Pretzel Round Bun
Schaumburg, IL
The Gonnella 3.25-inch Pretzel Sliced Bun brings authentic Bavarian flavor to modern deli merchandising. Crafted using a traditional artisan process, it features a deep brown, chewy crust, signature sheen and true German soft pretzel character — with flavor baked in, no added salt required. Sized for today’s appetite for smaller portions and snackable meals, this slider-style bun taps into strong consumer demand for premium specialty breads, while supporting mix-and-match builds and multi-daypart menus. Designed specifically for deli performance, it maintains quality for up to four hours in warmers and three days in coolers, making it ideal for hot hold, cold grab-and-go, breakfast sandwiches and premium slider programs.
