Pizzetta Party Mignon: the Italian mini pizza for professional buffets
The Pizzetta Party Mignon by San Giorgio is a 20 g fully baked frozen mini pizza topped with Italian tomato pulp (35%) and mozzarella (10%) on a soft leavened dough base. Each 2 kg carton contains 100 calibrated pieces, oven-ready in 3-5 minutes at 170-180 °C straight from the freezer. It is the reference one-bite format for aperitifs, buffets and banqueting in professional kitchens.
What is a pizzetta mignon
The pizzetta is the miniature heir of the Neapolitan pizza tradition, born at the rosticceria and bakery counters of Campania, where discs of leavened dough topped with tomato and mozzarella are sold as street food and party food. The mignon format reduces the disc to a single 20 g bite while keeping the structure of the original: leavened dough, tomato, cheese. Fully baked and then deep-frozen, it returns from the oven with the fragrance of a freshly made product, without any in-house preparation.
The producer: San Giorgio, frozen bakery from Campania since 1980
San Giorgio is a family company founded in 1980 by Sabato Bruno in Castel San Giorgio, in the province of Salerno (Campania). In 35 years a small pastry workshop has grown into a high-tech frozen bakery with 15 production lines, around 150 employees, 6,000 pallet positions and a catalogue of over 150 sweet and about 100 savoury references for the food service market, with certified food safety standards (BRC, IFS, ISO).
Technical specifications and preparation
Each pizzetta weighs 20 g; the carton holds 100 pieces for a net weight of 2 kg (article code P0303SG, EAN 8033822372646). Bake from frozen in a preheated oven at 170-180 °C for 3-5 minutes, without defrosting: the dough regains its softness and the topping melts evenly. In convection ovens use a gentle fan setting to avoid drying the surface.
Professional uses
Aperitivo and happy hour: serve 3-4 pizzette per guest alongside fried finger food such as olive ascolane and breaded mozzarella bites. Buffets and banqueting: one carton covers up to 100 guests with a single tray-to-oven rotation. Hotel breakfast and brunch: a warm savoury option ready in under 5 minutes. Bar counters: bake small batches through the day for a constantly fresh display. Catering: a stable frozen product that travels well in isothermal boxes.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not defrost the pizzette before baking: thawing makes the dough soggy and the tomato watery. Do not exceed 180 °C or 5 minutes: the mozzarella dries out and the rim hardens. Do not bake more than you serve within the hour: like every leavened product, the pizzetta gives its best warm, within 30-60 minutes from the oven.
Storage and food safety
Store at -18 °C until the best-before date printed on the pack; once defrosted, do not refreeze. The cold chain is maintained at -18 °C from the production plant to delivery. Allergens: contains gluten (wheat flour) and milk (mozzarella); always refer to the pack label for the complete ingredient list.
