Donna Italia pizzas are proudly made in Italy. We use a proprietary recipe that allows us to bring you premium tasting pizzeria-quality pizzas without passing along the hassles or hefty investments of your own pizzeria set up.
To deliver the authentic taste of Italian pizza, Donna Italia uses only premium ingredients and are free from preservatives, baking enhances, or added sugar. Our pizzas are 100% natural and made from the highest quality non-GMO ingredients.
We only use 100% natural ingredients, with most grown in the southern region of Italy. We use premium type 1 flour, a special mix of Italy-grown grains with Granito. We do not add preservatives, baking enhances, or sugar to our products so you can enjoy a wonderfully flavorful pizza.
Our dough is made using premium type 1 flour with Granito. A minimal amount of yeast is used, and we allow our dough to ferment for 24 hours. The result is a lighter pizza that is easy to digest.
Donna Italia pizzas are par-baked on stone in a wood-fired oven to give them an irresistibly authentic Italian taste. The wood smoke is one of the reasons for the incomparable taste and flavor of Donna Italia's pizzas.
Because Donna Italia pizzas are par-baked before they are frozen, once thawed, it takes only 3 minutes or less to bake them in high-temperature Donna Italia stone-ovens, meaning you can quickly deliver an authentic Italian pizza to your customers.
Donna Italia uses an exclusive hot-pressing method to produce our pizzas. This manufacturing method locks in the aroma and creates a crust that naturally protects the base from the wet tomato sauce, keeping it crisp and fragrant.
Our pizzas can be stored in your refrigerator or freezer. Recommended shelf life from the production date stamped on packaging is 3 days thawed in the refrigerator or 18 months frozen.
We don't recommend baking Donna Italia pizza in a non-Donna Italia oven. For the best results, we recommend baking Donna Italia pizzas only in another stone pizza or coal fired ovens to ensure that you don't sacrifice taste and quality.
All Donna Italia pizzas contain gluten.
