Pan’Artisan has just launched Mini Pizza Pala Margherita, addressing the demand for authentic, food-to-go convenience.

The UK food-to-go sector has bounced back from a difficult few years showing growth, with forecasted values for this sector at £22.2 billion for 2023*.

Pan’Artisan’s latest addition to its premium bakery range, the Mini Pizza Pala Margherita, offers a true Italian product made to an authentic Italian recipe, providing operators with a tasty, quick to serve product, great for on-the-go or dine in scenarios.

Chris Dickinson, Pan’Artisan’s Business Development Director:

“Pizza accounts for one of the most popular menu items and industry statistics show product authenticity is a key factor to attract consumers: ‘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.’**

“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’s a true taste of Italy made to an authentic Italian recipe. 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 the operator to customise with additional toppings to extend choices on their menu.”

The Mini Pizza Pala Margherita is perfect for handheld eating as this tasty, rectangular shaped pizza measures 22cm by 10cm, offering a generously sized single portion of pizza to sate the hungriest of appetites. Simply defrost the product at room temperature until fully thawed, it is suitable for all oven types. 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.

Available in cases of 42 units.
