Gustavo Gusto Pizza

Gustavo Gusto is a premium frozen pizza brand that revolutionized the frozen food aisle by introducing restaurant-quality pizzas to the retail market. Founded in 2014 by Christoph Schramm, the brand set itself apart by using high-quality ingredients, extra-large sizes, and a traditional stone-oven baking process that mimics authentic Italian pizzerias.

Originally starting in Geretsried, Bavaria, the company focused on authenticity and transparency, which led to rapid growth across Europe. Its commitment to excluding artificial flavor enhancers and using local ingredients helped it become one of the fastest-growing food companies in the region.

In 2022, the brand reached a major milestone when it was acquired by the Dr. Oetker Group, a global food industry giant based in Bielefeld, Germany. This acquisition allowed the brand to scale its distribution while maintaining its identity as a high-end alternative to traditional frozen pizzas. Today, the product is primarily manufactured in Germany, including major facilities in Artern, and continues to expand its footprint in international markets.
