Restaurant-inspired frozen pizza

Dr. Oetker Virtuoso pizza
January 11, 2017

Dr. Oetker, Mount Laurel, N.J., introduced Virtuoso Pizza, best-in-class frozen pizza inspired from his family-owned pizzeria.

For years, Dr. Oetker has been committed to delivering pizza that brings home the simple and joyful pleasures of time well spent with family and friends. Now, with the conversion from Ristorante to Virtuoso, the company adds a new look to the freezer aisle and a fresh perspective to routine dinners.

"We are incredibly proud to introduce Dr. Oetker Virtuoso in the U.S., which comes as the result of extensive consumer research and careful consideration," says William Whalen, executive vice president at Dr. Oetker USA. "Virtuoso is a high-quality pizza with the same fresh-tasting ingredients and distinctive flavor combinations many consumers already know and love from Ristorante."

Virtuoso is made with the same exact recipe and ingredients as Ristorante, and comes in the following varieties:

Mozzarella & Pesto. 100% real mozzarella and Edam cheeses, sun-ripened tomatoes, crushed pesto and signature sauce.

Signature Spinach. Farm-grown leafy spinach, 100% real mozzarella, signature sauce and swirls of hearty garlic sauce.

Pepperoni Pesto. Thinly sliced flavor-rich pepperoni, 100% real mozzarella cheese, basil, crushed pesto and signature sauce, drizzled with olive oil.

Vegetable Medley. Fresh-picked, sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, pickled pepperoncini peppers, basil, 100% real mozzarella and Edam cheeses and signature sauce.

Mushroom. Overflowing with mushrooms, 100% real mozzarella and Edam cheeses along with signature sauce.

Seasoned Chicken. Tender, seasoned chicken, farm-grown spinach, sun-ripened tomatoes, basil, 100% real mozzarella and Edam cheeses and signature sauce.

Pepperoni & Ham. Savory slices of pepperoni, cooked ham, 100% real mozzarella and Edam cheeses, signature sauce and an herb blend.

Four Cheese. A blend of 100% real cheeses, including mozzarella, Edam, Emmentaler, blue cheese, basil seasoning and signature sauce.

Tomato & Goat Cheese. 100% real mozzarella, Edam and goat cheeses, fresh-picked sweet cherry and sun-dried tomatoes, crushed pesto and signature sauce.

Virtuoso is available in all grocery stores that previously carried Ristorante.
