58 Base Pizza, Pizza Bases & Pizza Sauces

Good, proper Italian pizza takes time to create. So it’s reassuring to know that someone is going to the time and trouble to do just that, so that consumers can enjoy the real thing at home, from their very own ovens. 58 Base was born out of a sense of frustration that the owners couldn’t find the kind of pizza they’d always enjoyed eating. They made a decision to create a pizza base that was free from additives and preservatives that had flavour, substance and texture.

Today, 58 Base pizza bases and sauces are found in gourmet and speciality food stores throughout New Zealand. The company refuses to deviate from their roots and core values of quality, simplicity and flavour. They handcraft their product in small batches utilising only the best ingredients, adopting the principles of the slow food movement.

Every pizza base is hand cut and stretched in the traditional Sicilian way. And to keep the dough moist, extra virgin olive oil is used instead of flour. Each pizza base is triple-risen and hand stretched to increase the flavour and soften the gluten. The flavour of the base is defined by the quality and simplicity of the ingredients, and the long, cool fermentation process.

The bases are par-baked in a stone-soled oven in small batches to give them the crisp, light flavour that can only be gained by cooking on stone.

58 Base has also developed 58’s Perfect Pizza Sauce, a traditional tomato sauce made in small batches that offers rich, full flavour.

Gourmet Pizza Pack

Two chilled, par-baked pizza bases per pack. When you need a gourmet pizza, simply pull the bases out of the fridge or freezer, add the toppings of your choice and cook in a hot oven for just 5 minutes. Delicious enough to be eaten with the lightest brush of EVOO and a sprinkling of sea salt. Serve with soup instead of croutons or crusty bread. Or create an authentic Sicilian pizza with olives, salami, cheese and other tasty toppings.

Margherita Topped Pizza Base

A 58 pizza base spread with their very own sauce and topped with mozzarella slices, freshly grated parmesan cheese and a light sprinkling of dried oregano. The aromas wafting from the oven will be irresistible.

Calabrese Topped Pizza Base

A 58 pizza base pre-topped with 58 Base sauce, mozzarella, Italian spicy calabrese salami, freshly grated parmesan cheese and a light sprinkling of wild oregano. Super tasty and ready to take home to bake at your convenience.

58’s Perfect Pizza Sauce

In every 250g glass jar there is enough sauce to cover 2 to 3 pizza bases. Simply brush over a 58 pizza base, sprinkle with fresh mozzarella, add basil leaves and you will have a stunning pizza in m ere minutes. If desired, the sauce can be thinned with red wine or stock and stirred through hot pasta. Or, use to enliven Bolognese sauce and casseroles.

Offer your customers true Italian flavour from 58 Base. Home cooks will love having them on hand in the fridge or freezer to pull out at a moment’s notice for ‘pizza night’, quick meals for unexpected guests or even for entertaining.
