BOCA RATON, Fla. – Cannoli Kitchen Pizza®, the popular eatery that serves Italian favorites crafted with fresh ingredients and authentic recipes, unveiled an upgraded version of its Boca Raton restaurant at 9180 Glades Road in Boca Lyons Plaza. The restaurant opened under the leadership of four local friends, Sherise Robinson and her husband, David Thompson, along with Merlene Myers-Wilson and her husband Dane Wilson, who are excited to offer Boca Raton a fresh, redesigned take on the locally loved eatery.

Cannoli Kitchen Pizza is a growing brand known for its fresh Italian cuisine. The restaurant’s specialties include strombolis, calzones and zesty pasta dishes like Penne alla Vodka, Fettucine Alfredo and Spaghetti Bolognese. Guests can also enjoy classic pizzas or choose the Build-Your-Own option with a mouthwatering array of delicious toppings. Hot and cold subs are available, ranging from warm Parmigiana subs to cold subs complete with delicious deli meats, freshly cut mozzarella and more. Its specially priced Family Bundles offer a variety of Italian favorites that make it easy to satisfy a crowd.

All selections are prepared on the premises with top-quality ingredients, including the freshest vegetables and the finest meats and cheeses. Sauces are made from vine-ripened tomatoes infused with fresh herbs and spices to create memorable and authentic flavors.

“We’re thrilled to have our own Cannoli Kitchen Pizza, a Florida-based company that is already well known and loved in the Boca-area,” said Robinson. “We’re proud to serve an excellent menu of authentic dishes that use quality ingredients for a one-of-a-kind flavor profile.”

Both couples have years of experience working directly with customers, providing a range of hospitality and service excellence across various backgrounds, including healthcare, education, sales, marketing and the food industry. “It’s special that we get to be a part of the Cannoli Kitchen Pizza family, which aligns so well with our core values,” said Dane Wilson. “It’s both exciting and humbling to see the overwhelming support from the community we’ve received for our restaurant’s launch,” Merlene Wilson added.

The owners of the eatery shared their favorite selections from the menu:

·         Sherise Robinson – Spinach & Artichoke Pizza, a delicious savory pie with roasted baby artichokes and garlic, sautéed spinach and parmesan cheese.

·         Merlene Wilson – Caprese Salad, crafted with fresh mozzarella and beefsteak tomato slices, layered with basil and drizzled with balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil.

·         David Thompson – Penne alla Vodka, a beloved pasta in a homemade Vodka tomato and cream sauce served with two garlic knots. They also offer the option to add grilled chicken.

·         Dane Wilson – Hawaiian Pizza, a classically polarizing, sweet-and-savory pie topped with pineapple and ham.

The revamped pizzeria features a new state-of-the-art Dragon oven to bring traditional Italian style while meeting the needs of today’s customers who want delicious pizza fast. The oven uses a high-productivity refractory stone static conveyor, along with special technology and sensors to guarantee the perfect cooking temperature.

The Boca Raton Cannoli Kitchen Pizza opens following the pizzeria’s transformation into a key component of Big Flavor Brands™, the food division of West Palm Beach-based United Franchise Group that is comprised of innovative culinary concepts with an unwavering commitment to quality, variety and the pursuit of joyful eating.
