However, from there, they plan to take full advantage of the space by expanding the menu and offering delivery while keeping prices low. Pronto Pup GR will share an official release date and menu very soon.

Pronto Pup vs Corn Dog

If you've never had a Pronto Pup, you're probably confused about what it is. In very simple terms, a Pronto Pup is just a corn dog. However, while corn dogs are known for their soft and fluffier breading, Pronto Pups have a "thinner, crispier texture with a hint of saltiness" that set them aside from a normal corn dog.
