Let’s be honest here. When did you last have a Pizza Night? No, not the kind where you order pizza on an app and wait for it to arrive. You know, a gathering of friends or family where you top several crusts with everyone’s favorite sauce, cheese and toppings as you sip a beverage and socialize? It’s social, it’s fun, and the results are delicious!

This is the week to remedy the situation and get your pizza party plan in place. Set a date and grab everything you need at Oliver’s Market. Our buyers have gone above and beyond to gather a truly amazing array of options for every piece of your pie.

Note: Prices in effect from August 7-13, 2024 at all Oliver’s Market locations. 

Crust

Let’s talk about crust for a minute. It is, after all, the cornerstone of every pizza. You can make your own dough from scratch, use our Oliver’s Own Pizza Dough, or grab one of our premade crusts one that is ready to go. Or, even better, how about a couple different options?

Oliver’s Own Pizza Dough, $2.99/ea. LOCAL: For the uninitiated, our Pizza Dough is one of the most popular items on our Deli Grab n Go wall. It makes perfect pizza every time. (Don’t forget you can also use if for calzones, breadsticks, etc.)  TIP: If you are opting for individual pizzas or doing this with kids, divide the dough and make smaller crusts so everyone can customize.

Other great crust options this week include a couple of additional crust options and the special “OO” flour that is used by the pros for great pizza dough structure.

• Caputo Tipo “00” Pizza Flour, 2.2 lb. Bag, $2.79
• Mama Mel’s Gluten Free Pizza Dough, 12 oz. Package, $5.49/ea. LOCAL

Don’t forget to check out our recipes for Meat Lovers Cast Iron Skillet Pizza, along with recipes for Homemade Pizza Sauce and Homemade Pizza Dough.

Sauce

Sauce is key to creating a delicious pizza. You can stick with the traditional red sauce (Our Oliver’s Sauce is a great place to start!), or branch out a bit and go for pesto, barbecue, a garlic/white sauce, or even a Balsamic glaze.

Here are some great sauce options on sale this week for your consideration:

• Oliver’s Own Pizza Sauce, 8 oz. Container, $2.49
• Oliver’s Own Pesto Sauce, 8 oz. Container, $5.99
• Ronda’s Romesco Sauce, 9 oz. Jar, $9.99/ea.

Cheese

When you think of pizza, what is the first thing that comes to mind? For many of us, it’s the cheese! From mild Mozzarella to bold Gorgonzola and everything in between, cheese is a pizza essential.

When planning your pizza night, think of a couple of flavor combinations you know you want, and then add a few more ingredients to try.

We have local and imported fresh Mozzarella, traditional shredded cheese, and for Vegan pizza makers, Miyoko’s Vegan Liquid Mozzarella, 16 oz. Bottle, $4.99, LOCAL. In our Gourmet Cheese department, we have some decadent options, including Angelo & Franco Fresh Mozzarella, 8 oz. Container, $4.99. Angelo and Franco emigrated to the US to make the highest quality Italian-style Cheeses from fresh Californian Milk. The perfect mozzarella to make the pizza of your dreams come true. We are also featuring Galbani Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, Selected Varieties. 7-8 oz. Container $4.49 from our REV (Real Everyday Values) flyer. If shredded cheese is more your style, we have Rumiano Family Organic Shredded Cheese, Selected Varieties. 6 oz. Package, $2.99.
