i want to order a case of school (rectangle) pizza. i know it still exists and i <3 it mucho. i've searched and all of the leads turn up to be dead ends. anybody know?

7/24/2007 10:21:39 AM

that should be pretty much it

at the time, that shit was good as hell.

7/24/2007 10:23:23 AM

^^no, i've tried it. that just happens to be rectangular. it is not the same as school pizza. school pizza has cubed pepperoni on it (and a different flavor).

some of the microwave pizza at food lion is pretty similar

7/24/2007 10:25:21 AM

oh, well that's what we had in nj. tasted like a soapy version of ellio's.

never had cubed toppings though, that sounds nasty.

7/24/2007 10:25:51 AM

i had the cubed toppings

it was money delicious at the time, but if i ate it now i'd probably blow chunder

7/24/2007 10:27:17 AM

they serve it up at the NCSU forestry summer camp thing. i had some a couple of years ago when Fumbler was in the program. it was still good to meeeeeee

holy fuck someone found it

there aren't any prices

7/24/2007 10:41:04 AM

i've seriously thought about going to my old highschool to ask them this

[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 10:44 AM. Reason : always wanted to make a thread but figured i was the only one that liked it]

7/24/2007 10:42:12 AM

^^I'm sure you could call and ask about prices and quantities.

7/24/2007 10:44:25 AM

i'm really going to order some, but i need to find out how much it costs first. i want both pepperoni and sausage pizzas but i don't think i have the money or room for 192 pizzas.

i've already emailed about prices.

7/24/2007 10:49:41 AM

^^what's that? never heard of it.

we had a hexagon shaped "mexican pizza" that had cheddar cheese and hamburger and something else on it. i'd love to get that too.

7/24/2007 10:59:50 AM

yeah, thats the fiestada. its on that schwans site too in cases on 96.

let me know if you get an order together

7/24/2007 11:02:26 AM

call Paula Wulff @ 919-856-8093

she handles the bidding for pizza contracts for WCPSS food service

she knows

7/24/2007 11:05:27 AM

if i could back alley a case of fiestada from paula at Athens Drive HS I would be totally down.

7/24/2007 11:06:45 AM

i seems to recall some sort of hexagonal mexican pizza from when i lived in NM

it ruled

[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 11:09 AM. Reason : well damn apparently i'm not the only one ]

7/24/2007 11:09:13 AM

This is hilarious.

7/24/2007 11:11:14 AM

7/24/2007 11:11:28 AM

anyone want to go in on an order of this? to try it out?

7/24/2007 11:11:31 AM

eww

7/24/2007 11:11:34 AM

rectangular pizza slice with ranch..mmmm.. yea i would probably throw up now if i ate one.

7/24/2007 11:11:44 AM

yeah PM that feedrofdapak guy

[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 11:12 AM. Reason : gg]

7/24/2007 11:12:13 AM

hmm...the nardone stuff looks more like the school pizza i had, but i seem to recall my grandmother insisting it was Tony's (she worked in the nash-rocky mount school food office up until i was in 5th grade). i'll double check w/ her.

i'm not seeing where i could order on that schwan's site. it looks like it's just for schools (or go to a distribution warehouse place).

7/24/2007 11:13:24 AM

jackleg don't knock the fiestada till you get one of those tasty geometrical wonders in your mouth. Gah what i would give to be able to go to my high school and eat lunch without getting locked up terrorist style

7/24/2007 11:13:45 AM

i tell you whats good

those red baron personal pizzas, they're actually (as said on the box somewhere) distributed by that schwans place. 2 pizzas in a box. decent light meal. usually 2 (boxes) for 5 bucks.

they have the supernuker metal looking cardboard that you can flip around and nuke it in 2.5 minutes and it seems like its from the oven (takes 25 min)

ive had it both ways and it seems the same

i try to keep a couple boxes on hand all the time if i want a 2 minute decent meal on the quick, yo

7/24/2007 11:15:45 AM

yeah, the consumer (us) items for sale are their redbaron, tombstone, tony's stuff.

we had a tony's cart at school that had the single pizzas in boxes, but it was the big huge pans that we want. I would say you'd have to get in good with the distributor or make a pretty large purchase. Like I said, i'll take a case of fiestada. Friday pizza days were the best.

7/24/2007 11:16:15 AM

that hexagon shaped pizza looks gross.

Quote :

"they started serving it at clark last year I think"

I must have missed that. They have those round personal pan 4 sliced, thats the only pizza I know of there.
I'm sure if I tried one of these pizzas now, I'd find it to be disgusting. But then again, kids will eat anything. That's why they serve it at schools.

7/24/2007 11:16:34 AM

man

i'd eat a whole rectangular pan of square school pizza


BENVENUE ELEMENTARY WHAT WHAT

WE GANGSTA BY THE FUNNEL BALL

7/24/2007 11:16:41 AM

and schwans... at least back when i was in HS. SOMEHOW you could have the schwans dude drop by like 2x a month with frozen shit. my friends parents kept a freezer in their garage, and the schwans guy used to come by occasionally and fill it up with stuff like that (actually pizzas similar to what i mentioned before)

so they have/had a home delivery service too

7/24/2007 11:17:29 AM

fiestada, why would you want mexican pizza thats not from taco bell

I seem to remember heidi929 ranting and raving about this one day.

7/24/2007 11:18:46 AM

im not sure how you'd cook real school pizza

those pans were monsterous

or i was just really small

7/24/2007 11:18:47 AM

I'm so craving hs pizza now

7/24/2007 11:20:05 AM

Quote :

"those pans were monsterous or i was just really small"

they probably just had 20 microwaves in a row

EVERYONE READY..... GO

DING... toss 20 slices on a tray and run it out

7/24/2007 11:21:04 AM

^^^i was curious about that as well...something tells me i wouldnt be able to cook it the same

you'd need a subway style bread oven to do it

[Edited on July 24, 2007 at 11:22 AM. Reason : .]

7/24/2007 11:21:38 AM

yeah, I used to really like those rectangular pizzas too, but I didn't like the sausage ones as much, but those were the ones they seemed to always serve.

Whenever they had pepperoni though, it was money I tell you. Money.

yeah they still do. I see the guy every couple weeks now that i am back living with my parents. My friend down the street used to use them and they'd always be stocked with icecream sammichs and shit like that.


what's that premium steak company that does the similar deal?

7/24/2007 11:23:44 AM

i always loved how you could peel off the entire top of cheese and eat it seperate if you wanted

7/24/2007 11:24:24 AM

i think they cooked a tray just long enough to warm it up a little in the oven. i guess at home you would have to cook as many as you could fit in your oven, or put it in the microwave. man i want some for lunch so bad.

so what's the general consensus as far as north carolina school pizzas?

nardone or tony's (schwans) ?

7/24/2007 11:24:52 AM

srsly, I hate this thread... because now I want this pizza And I can't have any...

7/24/2007 11:26:15 AM

dude

i'd pull the cheese off and eat it

then pull the "sauce" off with a fork and eat it

then roll up the botton like a fruit roll up and eat it


also i'd make crop lines in mashed potates and still do

7/24/2007 11:28:16 AM

haha i knew a few that did that....i would rarely pull off the cheese and eat it, but every now and then it was nice to change it up...if i did the fruit roll up thing i left the sauce though

7/24/2007 11:30:08 AM

the nardone rect. pizzas look more like what I had through my years in grade school, but they dont have fiestadas listed so I'm not real sure. and those schwan fiestadas look exactly like they used to.

its probably a toss up
