Chocolate Pizza Company opening at Jungle Jim's Eastgate | Restaurants

EASTGATE, OH (FOX19) - A pizza company originally based out of New York is set to open a new location at the Jungle Jim's in Eastgate.

The newest Chocolate Pizza Company is in the entry atrium of Jungle Jim’s Eastgate location in Cincinnati and opens Friday, March 1st. Owner Ryan Novak says, “I have family roots in Ohio. My grandparents were born there, my Dad lived there and graduated from Miami of Ohio. In building a national brand, Ohio was an ideal place for Chocolate Pizza Company to expand which made the invitation from Jungle Jim’s Market an easy one to accept. Being a destination market, Jungle Jim’s draws an incredible number of shoppers who appreciate unique foods in a festive atmosphere and that combination fits Chocolate Pizza well.”

Chocolate Pizza Company has been established in the Central New York community for more than 25 years and is known for unique, delicious and impressive chocolate specialties. Since 2010, new owner, Ryan Novak, has grown the company from its original location in Marcellus, NY to now 4 stores in 3 states and from one wholesale account to more than 700 locations nationwide.

The Chocolate Pizza Company gets its name from its signature product, Chocolate Pizza. Made from premium chocolate blended with homemade English toffee and poured into round shapes, Chocolate Pizza is topped with nuts or candies and a white chocolate drizzle and served in a genuine pizza box.
