., Saturday.

“Stop in from 8 to noon for free cooked samples of our Take ‘n Bake Pizzas,” she said. “We will also have plenty of frozen pizzas on hand for customers to purchase during the party.”

In addition, customers may enter one of The Dough Hook’s many drawings for free pizzas. Customers may enter now for those drawings held on Jan. 28.
