I'm not sure if the whole country had this pan pizza on Fridays at school, but it was ever present in Chicagoland. I saw a recipe for this floating around the internet and I thought I'd give it a shot. I altered it slightly to make it easier to make at home, but essentially it's very similar. There are a few things you absolutely need to make this in the nostalgic fashion your grew up with: aluminum baking sheet, whole milk powder, and quick rise yeast. Optionally, grab this 6 pack of school lunch trays so you can add applesauce, canned green beans, tater tots, or that little milk carton!
You can make this recipe as is, or you can add some of our Hot Giardiniera Relish for zip or our Perfect Pizza Seasoning for a familiar Chicago taste.

Hey everyone, sorry about the earlier design of the recipe without measurements, egg on my face. I have updated it
I printed your school Friday lunch pizza recipe, which I fun to read and nostalgic, but I can’t prepare it without measurements for the ingredients. I am a big fan of your meatballs recipe and roast beef recipe.
For the school lunch pizza, there isn’t a list of ingredients and not a list of amounts, can you please email that to me? plumgolf@gmail.com.
