Dr. Oetker Professional has unveiled a new Deep Dish Cheese & Tomato Pizza that counts as one of your five a day.

Fully loaded, the new lighter deep dish has more tasty tomato sauce, a two-cheese blend of reduced saturated fat^* cheddar and mozzarella, as well as diced tomato under the cheese – for a vegetable boost. A foodservice first, the new Deep Dish 1-of-5 a Day Pizza will prove a popular choice for pizza fans big and small, as well as mindful operators looking to meet consumer demand for healthier dishes when eating out – especially children’s menus.  

Richard Cooper, Senior Brand Manager, Dr. Oetker Professional (UK) explains:
“As the go-to pizza experts we’re always looking at ways to innovate our products and reflect what’s happening in the market. Pizza is unquestionably a best-selling dish and a firm favourite for kids. The new Deep Dish 1-of-5 a Day Pizza delivers on taste and will help operators do their best by their customers and especially the all-important family market.”

With one in three families eating out at least once a week and pubs proving the most popular place to eat^{^}, the launch will help parents treat their children responsibly.

Richard adds;
“Families are eating out more and more and parents are asking for better options their children will want to eat and most importantly enjoy. Unlike ready-made dishes, our new Deep Dish 1-of-5 a Day Pizza is low in sugar, fat and a source of protein.  That’s a very strong message for family focused operators to put on their menus and show customers – especially parents – their children can still have a portion of vegetables even when they’re treating them.”

A great addition to any menu, the unique 5-inch Deep Dish Pizza is vegetarian and easy to cook in the oven. With no prep needed, it has a holding time of 45 minutes, allowing the kitchen to cook in advance during busy periods and keep waste to a minimum.
The Deep Dish 1-of-5 a Day Pizza is available now and comes frozen in a 24 x 170g case. A leading family pizza and baking business, Dr. Oetker was founded in 1891 and has a dedicated professional range working to provide quality solutions that add excitement to menus with total ease and reassurance.
