How can we help?

Using a high quality, finished product can help caterers cope with the increasing pressures on the industry and in the kitchen. A cook from frozen product helps to reduce preparation times, reduce wastage and reduce the hidden costs of scratch cooking. Dr. Oetker Professional pizzas have the additional benefit of being nutrient dense menu options to help support a balanced lifestyle for students, whilst giving the caterer the confidence in consistency and provenance.

Pizza is an ideal meal and snacking solution as it mimics the High Street takeaways and convenience dining options that are so popular with the secondary school age group. With Dr. Oetker Professional, schools are able to offer a superior menu choice; either serving the pizza as a meal or by the slice to grab & go. The premium quality of Dr. Oetker Professional is similar to the well known pizza brands that children eat at the weekend and are familiar with; making Dr. Oetker Professional pizzas an appealing food choice for pupils.

Vale of Glamorgan LEA identified they needed to replicate High Street offerings in order to excite pupils. They worked with Dr. Oetker Professional to offer pizza on their menu after seeing how they were able to meet the challenge and deliver the high-quality taste students expect. “Not only does the Balanced Choice pizza support food standards, but the stuffed crust and Chicago Town brand is easily recognisable by the pupils, making it a great option for our menus” explains Symon Dovey, Assistant Catering Manager at the Vale of Glamorgan LEA. “As soon as Balanced Choice was served the pupils went crazy for it and we knew it was an instant success. We now offer the cheese pizza twice a week – serving it by the slice.” The frozen Balanced Choice cheese pizza delivers in as little as 6 minutes from frozen. With a holding time of up to 45 minutes, caterers are guaranteed a consistent result with no additional pressure in the kitchen.
