This new collection brings Italy's most exquisite flavors right to your home, with its first offerings being the tantalizing frozen pizzas, Margherita and Supermargherita.
Valpizza’s SuperNapoli line of frozen pizza is rooted in the Italian pizzeria tradition, with the purpose of keeping its main features intact: traditional Italian hand-stretching of natural leavened dough, wood firing and stone baking, attention to ingredients using only 100% Italian tomato sauce and flours from 100% Italian grains, the goal to enhance the pizza making art and the authentic Italian aromatic profile.
Carando, a brand of Smithfield Foods, is venturing further into the deli section with the addition of handheld, fully-cooked calzones. The new line features three flavors to tantalize every palate, including Pepperoni, Meatball, and Chicken Parmesan. Known for its authentic Italian flavors, the calzones offer consumers a simple, no-prep meal without skimping on taste.
