Old world tradition, with new world convenience.
Our famous dough began long ago in a small pizzeria. In 1982, founders Jim LaRosa and Mike Franchi set out to freeze that same authentic dough while keeping the taste and quality everyone loved.
Made to order, the same way for over 30 years.
With decades of experience, a proven process and state-of-the-art manufacturing, we keep sharing our original Italian-style dough, and our commitment to old world tradition with new world convenience.
Authenticity and eye appeal
Mama LaRosa dough balls have a truly authentic flavor, founded on excellent ingredients, in a variety of styles: Italian White, Hi-Gluten, Tuscan, Focaccia, MultiGrain and Neapolitan, plus par-baked Italian and herb garlic breadsticks. They aren't all perfectly uniform, which gives the finished product a made-in-house look. Every order is made to order, so more of the shelf life is spent in your kitchen.
Packaging built for the kitchen
Dough balls 10 oz and larger are individually wrapped in a proprietary sealed, breathable bag before they're cased, for the perfect proof and optimum development after baking. Sizes 9 oz and below come in a convenient bulk pack, ready for trays and thawing.
Saves time and labor
Making dough takes time, labor and equipment, and consistency is hard to hold. Our dough balls are ready to thaw and use, freeing up your staff and your storage.
Inspected by the American Institute of Baking
Mama LaRosa is inspected by the American Institute of Baking and consistently earns the highest inspection ratings, so our facility meets the food safety standards today's global market demands.
Sustainable CO2 freezing
In 2018 we added a custom, one-of-a-kind CO2 spiral freezing system. It freezes every ball with excellent consistency, and CO2's effect on the climate is 1,500 to 4,000 times lower than traditional synthetic refrigerants.
