All Natural Fire Baked Thin Crust Pizzas

What is a Fire-Baked Thin Crust?
 

For centuries, the finest pizza makers in Italy have baked their pizzas on blazing hot stones next to an open flame. Our signature crust is tender on the inside and crispy on the bottom because we use a classic technique to bake the crusts in a hearth oven. Our crusts would be considered a medium thin crust ~ thin enough to deliver the bottom crispy texture we all love, but thick enough to handle our generous toppings.
 

What does Uncured mean?
 

Cured meats (luncheon meats, hot dogs, bacon) contain nitrites. Uncured meats and organic meats do not. Sodium nitrite (or sodium nitrate) is widely used as a preservative, antimicrobial agent, color fixative and flavoring in cured meats and other products. Nitrite is used to cure meat because it prevents bacterial growth and gives the meat a red color. However, nitrites in meat can react with degradation products of amino acids, forming nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens.

Numerous studies have found that nitrites contribute to a variety of negative health effects. Because “uncured” meat products contain no added nitrates or nitrites, our pizzas are a welcome addition to health-conscious consumers who prefer to avoid those preservatives both for themselves and for their children.

Our wholesome nitrate- and nitrite-free meat toppings are “Uncured” just another example of Pacific Foods’ commitment to producing the best tasting, best-for-you, and best-for-the-planet meat protein products – Certified to the Source
 

What kind of cheeses do you use?
 

We use a blend of three cheeses ~ mozzarella, provolone and parmesan-reggiano cheeses.

• Mozarella is a white semi soft cheese and made from whole or part skim milk, and gives pizzas that soft stringy cheese texture that we all love.
• Provolone is a semi-hard cheese with a mild, but balanced flavor.
• Parmigiano-Reggiano is a hard, granular cheese, made from raw cow’s milk and cooked but not pressed.
   

How long is the product good in the freezer?
 

When properly stored in your freezer, our pizzas are best if used by the date listed on the bottom of the carton. For best quality, do not allow the pizza to thaw and do not eat without cooking.
