Leading Fast-Casual Noodle Restaurant Unveils Irresistible New Dishes, Enhanced Classics, and a Fresh Brand Identity

(BPT) - Today's consumers are continuously seeking out elevated dining experiences, leading many fast-casual restaurants to look for new and innovative ways to bring guests through their doors. For Noodles & Company, this means the biggest menu transformation in its 30-year history, reimagining two-thirds of its menu to ensure every dish is designed to ignite guests' taste buds with bolder flavors, more craveable sauces, and thoughtfully chosen ingredients.

No Noodle Left Unturned

After 18 months of passion, perseverance, and relentless testing and innovation, Noodles & Company's refreshed menu delivers a more satisfying, tastefully curated experience while offering variety for every palate. From perfectly matched noodle shapes that maximize sauce coverage to layered flavors featuring premium ingredients like roasted cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and pickled red onions, every dish is thoughtfully crafted. Whether guests crave comfort, spice, or global variety, the new menu ensures a flavorful option for everyone.

New items on the menu include:

• Buffalo Chicken Ranch Mac & Cheese: Elbow noodles in creamy cheddar and jack cheese sauce with parmesan-crusted chicken, topped with Buffalo sauce, green onions, crispy onions and a drizzle of ranch.
• Garlic Bacon Crunch Mac & Cheese: Elbow noodles in a creamy garlic cheddar sauce with bacon and white cheddar, topped with crispy onions, parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
• Pulled Pork BBQ Mac & Cheese: Elbow noodles in creamy cheddar and jack cheese sauce with smoky pulled pork, topped with tangy BBQ sauce, green onions and crispy onions.
• Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine: Fettuccine noodles in Cajun-spiced alfredo sauce with shrimp, bacon and roasted red peppers, topped with parmesan and green onions.
• Green Goddess Cobb Salad: Mixed greens, grilled chicken, bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, feta, grape tomatoes, Persian cucumber, pickled red onions, garlic croutons and green goddess ranch dressing.
• Lemon Parmesan Broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets topped with salted butter, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, parsley, and lemon.

Fan Favorites, Reimagined

The refreshed menu also brings an exciting new take on current guest favorites — now richer, saucier, and with more vegetables and elevated finishes than ever:

• Creamy Cheddar Mac & Cheese: Noodles & Company's most beloved dish — formerly known as Wisconsin Mac & Cheese — is now even better. Cheesier and creamier than ever, this fan-favorite features elbow noodles smothered in a creamy cheddar and jack cheese sauce, then topped with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
• Rigatoni Rosa: Formerly known as Penne Rosa, this elevated dish now has more of the spicy tomato cream sauce guests love, slow-roasted tomatoes, 18-month aged Parmesan, and hearty rigatoni noodles that soak up every velvety bite of its delicious sauce.
• Basil Pesto Cavatappi: A fan-favorite made even better, now with more of its signature basil pesto sauce, fire-roasted tomatoes, and aged Parmesan for a deeper, more indulgent flavor in every forkful.
• Chicken Caesar Salad: A fresh take on a timeless classic, featuring crisp romaine, grilled chicken, new buttery herb croutons, and creamy Caesar dressing, all finished with an irresistible combination of grated and shaved Parmesan for added depth and texture.

Staying true to its commitment to freshness, Noodles & Company continues to hand-chop vegetables and prepare noodles in-house daily — never relying on freezers. To enhance both the flavor of each dish and the appeal when it's served, each dish is finished with premium touches and every bowl is made exactly to order.

Noodles & Company even encourages guests to step outside their comfort zones and try something new, backed by its Goodness Guarantee. This commitment guarantees satisfaction by offering guests free exchanges for any entrée that guests don't love.

For more exclusive offers, guests can also join Noodles Rewards for free through the Noodles & Company mobile app or website. Members earn points on every order, which are redeemable for craveable favorites. And now through the end of March, everyone can score double points on the new menu!
