BETTER THAN A PIZZERIA... 

Whole Wheat “Margherita” Pita Pizza

Fresh Tomato Sauce, Basil and Local, Fresh Mozzarella 

LI-Grown Cauliflower with Garlic & Oil
Fresh Fruit 

We make these pizzas in our cafeteria. The pita is actually part whole wheat.  The ingredients are wheat flour [whole wheat flour and enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid)], water, soybean oil, less than 2% of yeast, salt, sugar, dough conditioner (distilled monoglycerides, calcium salts, guar gum, wheat starch, sodium metabisulfite, ascorbic acid), preservatives (calcium propionate, potassium sorbate), vinegar.

For our various pizzas, we use  the Red Pack vitamin enhanced tomato sauce. The sodium at 140mg is much lower than we previously used.  Here are the ingredients: Tomato Concentrate (Water, Tomato Paste), Sugar, Soybean Oil, Potassium Chloride, Onion Powder, Salt, Citric Acid, Spice, Garlic Powder, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Black Pepper, Vitamin E (DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate), Natural Flavor, Vitamin A (Retinol Palmitate).

Pizzas will have fresh mozzarella and basil.  The cauliflower is long island grown and cooked with garlic and oil.  The fruit is fresh.  The kids love this meal.  The fresh cauliflower is an added treat. 

The alternative entrees remain the same.  Pepper Jack quesadilla, peanut butter and jelly on whole went, and meatball hero.  Plenty of  fresh and yummy veggies at the salad bar. Encourage your children to take their sides from there.  The sandwich bar with boars head cold cuts is available daily.
