Pizza Buddy Pizza Dough, 16oz. Bag

I don't order pizza or buy premade pizza any more! I love this dough! You can part it and freeze if you don't want to make a large pizza. You control the size and dough thickness. You can make mini pizzas, mini pizza rolls, calzones, garlic bread sticks, you can even use for fruit turnovers, pot pies, so many options. You will need a little flour to knead and flatten dough, but don't use too much. I add a little olive oil to the dough to help shape it. My friend worked in a pizza restaurant, and he loves this dough and can make a nice round pizza. Mine are more artisan with an oval rectangular shape, but it taste the same. Great activity for families with kids, and you can make a pizza that everyone will love or individual pizzas. Don't overload with ingredients. I prebake just dough a little if I am making a pizza with lots of ingredients. Be creative, you will not be disappointed. I recommend making a simple ingredient test pizza to get a feel for temp and time to bake. All ovens are different. Also, I recommend using a pizza pan with holes. Cooks pizza better than solid trays.

These crust are great when you don’t have time to make your own crust or can’t. I purchase from the deli area unfrozen and I bring them home and stick in the fridge. Check the dates on the package and use before or on the date, unless you bring home and put in the freezer to use at a later date, which is fine. When I am ready to use I remove the dough from the package and form into a ball and cover to let rise at room temperature a couple hours at least. If frozen thaw first then form and let rise. When you are ready to make your pizza don’t handle the dough too much just press out and shape it. You can do this in the pan either thin or leave thicker. I bake at 450 and like mine more done. The crust is crisp on the bottom and fluffy on the back edge. I also brush my pizza pan with a bit of olive oil. Flavor is also very good with the crust. I prefer these over the Pepe brand. But either is fine.

I remember the old Chef Boyardee Pizza in a box from when I was a kid. THIS is not that! I've tried all kinds of pizza crusts (as it IS my favorite food) and Pizza Buddy blows them away. It's honestly better then the refrigerated doughs like Pillsbury, the "premade" crusts like Mama Mary (maybe not Boboli) and even homemade dough that I've made from scratch (not by much though). It does have a very short life-span if you don't freeze it though, so use it quick!

Made two awesome grilled pizzas with one dough ball. Cut thawed dough in half with a sharp knife then kneaded each half into a ball and let sit for an hour. Coated each in olive oil then stretched to form thin rounds and placed on a hot well oiled gas grill to lightly brown, flipped over and proceeded to complete topped pizza and cook on the grill with cover closed.

This crust took homemade to restaurant quality, I believe. By the time you buy crust, sauce, cheese, and other toppings-- it's about the same as Pizza Delivery (sale price) but SO worth it, IMO. The dough is great to work with!!! Can't wait for the next one-- which will be a Taco Pizza. 🍕 Pic below: My Homemade Philly Cheese Steak Pizza 😋

Leave it in the fridge for a day or two to cold ferment and then it makes a wonderful light crispy Neapolitan style pizza baked at 900°f. Comes out perfect. At lower temps it is still a heck of a lot better than any frozen pizza. I ised to make my own dough but this saves soooo much time.

have tried many many types of high quality pizza and for a budget/convenience dough this is pretty good i was surprised. no real off tastes just a few muted. let it warm to room temp add a little flour and it’s good to go and easy to roll out. i’ve also made deep dish with this it’s ok and holds up to the temp, thinking back now maybe it could add a few drips of water to the dough maybe 15-20min before cooking and let dry first for dd

I just love this pizza crust. I try to order it every time I get a food delivery, just hoping they have it in stock. I only manage to get it about half the time. There is a reason they can't keep it stocked, its that good. Not too sweet, not at all tough, just perfect.

This is GREAT dough for the price! Definitely follow the "Pro Tips" and take this out an hour before you need to use it. Form it into a ball, drop it into an oiled bowl, and cover it with a towel or plastic wrap. After the hour is up, shape or cut as needed. I let mine rest for the hour, then shaped, then let it rest another 15 minutes and shaped further (I don't like to roll out my pizza dough, I stretch and press it more like you're making focaccia bread); this method worked perfectly for letting the dough relax and also develop more. One package was perfect for making 2 personal sized pizzas! The baked crust had a really nice flavor and cooked up beautifully. Brush your pizza edges with a little olive oil and sprinkle on flaked salt and garlic powder with italian seasoning or a little parmesan for an extra good pizza! I will DEFINITELY be buying this again!

Pizza Buddy is sooo good...even better than my homemade dough. It must be the NJ water ;-) I've used it up to 2 days after the printed expiration date with successful results. I let the package come to room temperature for about 3 hours. After removing the dough from the package, I coat it with some EVOO and shape it into a perforated 16 inch pizza pan. If it springs back or shrinks (good signs that the gluten has developed), I let it rest in the proof setting of my oven for about 20 minutes and then reshape it. Then, I proof it for another 40 minutes or so, top it with our favorite toppings, and bake it according to directions. My method makes a crispy, thin crust that we love. Please don't stop making Pizza Buddy!!!
