Foodservice Runner Up: Prendisimo Duo Slice Pizza by McLane Co.

Prendisimo Duo Slice Pizza is a first-to-market innovation that transforms how convenience stores offer fresh pizza. Featuring artisan-quality, hand-stretched, sourdough-infused dough, real mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and loaded with premium toppings, Duo Slice delivers the taste and appearance of a restaurant pizza in a format built specifically for c-store operations. The unique rhombus shape bakes in under four minutes and is then cut into two generous, traditional slices.

Unlike traditional pizza programs that require operators to bake and hold full pies, Duo Slice allows stores to bake only what they need, reducing waste while maintaining freshness and quality. The format enables retailers to offer multiple flavors throughout the day without the risk of excess inventory, making it both innovative and practical. By combining premium ingredients, strong visual appeal, operational simplicity and proven demand for fresh foodservice, McLane’s Duo Slice Pizza gives retailers a smarter, more profitable way to serve pizza.
