Award Winning Original San Francisco Corn meal Crust Pizza
Finally, an alternative to mass-produced frozen pizza!
We’d like to introduce you to a new concept in store-bought pizza. An innovative product both in quality and versatility: Vicolo Original San Francisco Corn Meal Crust Pizzas. For these artisan handmade pizzas, we combine our signature original Corn Meal Crust with the finest cheeses and freshest vegetables. Vicolo Pizza can be served freshly baked or cooked from frozen. We thank you for sharing our passion for wholesome food as well as our pizzas.
Why Corn Meal?
Inspired by centuries old Italian cooking traditions, our crust combines unbleached wheat flour, freshly ground non-GMO corn meal, and organic soybean oil to create a distinctively rich taste and texture.
Our Story
VICOLO (Veek.oh.lo), from the Italian for “little alley” was named for our original location in San Francisco. Out of that little alley, we’ve earned our reputation for rustic, handmade, corn meal crust pizzas topped with freshly prepared seasonal ingredients.

+ How do I cook my pizza?
IN THE OVEN:
Remove the plastic and the cardboard circle, place the pizza directly on the oven rack or on a sheet pan in a preheated oven at 425˚F. Cook for around 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Since every oven is different, if this is your first time cooking a Vicolo pizza, we reccomend keeping an eye on it just to make sure that it's cooking to your desired level of crispiness.
FROM FROZEN: (oven only) Add 2-3 minutes to the usual cook time.
Can I cook my pizza on the grill?
Yes! You can cook your refrigerated or thawed pizza on the grill. (If it is frozen, please thaw overnight in the refrigerator first).
A great option for a summer BBQ. You can throw your favorite pizza on the grill, over indirect heat, put the top down, and cook until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Can I cook my pizza in the microwave?
No. We Do NOT reccomend cooking any of our pizzas in the microwave. For best results, please cook our pizzas in the oven or on the grill.
