The Chocolate Pizza Company was founded by Bonnie Hanyak over 20 years ago. Bonnie originally planned on having a small floral and gift basket store but her success quickly grew. Now the company is owned by Ryan Novak after Bonnie retired.
In 1992, Bonnie created her unique Chocolate Pizzas, blending premium chocolate with the famous Cummings Candy recipe from 1919 for English Toffee and topping it all with pecans, almonds and walnuts. It was a taste masterpiece. A very tasty one.
She later added Peanut Butter Wings – locally produced potato chips, covered in peanut butter and dipped in chocolate – to her line so that she could offer “Chocolate Pizza and Peanut Butter Wings. Now Bonnie could offer “Chocolate Pizza’s and Peanut Butter Wings”.
Today, the Chocolate Pizza Company’s primary focus is on delivering our delicious chocolate products to you! I will be looking for new ways to get our chocolate pizza, wings, gelato and other fantastic products out to new customers and invite your ideas as well.
New owner Ryan Novak started working at The Chocolate Pizza Company when he was 15, washing dishes, mopping floors and stocking shelves. Over the years, he learned every facet of the business and steps into the role of President and Owner prepared to take the company to the next level of success.
As Ryan finishes his degree, Bonnie has agreed to stay on as a consultant so that the Chocolate Pizza Company can continue to have the benefits of her expertise.
Clever “special editions” include Political Chocolate Bonbons (ya know the elephant or donkeys), Grand Cru Chocolate Ganache Bonbons made from Felchlin origin couverture (from the photo they look darn good), Bichon Frisé Bonbons with a smiling dog illustrated on the top of each, a Summer Cocktail Collection which are ganaches flavored with Mimosa, Piña Colada, Strawberry Daiquiri and Margarita and Artisan Bonbons with abstract designs in pink and green.
