Shakespeare's Pizza and Mail Order Pizza

Buy Shakespeare's Frozen Pizza

Shakespeare's has finagled it's way into the freezer case!

We bribed the managers of the frozen foods departments of a couple of grocers with pizzas, Frescas, and a few other things we won't mention.  We got our stuff onto the shelves, and now you can buy it.

Years ago, we got all of our smartest tie dye T-shirt wearing folks together in the back room and figured out how to make a frozen version of our pies.  We tried everything. 

We dissected a DiGiornio's and a Freschetta's.  We put one of ours together and froze it.  We put all the separate parts on wax paper and froze them and assembled them frozen.  (Yes, we made discs of frozen pizza sauce, on a greased pizza pan.  That was really weird.)  We enrolled in a 4-day seminar in Manhattan Kansas, at the American Institute of Baking, on frozen pizza production (Thanks, Dr. Lehman).  We tried a lot of other stuff, and some of it had nothing at all to do with pizza, but it was fun, in a dissonant kind of way.  In the end, we came up with what we came up with.  We eat it ourselves... lots.

The first ones were sold at the Pierpont Store in beautiful downtown Pierpont, MO, just south of Columbia, about 8 or 13 years ago.  They still sell the stink of them there.  Now we're in most of Mid-Mo, and working on St Louis.  Not exactly a meteoric rise to World Domination of the frozen pizza market, but we're fine about it.   We're working with the nice folks at Schnuck's, and hope to be there soon, too.

Long story short:

We're not going to feed you a line about how our frozen pizzas are exactly as good as the ones that come out of the ovens on Ninth Street.  You are waaaaay too smart for that.  We will tell you that, honestly, lots of our customers really like them.

Here are the answers to a few questions you may have floating around in that noggin of yours:

• This is where you can buy our frozen pizzas in stores
• Don't live near by? Have it shipped to you or surprise a friend with a Shakes pie. There are some shipping limits, though.  Not our idea; we're just abiding the law.
• Sell frozen pies to raise money for your charity.This one really works...
• Own a grocery or restaurant and want to sell Shakes frozen Pizza? Drop us a line.  We're pretty picky, just so you know...
