We’re Passionate About Pizza

Founded in 1989, Alive & Kickin’ Pizza Crust has deep roots in the pizza industry. Our founders and managers have experience owning and operating pizza manufacturing companies, as well as multiple regional pizza chains. The company grew rapidly through the ‘90s and early 2000s, significantly broadening our production capacity and capabilities.

In 2015, we expanded our product offerings with the acquisition of The Dough Shop, a manufacturer of high-quality frozen dough balls. We now service all areas of the pizza industry—manufacturing, food service, convenience, quick-service restaurant, hospitality, and more.

Today, we make a variety of pizza dough products in a large assortment of weights and sizes. We have a passion for pizza that shows in every project we take on and every product we make. With a knowledgeable group of experts, Alive & Kickin’ is the leader in frozen dough technology and customization in the pizza industry.

We’re proud to be the supplier of choice across the nation, offering a full line of remarkably good pizza doughs—so good, in fact, that customers confidently stake their reputations on them.
