Colors Gourmet Pizza Presents ...

Hand-made Pizza Crusts

Colors Gourmet Pizza' s Production Supervisor Jorge Carrizales proudly presents a sample of the high-quality, hand-made pizza crusts he and his team produce for Colors’ customers. Colors’ gourmet pizza crusts are hand pushed in pizza pans, then hand dimpled. The dimples assure that your toppings remain evenly distributed and trap the sauce. This gives each bite a different amount of sauce-to-crust ratio, and the result is a distinct taste profile. The dimples also assure the crusts retain the wonderful and unique texture of Colors Pizza Crusts. We par-bake our crusts in conveyor-type Impinger ovens. This process retains more moisture that results in a soft product that works well in any kind of oven. The crust can withstand a longer final bake time and is "forgiving" when baking times are not precise. We brush all our crusts (except the Stone Deck Crust) with a tomato-water solution, which adds a light red hue and speeds up the browning during the final baking, so you may present to your guests the perfect pizza that looks as superb as it tastes.

California Style Crust

Colors' California crusts Our most popular product, the California Style Crust has Colors’ distinctive hand-shaped raised edge that we pioneered and has become a hallmark in the industry.

The raised edge provides a guide for your chef when topping the pizza crust and gives a non-mass-produced look to your pizza. The fluffy bottom and raised edge also help in keeping the pizza hot in the room service or buffet environment.

Flatbread Style Crust

Flatbread Style Crust is made from the same dough and hand pushed in the same fashion as our California Style Crust, but without the raised edge. Instead, we provide a slightly thicker border, also as a guide, that allows the chef to prepare a slightly different version to match customer preferences. Because the edge is lower than on the California Style Crust, this product can also be used in a salamander or cheese-melter if no oven is available.

Ultrathin Flatbread Style Crust

This thinner version of our Flatbread Style Crust is also hand pushed and dimpled, but without a raised edge. This allows edge-to-edge toppings and works well with specialty ovens, such as TurboChef, and also with your grill, salamander or cheese-melter in poolside grills or deli environments. With its light texture, this crust works great for non-traditional pizza, allowing you to marry exotic toppings and flavors.

Stone Deck Crust

The Stone Deck Crust, our latest addition, was designed for wood burning or traditional deck ovens.
We par-bake this crust longer than our other crusts and at a lower temperature, which allows the final bake to be performed at high temperature without burning the pizza.

Note: Most of our pizza crust styles come in 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 inches. They can also be made with herbs and from whole wheat flour. For large production, if you are looking for something different, Colors welcomes the opportunity to work with you to develop unique specialty items to "wow" your customers.
