Coffee And A Slice? 7-Eleven Launches Breakfast Pizza

DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - 7-Eleven is now offering a breakfast pizza.

The convenience store chain says that it combines the convenience of eating leftover pizza for the first meal of the day with traditional breakfast foods.

The chain announced the creation Tuesday. It has a biscuit crust topped with bacon, sausage, ham, scrambled eggs, cheese and cream gravy. 7-Eleven vice president Nancy Smith bills it as "a hearty option for customers craving a warm breakfast."

The Irving, Texas-based company says hot pizza has become one of its biggest ready-to-eat sellers, and mornings are the busiest time of day in its stores.

During test runs, 7-Eleven says the breakfast pizza became its second-most popular pizza with customers.

The hot breakfast pizza is part of 7-Eleven stores' two-for-$2 pizza slice offer. Whole breakfast pizzas are $5.55.
