Pan’Artisan has launched Mini Pizza Pala Margherita, catering to the food-to-go convenience market in Britain. Demand has bounced back from a difficult few years bringing growth, with forecasted values for the sector at £22.2 billion for 2023, according to Lumina Intelligence.
Pan’Artisan’s latest addition to its premium bakery range is made following an authentic Italian recipe, providing foodservice operators with a tasty, quick to serve product suitable for both on-the-go and dine in scenarios.
“Pizza accounts for one of the most popular menu items and industry statistics show product authenticity is a key factor to attract consumers. Mintel reports that 63% of those that have eaten in or ordered pizza agree that it’s worth paying more for pizza/Italian dishes that are made traditionally,” said Chris Dickinson, business development director of
Midhurst, West Sussex, England-based Pan’Artisan.
He added: “Consumer demand for high quality food-to-go options has increased, and our newly launched Mini Pizza Pala Margherita offers the ultimate in convenience. It is stone-baked and ready topped with fine quality Italian tomato sauce and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, which is delicious as is, but also enables operators to customize with additional toppings to extend choices on their menu.”
The rectangular-shaped product measures 22cm by 10cm, offering a generously sized single portion of pizza to satisfy hardy appetites. Simply defrost the pizza at room temperature until fully thawed. Then cook at 200-220°C for approximately 6 to 8 minutes (depending on oven type used) until the base is crisp and the cheese is melted.
Distribution is in cases containing 42 units.
