The Molinaro's family has been in the pizza business for over 45 years. Gino Molinaro, a baker by trade, started working as a supervisor for Canadian Pizza Crust in 1964. He would eventually become a minority owner and by 1975, he would buy out the other major shareholders to takeover the struggling company. A year later, he turned the company around and by 1985, he started Canadian Pizza Crust UK in Manchester, England with the intention of supplying the European market with the same quality products.

In 1988, Gino sold Canadian Pizza Crust and focused his attention on the English bussiness and a small pasta operation that the family had started a few years earlier: Mama Molinaro's Pasta. In 1991, the Molinaro's family sold their very successful UK business only to find out a year later that Canadian Pizza Crust, now owned by Heinz, was looking for a buyer. Molinaro's bought the company back in 1993 and changed the name, quite fittingly, to Molinaro's. Subsequently, major capital investments were made including installing a state of the art bakery, relocating the pasta operations and upgrading the current topping line.

Our current facility is 106,000 square feet in size and includes a semi-automatic bakery that is both efficient and flexible enough to make 'hand made' products, such as calzones and pizza crust. We have recently installed a stone oven from Italy that has added a new and exciting line of pizzas and crusts to the compan's portfolio, as well as the pizza market as a whole. Moreover, we continue to produce frozen pastas and play on adding a second 'topping' line to increase our capacity for future growth.
