Cowboy Star Pizza
Inspired by the Coppell Cowboys, the Cowboy Star Pizza is a fun, student-friendly twist on a classic pepperoni pizza. The star-shaped design creates a visually exciting handheld pizza filled with gooey mozzarella and pepperoni in every bite. Finished with a garlic-butter flavor, parmesan, and parsley, this pizza delivers bold flavor while bringing school spirit and creativity to the cafeteria.
