PORTA is expanding its distribution across the US with the launch of its frozen Roman-style pizzas at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com, a move that brings the brand’s retail footprint to approximately 4,500 locations across North America.
The expansion marks another milestone for the frozen Italian pizza brand, which entered the US market in 2024 and has rapidly increased its presence in retail. The company said its growth has been driven by strong sales performance and its ability to attract new shoppers to the frozen food category, reflecting broader consumer demand for premium frozen meals made with recognizable ingredients and authentic culinary traditions.
The addition of PORTA also enhances Target’s premium frozen food assortment, as retailers continue to broaden their offerings of higher-quality convenience products.
“Growing up, dinner was never just another meal—it was how our family connected. When we started PORTA, our goal was simple: bring the same care, craftsmanship, and ingredients we use in our restaurants into people’s homes without asking them to compromise,” said Cosimo Mammoliti, Restaurateur and Founder of PORTA. “Seeing PORTA on Target shelves means more families can experience authentic Italian pizza any night of the week, and that’s something I’m incredibly proud of.”
PORTA’s pizzas are based on traditional Roman-style recipes and are handmade by chefs using ingredients sourced throughout Italy. Each pizza is prepared with 100% Italian flour from Le Marche, produced by a fourth-generation family-owned mill, and made with dough that undergoes a 24-hour slow fermentation process to create a light, airy crust. The pizzas are topped with vine-ripened tomatoes from Campania, extra virgin olive oil from Puglia and a selection of Italian-inspired ingredients before being hand-stretched, assembled and flash frozen to preserve freshness.
The company said its products are made without dough conditioners, preservatives or artificial additives, offering consumers a pizzeria-style experience that can be prepared at home within minutes.
Target shoppers can now purchase four varieties of PORTA pizzas with a suggested retail price of USD11.99: Pepperoni, Margherita, Mushroom & Fontina, and Sweet & Spicy Soppressata.
“PORTA is helping transform one of grocery’s most established categories by raising expectations for what frozen pizza can be and proving that convenience does not have to come at the expense of quality,” said Abby Haines, President of PORTA. “The brand has remained true to authentic Italian craftsmanship and a strong commitment to quality ingredients while making chef-made pizza accessible at home. As demand for premium frozen food continues to grow, we’re excited to continue elevating the consumer experience and help shape the future of the category.”
