Totino's - Frozen Pizza

Totino's was founded in 1951 by Rose and Jim Totino in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Originally starting as a small family-run pizzeria, the Totinos quickly gained popularity for their delicious pizzas. In 1962, they expanded into the frozen pizza market, becoming one of the first to offer frozen pizzas to consumers. Their innovative approach to pizza production and distribution allowed them to grow rapidly. By the 1970s, Totino's had become a household name, known for its unique Pizza Rolls, which were introduced as a convenient snack option. Over the years, the brand has evolved, expanding its product line to include Party Pizza and other snack varieties. In 1975, Totino's was acquired by Pillsbury, which later became part of General Mills. This acquisition allowed Totino's to expand its manufacturing capabilities and distribution network, making it a staple in grocery stores and warehouse clubs nationwide. Despite its growth, Totino's has maintained its commitment to providing affordable and tasty pizza options, making it a beloved brand for generations.
