Totino's is a popular brand of frozen pizza products owned by General Mills. The brand was established in 1951 by Rose and Jim Totino in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Totino's is best known for its Pizza Rolls, a type of bite-sized pizza snack, and its Party Pizza, a type of frozen pizza.

History[edit | edit source]

Rose Totino and her husband Jim Totino founded Totino's Italian Kitchen in 1951. The restaurant quickly gained popularity for its delicious and affordable pizza. In 1962, the Totinos decided to expand their business by creating frozen pizzas, making Totino's the first company to introduce frozen pizzas in the United States.

In 1975, Totino's was acquired by Pillsbury, which later became a part of General Mills in 2001. Under the new ownership, Totino's continued to innovate and expand its product line. In 1985, Totino's introduced Pizza Rolls, which quickly became a popular snack among consumers.

  • Pizza Rolls: Bite-sized snacks filled with pizza ingredients like cheese, pepperoni, and sauce. They are designed to be easily heated in a microwave or oven.
  • Party Pizza: A type of frozen pizza that is known for its crispy crust and variety of toppings. It is available in several flavors, including pepperoni, cheese, and combination.
  • Pizza Stuffers: Introduced in 2011, these are larger versions of the Pizza Rolls, designed to be a more filling snack or a small meal.

Reception[edit | edit source]
