Big news: you can get the look, texture, taste, and performance of traditional from-scratch dough—all from par-baked crusts. And, when you go par-baked, your operation will be streamlined, customers will be impressed, and profits will soar.
Here are all the reasons why you should be selecting Par-Baked Hand-Tossed Style pizza crusts for your operation.
Flavor & Texture
Cardboard crust? Nah, we don’t do that here! Our Par-Baked Hand-Tossed crusts are yeasty with a pleasant, fermented flavor and slightly sweet finish. The middle thickness of these pizza crusts creates a softer, bready interior with a pizzeria-style chew and lightly crisp bottom. You can go crazy on toppings, too, as hand-tossed style pizza crusts come with an elevated outer edge to hold all the fixings.
Industry Insight
“A good crust is a must with 91% of Americans agreeing that a bad crust can ruin a pizza, according to a nationwide survey conducted online.”
Easy Handling for Operators and Consumers
These easy-to-handle pizza crusts help busy operators keep pace with demand surges while ensuring consistent flavor, texture, and performance. The crusts are partially baked in our ovens with final baking done in your oven or the consumer’s. And with short final bake times, your team will have more time for other tasks.
Oven types:
- Conveyor
- Rapid cook
- Home oven
Long Shelf Life and Long-Hold Integrity
These crusts have a long shelf life (365 days when frozen) and allow for long hold times in refrigeration and on the shelf as a finished pizza. For ready-made operations, these crusts maintain integrity under warming lights.
