Italpizza frozen pizza

Italpizza is a premier Italian brand renowned for its authentic, high-quality frozen pizzas. Founded in 1991 in San Donnino, Modena, the company established itself by utilizing traditional Italian leavening processes and hand-stretching techniques to replicate the experience of a traditional pizzeria in a frozen format. The company quickly grew into one of Italy's most significant pizza exporters, leveraging its culinary heritage to expand into international markets including the United States, Russia, and Central America.

The brand's production is deeply rooted in Italy, specifically at its historic headquarters in Modena and additional facilities like the one in Pavia di Udine. However, to meet growing global demand and optimize supply chains, the company has expanded its manufacturing footprint, including a significant production presence in Spain through the acquisition of the former Nestlé plant in Orkoien (Navarra). This blend of local Italian craftsmanship and strategic European expansion allows Italpizza to maintain its position as a leading global player in the frozen food sector.

Ownership of the brand has seen significant transitions over the decades. Originally an independent venture, it was acquired by the British company Bakkavör in 2008 before returning to Italian ownership in 2014 through the Dreamfood Group, led by entrepreneur Cristian Pederzini. Today, Italpizza Spa remains under the control of the Pederzini family, continuing its legacy as a specialist in the frozen pizza market while aggressively pursuing growth through international acquisitions and high-capacity manufacturing sites.
