\"Orv's<\/a>Orv’s Pizza was originally from Kaukauna, WI, and may still be produced there, but it’s now under the ownership of Minneapolis pizza company\u00a0Bernatellos<\/a>, that also makes and sells\u00a0\u00a0Roma<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Brew Pub<\/a>\u00a0 brands.<\/p>\n

I wonder if Kaukauna Cheese<\/a> is still made in Kaukauna? \u00a0 Hold on. \u00a0OK, seems like its still made nearby, but now owned by a cheese brand collecting company<\/a> from Chicago. \u00a0(BTW, cheese company, I see you also hold Merkt’s, which I prefer, especially for burgers).<\/p>\n

Wow, talk about careening wildly off track!<\/p>\n

This Orv’s “Tasty Toppings” \u00a0Sausage & Pepperoni Think Crust weighs in at a hair over one pound, and they were on sale today at 2 $8.00. \u00a0That’s about the right price-point for the weight. \u00a0 I’m having a hard time seeing any quantity of\u00a0\u00a0sausage, and they may have missed a few spots with the “Real Cheese,” (as is noted on the front of the package).<\/p>\n

BTW, before I tell you what I thought of the experience, I give the company props for the ‘real’ ingredients. \u00a0 Sausage is pork and seasonings, pepperoni is pork, beef, and seasonings, and tomato sauce is just….tomato sauce. \u00a0So they got that going for them.<\/p>\n

The pepperoni slice was paper thin. \u00a0Say have you seen Jack Link’s is making thick “crinkle cut” pepperoni<\/a>? \u00a0Ain’t that interesting? \u00a0Saw it at that store that John Boy and Mary Ellen started….you know, the Waltons? \u00a0Right.<\/p>\n

So how is Orv’s pizza? \u00a0The thin crust is crispy, the tomato sauces leans towards being more sweet than savory and I think they shouldn’t be so stingy with the cheese. \u00a0 I’d say this pizza belongs at the top end of the budget lines like Totino’s, Jeno’s, and no-name brands, but even at this sale price, is pretty spendy for that category. \u00a0 I tried<\/a> the parent company’s premium pie,\u00a0Bellatoria Ultra Thin Sausage Italia, about six months ago, and it was pretty ok.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
