Wagner Steinofenpizza

Wagner Steinofenpizza is one of Europe's most recognizable frozen pizza brands, known for its tradition of stone-oven baking. The brand was founded in Germany by Ernst Wagner in 1968, originally starting as a bakery before revolutionizing the frozen food market with its stone-baked method.

Today, the production remains largely centralized in Nonnweiler, Germany, where Nestlé Wagner GmbH operates one of the largest frozen pizza factories in the world. As of 2024 and moving into future years, the brand is fully integrated into the Nestlé global portfolio, maintaining its high standards for quality and crispy crust that consumers have trusted for decades.

Ownership of the brand transitioned to Nestlé in stages, starting with a partial acquisition in 2005 and full ownership by 2013. The brand benefits from Nestlé's global distribution network while maintaining its German heritage and traditional manufacturing processes.
