Original Pizza

What Original Pizza does

Original Pizza (legally Original Crispy Pizza Crust Of Boston Inc.) is a wholesale manufacturer and distributor of pizza and pasta ingredients, founded in 1956 and headquartered in Lincoln, Rhode Island. The company supplies food service operators with pizza dough (including All Natural, Multigrain, and Whole Wheat varieties), pre-portioned pizza balls, custom-blended cheese, meat and vegetable toppings, pasta ingredients, and a fresh-packed tomato product processed within six hours of harvest. It operates two modern warehouses totaling 75,000+ square feet and deploys a 30-truck delivery fleet serving Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, and adjacent regions. The product line is complemented by Original Pasta of Boston, a wholly-owned subsidiary brand supplying pasta ingredients to the same customer base.

The company sells exclusively to business customers through a quote-based wholesale model, with new accounts onboarded via DocuSign forms and reorders processed through the Victualnet online ordering platform requiring login credentials. Its go-to-market targets seven verticals: Colleges and Universities, Convenience Stores, Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities, Recreational Locations (airports, ski areas, theme parks), Restaurants and Pizza Chains, K-12 Schools, and Supermarkets. Beyond ingredient supply, Original Pizza provides Entrepreneurial Consulting covering sales forecasting, equipment planning, floor layout design, and training, and it offers OP License Opportunities for entrepreneurs to open branded food service locations — with existing licensed sites at Bradley International Airport and the Massachusetts Turnpike Food Court.

The business is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, or funding rounds, and is led by President Joe Anzaldi. There are no patents, public certifications, named customer logos, or disclosed financials in the available source data, and the technology footprint is limited to a traditional e-commerce ordering portal rather than any AI, API, or platform capabilities. Pricing is not publicly listed and customer relationships appear relationship-driven rather than transactional.
