About Ristorante
Ristorante is a thin-crust frozen pizza launched in 1984 and positioned as restaurant quality at home, and it is the largest frozen pizza brand in Europe. Its introduction moved frozen pizza from a convenience product to a considered purchase. Dr. Oetker owns it, and the thin base was a deliberate break from the thick crusts then standard.
