Anytime is pizza time, as any young person will tell you! We can see the appeal: light, crispy crust; tangy tomato sauce; the baked cheese… Yup, we can live with that!
Pizza as we know it was born in Naples in the late nineteenth century, and its popularity has flourished worldwide.
It was frozen food technology that finally brought pizza to the masses and, since the 90s, DiGiorno has been frozen pizza’s rising star.
This month, we’re featuring DiGiorno’s 12 inch size.
