Method of packing pizza

The invention relates to a method for packaging a ready-to-eat pizza in rolled form.

5 Pizzas are traditionally packaged in their usual plate-like shape in a round or square, low cardboard box. Eating pizza from such a box in the field without cutlery And some kind of table or the like is tricky though. 10 It is particularly difficult to eat such a pizza in a moving vehicle, such as a car, because eating it easily causes dirt and grease stains.

WO-A-84/04081 describes a dough product in rolled form, a process for its preparation and an apparatus for carrying out the process. Such a dough product can be, for example, a pizza base. In this method, a rectangular dough sheet and a flexible film or film are placed on top of each other and wrapped together on a roll like a "wrapping cake". In this way, the pizza base 20 or the like is packaged in a very small space. This is a semi-finished product, in which the consumer, for example, when making pizza, unwinds the roll, removes the intermediate film, spreads the desired filling on the pizza base and bakes the pizza.

The pizza packaged by the method of the invention differs from this known product in that it is completely ready to eat, containing the desired pizza filling instead of a foil or film and, in addition, an edible packaging around the pizza.

The invention relates to a method for packing pizza. where the rectangular baked pizza (1) is wrapped in a roll (2) and the rolled pizza (2) thus obtained is placed in a tubular package (4).

Figure 3 shows the placing of pizza wrapped on a roll (2) in a tubular package (4).

Fig. 4 shows a wrapping iron (5) and Fig. 5 shows the same wrapping iron in which the halves (6a, 6b) of the wrapping iron are separated.

The pizza base is made as a rectangular plate, the desired filling is applied to it, and the pizza Pais-10 is made. After baking, the finished pizza is wrapped in a roll. The rolling can be performed in any suitable manner with appropriate aids. The finished rolled pizza is then placed in a tubular package. The tubular package is preferably pre-sealed at one end. The open end of the tube is closed in a suitable manner, e.g. with a lid or cap.

The pizza base is made from conventional ingredients, however, it must be noted that it must withstand mechanical handling when wrapped in a roll. Conventional pizza toppings can be used as a filling 20.

For wrapping and packing on a roll, e.g. whereby the halves are conveniently obtained by pulling apart.

The pizza is wrapped in a roll using a wrapping iron, holding both halves of the wrapping iron together. The wrapping iron then stays inside the pizza. One half of the wrapping iron is then pulled out from inside the pizza, and the other half of the wrapping iron still inside the pizza is inserted into the tubular package of the pizza on the roll. At this point, the other half of the wrapping iron is taken out of the inside of the pizza, and a suitable lid is placed at the end of the tube.

The rolled pizza according to the invention is convenient to enjoy directly from its tubular packaging, e.g. while sitting in a car. No table or cutlery required. Thanks to its tubular packaging, the pizza also does not stain its environment, as the fat and liquid contained in the pizza filling remain in the tubular packaging.
