Reheating Instructions

HEAT. EAT. CLOSE YOUR EYES.
YOU'RE IN CHICAGO.

This is the real thing — follow these steps and it bakes exactly as it does in River North.

CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA

Cook from frozen. Conventional oven only.
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Remove pizza from all packaging.
  3. Place on a solid (non-perforated) metal baking sheet and set on the middle rack.
  4. Bake for 50–60 minutes (ovens vary slightly).
  5. Remove from oven and let rest 10–15 minutes — this step matters. It allows the cheese and sauce to set properly.
  6. Slice. Serve. Eat while hot.

Important — Read Before Baking:

  • Cook one pizza at a time (ensures even heating).
  • Use a conventional oven only.
  • Do not use convection, toaster oven, microwave, pizza oven, or grill.
  • Always cook fully before eating.

CHICAGO CHEESECAKE

  • Best thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Can be frozen and thawed multiple times with minimal texture change.
  • Refrigerated shelf life: up to five days total.
  • Best served well chilled — straight from the refrigerator.
  • Pairs well with coffee, wine — or another slice of Rupiani’s®.

DEEP DISH PIZZA: QUICK FIXES

Every oven runs a little different — adjust as needed:

  • If your sauce is too watery, bake the pizza longer.
  • If the crust is browning too quickly, move to a higher shelf in the oven.
  • If the crust is not browned enough, move to a lower shelf in the oven.
