Original Wagner Piccolinis

Original Wagner Piccolinis are a staple in the frozen food category, known for being bite-sized mini pizzas. The brand Wagner traces its roots back to 1968 when Ernst Wagner founded a bakery in Nonnweiler, Germany. Over the decades, it evolved from a local family business into one of Europe's leading frozen pizza manufacturers.

Today, the production remains centralized in Nonnweiler, Germany, where millions of pizzas are manufactured annually. While Nestlé acquired the company fully in 2013, the brand underwent a significant corporate structural change in 2023. It is now part of a joint venture between Nestlé and the private equity firm PAI Partners. This joint venture, named European Pizza Group, manages the frozen pizza business across several European markets, combining Nestlé's brand heritage with PAI Partners' focused investment strategies.
