The artistry unfolds...
The artistry unfolds from a family recipe…
Nonno Joseph Salamone, a native of Northern Italy was a culinary artist – who recognized the importance of starting with a phenomenally flavorful and high-quality slate. We credit him for the original Ultra Thin Pizza Shell recipe he created for his most discerning audience—his family and friends. For years, he and his family were the only ones who enjoyed his Ultra Thin Pizza Shells. In 1996, the culinary world was invited into the fold. Nonno Salamone’s inspired his grandson Doug Bronsky, along with business partner Cherise Kramer, to found a food company based on the same family principles. Initially the company became known as The Ultra Thin Ready to Bake Pizza Shells Company, located in Long Island, New York. It eventually expanded to become the Ultra Thin Pizza Shells & Flatbreads Company that we know today.
