Rich Products is expanding its menu for foodservice operators by adding two trend-forward products to its Authentically Italian Portfolio: Gluten Free Cauliflower Pinsa and a Roman Style Pizza Dough Ball. Crafted for operators looking to offer premium options – including plant-based – these new products are ideal for everyday menus, limited-time offers and seasonal recipes. Introduced earlier this year, Rich’s Authentically Italian Portfolio allows operators and retailers to satisfy consumer demand for Italian-inspired artisanal pizzas delivered in easy-to-execute formats.

Pizza operators are experimenting more with globally inspired pizzas and pizza ingredients than ever before, in order to meet the demand from Gen Z and Millennial consumers looking for artisan and Italian formats of pizza.

Rich’s Gluten Free Cauliflower Pinsa (each case includes 24 Pinsas) uses a blend of rice and buckwheat flour, along with cauliflower. It is handcrafted by Rich’s using premium ingredients and a unique fermentation process, resulting in a soft, airy interior and a crunch on the outside. Ideal for busy operators looking to elevate their menus, this 7.5-ounce parbaked Pinsa transitions effortlessly from freezer to oven to plate in just minutes. Simply top, bake, and serve.

“Our new Gluten Free Cauliflower Pinsa delivers a flavorful, fun, and fancy pizza experience that a wide range of consumers can enjoy,” says Alyssa Barrett, senior customer marketing manager, Rich Products. “These new options in the Rich’s Authentically Italian Portfolio help operators with limited labor satisfy consumers seeking artisanal Italian foods.”

Rich’s Roman Style Pizza Dough Balls (each case includes 24 dough balls) were carefully developed to create an authentic Roman Style Pizza, one of the “great classics” of Italian street food. The uniquely formulated high-hydration dough is made with double zero ‘00’ style high-gluten flour. It is typically baked in a rectangular pan and cut into smaller squares or rectangles for serving, forming a crust that’s crispy on the outside and soft, light, and airy on the inside. The 23-ounce dough balls arrive pre-portioned and ready to thaw, proof, stretch, top and bake into authentic Roman Style pies or other signature creations, including calzones, stromboli, breadsticks, sandwich carriers and more.
