Fully loaded, the new lighter deep dish has more tomato sauce, a two-cheese blend of reduced saturated fat* cheddar and mozzarella, as well as diced tomato under the cheese for a vegetable boost.
Richard Cooper, senior brand manager, Dr. Oetker Professional (UK) said: “As the go-to pizza experts we’re always looking at ways to innovate our products and reflect what’s happening in the market. Pizza is unquestionably a best-selling dish and a firm favourite for kids. The new Deep Dish 1-of-5 a Day Pizza delivers on taste and will help operators do their best by their customers and especially the all-important family market.
“Families are eating out more and more and parents are asking for better options their children will want to eat and most importantly enjoy. Unlike ready-made dishes, our new Deep Dish 1-of-5 a Day Pizza is low in sugar, fat and a source of protein.
“That’s a very strong message for family focused operators to put on their menus and show customers – especially parents – their children can still have a portion of vegetables even when they’re treating them.”
The unique 5-inch Deep Dish Pizza is vegetarian and easy to cook in the oven. With no prep needed, it has a holding time of 45 minutes, allowing the kitchen to cook in advance during busy periods and keep waste to a minimum.
The Deep Dish 1-of-5 a Day Pizza is available now and comes frozen in a 24 x 170g case.
