It is critical that Connie’s 12” Deep-Dish pizza is handled, cooked and served properly. It will insure that our customers have a great experience every time they order our pizza. Failure to meet these standards could result in an inferior product and lost customers.

Connie’s 12” Deep-Dish pizzas, along with all Connie’s pizzas, are made with the finest of quality ingredients. From the whole milk mozzarella cheese, to our Connie’s labeled pizza sauce, no shortcuts in production or expense are taken in the making of our product. This is a valuable selling point, so do not hesitate letting our customers know of the high end product you are offering to them.
Our 12” Deep-Dish pizza must be cooked from a thawed state. Thawing process- 12 hours slacked in refrigeration, or 24 hours in case. Date pizza upon thawing with a five-day shelf life. (Today’s date + four = expiration date)
Flavor offerings are: Cheese, Cheese and Italian Sausage, Cheese and Pepperoni & Cheese w/vegetables. (tomato, mushroom, onions and green peppers)
The employee receiving the pizza should check the boxes for any outside damage. If outside damage is present, open the box to check the pizzas for any damage.
Next the receiver should check the expiration date on the box; a six-month shelf life is printed on the outside of the box.
Place a received date on the box for rotation purposes.
When stacking pizzas in the freezer, they should not be stacked more than four cases high, to prevent crushing. If you unpack the pizza, please make sure to date the product with an expiration date.
Check your freezer to assure that temperature of 0° F to -10° F is being maintained.
Never store pizza on its side, as cheese and other toppings may be displaced.
Rotation of product is essential. The “older” product should always be used first.
When placing product into the freezer, always place old product “in front of” or “on top of” new product. This will insure the product integrity thru out your usage process.
Track your weekly sales for three to four weeks to develop a weekly usage for ordering purposes.
