Dr. Oetker Die Ofenfrische Margherita pizza

Dr. Oetker is a globally recognized German food brand, particularly famous for its frozen pizzas like the 'Die Ofenfrische' line. The brand was founded in 1891 in Bielefeld, Germany, by August Oetker, who initially gained fame for his bakepowder.

Today, the brand remains under the 100% control of the Oetker Group (Oetker-Gruppe), a large German family-owned conglomerate. Production for the European market, including 'Die Ofenfrische', is primarily carried out in specialized factories in Germany, such as those in Wittlich or Wittenburg, though they maintain a global network of manufacturing sites to serve international markets.
