Are Pizza Mia's premade?

Question

My husband insists that Pizza Mia's from Pizza Hut come into the restaurants premade and frozen and that they are microwaved or something cheap like that.

Since he doesn't work there and doesn't have a source to cite, can anyone else who actually KNOWS tell me how they're made? Are they made in the restaurant or are they frozen pizzas?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

All of the dough at pizza hut is frozen now.  It used to be made by hand, but isn't allowed at the franchises anymore.  The dough is thawed out, and tossed.  Then topped with sauce and the ingredients in the store.  So they are not Pre-Made like you'd but at the store.  The dough is just in frozen state, and then turned into a Pizza Mia..

To answer the question on how they run out of pizzas???  Well the dough has to be "proofed" from the frozen state.  This can take about 2-12 hours depending on the method.  It is supposed to be taken out at night for the next day, and kept in the refrigerator to make the dough unfrozen.  If they didn't prep enough dough the night before, they may run out of workable dough, and don't have enough time to thaw some more.

Answer 2

No their not frozen. The dough is made fresh daily. The pizzas are made when you order them.

Answer 3

I agree with Angela H, thats the way its done!

Answer 4

My friend works at Pizza Hut and he makes the pizzas by hand...  i don't know about the Pizza Mia though.

Answer 5

I think so, because when I order some of their items sometimes they're sold out.  It's like how can a pizza place be sold out.  So they have to be premade.

Answer 6

yes they are

=]

Answer 7

Yes, I once had a friend who drove me away from Pizza hut because of this fact... He said everything was basically frozen and went into the oven...

Answer 8

Eeww. That pizza Mia is nasty, I tried it and spit it out. Disgusting. I'm not sure if it's frozen, but most likely it is.

Answer 9

How else would they only cost $5?

But it is silly to think that most pizzas are not pre-made to some degree.

Most of the ingredients are pre-chopped, meat is pre-cooked, sauce is pre-boiled. At best, they are just putting a bunch of pre-prepared ingredients on pizza dough and cooking it.

Answer 10

all I know is they are nasty as heck
