The makers of Freschetta pizza are taking a whole new approach to frozen pizza with the introduction of two new frozen pizza innovations: Freschetta Simply...Inspired pizzas and Freschetta By The Slice. From flash-frozen vegetables picked at the peak of freshness and unique blends of real cheeses, to inventive product packaging and cooking technology, Freschetta pizzas offer a deliciously fresh taste experience in every bite with these newest creations in frozen pizza.

"We know consumers' tastes have evolved and they are seeking more flavorful variations in their frozen pizza selections, which until now is a need that hasn't been met," says Mary Brown, Freschetta senior director of marketing. "With Freschetta Simply...Inspired pizzas, we are elevating the quality of frozen pizza with distinctive combinations of large-cut vegetables, flavorful sauces and delightful varieties of cheeses and meats to create new varieties unseen before in this category. And for when our consumer is time-strapped, Freschetta By The Slice provides the perfect solution when seeking one perfect slice of pizza in minutes."

Freschetta is inspired to toss out the frozen pizza box

A celebration of fresh taste
Each flavor of Freschetta Simply...Inspired Pizza offers a completely new taste experience from traditional frozen pizza. The full line of pizzas features unique varieties of vegetables, such as roasted red peppers and shiitake mushrooms, and distinctive sauces and cheeses perfectly balanced on a thin, crispy crust. Freschetta Simply...Inspired Pizzas are an ideal combination of crust and toppings for a deliciously different pizza.

And the innovation didn't stop with the pizza. With the introduction of Freschetta Simply...Inspired pizza, the brand took a fresh look at the product packaging. Each of the eight varieties of Freschetta Simply...Inspired pizzas is wrapped in new Fresch-Taste Seal packaging to lock in the flavor while using 30 percent less packaging by weight than a traditional pizza carton. By removing the outer box, Freschetta Simply...Inspired pizza saves 1,378 tons of paperboard, which adds up to 23,433 trees that Freschetta is saving each year. This new package design sets Freschetta Simply...Inspired pizzas apart in the frozen pizza section and fits well in home freezers.

Freschetta Simply...Inspired pizzas provide three to four servings and are starting to appear in the frozen pizza section of grocers nationwide in the following unique varieties: Hawaiian Style, Farmers Market Veggie, Harvest Supreme, Southern BBQ Recipe Chicken, Rustic Pepperoni Pomodoro, Classic Bruschetta and the limited-edition varieties of Tuscan Farmhouse and Chicken Bianco.

Freschetta By The Slice

One slice at a time
For when the desire for the fresh taste of Freschetta pizza strikes when in a hurry or away from the oven, the makers of Freschetta pizza introduce Freschetta By The Slice, one perfect slice of pizza ready in minutes. It's a single slice, cut from a whole pizza, made with the same premium ingredients for that same delicious fresh taste found in all Freschetta pizzas. Combining unsurpassed fresh taste with innovative, microwave cooking technology, all four varieties of Freschetta By The Slice provide oven-baked taste, right out of the microwave.

Freschetta By The Slice packages contain one slice of pizza and are now appearing in the frozen pizza section of grocers nationwide in the following four fresh-tasting varieties: Six Cheese Medley; Chicken, Spinach and Mushroom; Vegetable Medley; and BBQ Chicken.
