New DIGIORNO Crispy Pan Pizza is baked in its own pan fresh from your oven and topped with edge to edge cheese for a crust that is crispy and caramelized on the outside and soft and tender inside.

“We set out to create a one-of-a-kind pizza that responded to a desire for a crispy pan pizza straight from the oven,” said Mike Niethammer, Vice President of Marketing, Pizza & Snacking, Nestlé USA. “Our bakery experts met the challenge head on, developing a recipe that uses heat technology to bake each pizza to crust perfection in its own specialized pan, and consumers are raving about it.”

DIGIORNO Crispy Pan Pizza is made with 100 percent real cheese, a preservative-free crust and no artificial flavors. Four 12″ x 8″ delicious varieties – Pepperoni, Four Cheese, Supreme and Three Meat – are rolling out to grocery stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $8.49 (prices vary by retailer).
