Quote HistoryQuoted: Here's a link to the recipe. https://imgur.com/gallery/J5MxAuj I would think one these would be so much easier and probably much better tasting. I used to use both packages of dough mix to make one pizza in a cast iron skillet. It had a thick soft crust, more like a pan pizza. I loved the yeasty flavor of the crust.

Damn good high school memories.
Next to halter tops, tube tops, jeans so tight you could read the label on her underwear, beer, and weed that didn't turn you into a zombie. |

That's probably still a thing in school cafeterias. My university dining hall had it, I graduated 2010. I really, really liked it. There was a brand of frozen pizza that tasted very similar called Sasquatch (it was also enormous and cost like $5), but they have been gone for a long time now.

I went to grade school in Illinois. The cafeteria had a pizza with holes on the underside of the crust. I remember this distinctly. I was in 1st grade. They also used to give out cheese slices to the poor kids that didn’t have lunch tickets. That cheese was good. Probably from the government.

For some reason the hamburgers that they made were good as well.
I used to dip them in a ranch catsup mix, and they were pretty darned good. Now both the pizza and burgers would be nasty. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For some reason the hamburgers that they made were good as well. I used to dip them in a ranch catsup mix, and they were pretty darned good. Now both the pizza and burgers would be nasty. That’s because they started reducing the fat content. The USDA of the 70s and early 80s was all about getting nutrition fortified calories into kids. Iron to prevent anemia, calcium for strong bones, and fat, glorious fat, for energy. They had just started hard lining the food pyramid. The pizza was simply a pourable yeast dough fortified with dried milk and par baked on a piece of parchment paper. Most copycat recipes have too much crust. The sauce was tomato spiced with “typical” Italian spices, then mixed with browned ground beef and “ground luncheon meat” (you can decide on this one. I think in my cafeteria it was bologna), and onion. The meat is a 2-1 ratio. Meat is another area where the copy cat recipes use too much. The cheese was shredded low moisture mozzarella. (Government cheddar blended in came later). I always thought of school pizza as a cheese delivery device. Cook it until the top browns. Then let it stand in a warmer for a bit. The burgers, like the grilled cheese of the day had a lot of butter involved. They weren’t afraid of salt either. |

I got suspended over school pizza. I was in the fourth grade at the time. Friday was pizza day. I decided to buy two lunch tickets in the cafeteria that morning. Lunch rolls around and I ask for my two lunches. Same ol' bat that sold me the tickets, refused to give me another pizza lunch. Initially she said not everyone would get a piece if she gave me two, but I was one of the last people in the line. There was plenty left. They were just gong to dry to shit out of it by reheating it, and try serve it up on Monday. I pointed that out, and she offered to sell me a slice for another dollar. The tickets themselves were 75 cents. I didn't like the idea. She gives me a peanut butter sandwich that they usually give to the kids that lost their lunch ticket, or aren't even on free lunch, for the other ticket. I hucked the sandwich at her head and went to eat my pizza. Right when I sit down, Miss Shefsky yokes me up by my arm. That bitch was cafeteria monitor for the day.
It sucked that I didn't even get to eat one of the lunches. However, I got to stay at home for a week. |

We got it every friday, with chocolate cake, pears, and a "salad". The salad was just lettuce with some shredded carrots and radishes. |

I ran this one to ground a long time ago.
I too have searched for those amazing things. They do not exist any more. They were first made to a USDA recipe. Then, jobbers started making and selling them to schools and other places like jails. Then, michelle obama came and said that this is how school lunches has to be, and they substituted a wheat crust, and textured vegetable proteins for the meat, and I don't know what happened to the cheese. Doesn't even look the same. If you cannot tilt the slice and watch orangey yellow grease run off of it in rivulets, you are not eating the nectar from my late 70's childhood. Here is the actual recipe:  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File(concludes next post - I ran out of jpg data limits) |

My absolute favorite were the hot dogs with cheese, wrapped in a slice of bread and toasted in the oven until the tips of the bread were crispy. I could eat those all day long.

Apparently if it's good enough for prison inmates, it was good enough for us. We always thought it was good, but looking back it was just another form of government mandated slop.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It changed?  Our pizza looked like that for my entire school career, I graduated in 2013  Flavors were Pepperoni, cheese, and sausage. IIRC I think there was a breakfast pizza as well. Hold up. You had different flavors? All i remember is cheese in the 90s. Dipping in ranch was common. |

It's always been a thing here, even outside of school. Sheet pizza/Sicilian style pizza has always been pretty popular around these parts. If you're at any sort of gathering with more than 5 people, and the host doesn't like cooking, chances are there will be sheet pizzas on a table or counter top somewhere.
If it's a kid's birthday, the chances go up to 100%. |
