Rich Products is expanding its portfolio of pizza doughs and crusts with an authentic, Italian-style lineup of pizza products.

“At Rich’s, we’re always looking at how we can elevate our pizza offerings, bringing products to market that we know consumers are looking for, while making sure these products are easy for operators to execute at a store level,” said Donna Reeves-Collins, senior vice president, Pizza & Flatbread Category, Rich Products. “Last year, our team traveled to Italy to gather inspiration and expertise that would enhance our portfolio with more authentically Italian products. In Europe, we tasted some of the best pizza we’d ever had and saw the opportunity to bring some of these products and innovation to the U.S. & Canada markets.  We’re excited today to introduce several new Authentically Italian products that will help pizza operators expand their menus and drive excitement for consumers.” 

Rich’s new Authentically Italian pizza portfolio features a variety of distinct products, all with roots tied to Italy. At the center of the portfolio is Rich’s Italian Pinsa. A Roman-style pizza crust with a unique dough fermentation process, Pinsa has seen a surge across Europe over the past couple years but is just beginning to gain traction here in North America. Hand-stretched and made with authentic regional ingredients imported from Italy, Rich’s new Pinsa features an irresistible aroma paired with a unique crust that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. 

Rich’s will be providing pizza lovers with an exclusive “first taste” of its new Pinsa at Pizza Expo from March 19-21. Additionally, Rich’s will feature its full Authentically Italian portfolio at the show, which includes: 

• 7” x 11” Oval Pinsa and 12” Round Pinsa

Rich’s parbaked crust is made with Double Zero ‘00’ style flour, delivering the taste, texture and aroma one would find in a Roman cafe, but with freezer-to-oven simplicity. Rich’s new Double Zero ‘00’ Parbaked Crusts are expected to be available through Dot Foods by May 6, 2024.
