Use rectangular cooking sheets. Make pizza anyway you want, any dough recipe should work but if you want rectangular or square pizza use a cookie sheet with edges so it doesn't drip into your oven.

Shortening in the pizza dough? Interesting, im trying to remember if there is an oil added when i make dough.

??? There's more sugar in a can of coke than in 100 of these pizza slices.

I was poor growing up and we got food from the church one time aaaaand apparently the school district donated a bunch of the square pizza. We had it all summer at home. We were stoked.

I can't believe it's this many steps.

But what about the mini cubes of pepperoni??

[-]

atomicxblue@reddit

Serving side suggestions mentions buttered vegetables. Is that why they always served corn with it?

Great, now some hipsters are going to start making this and selling it for $30/slice and their place will be called 'LunchRoom'

I always remember folding the pizza in half and just watching the oil and grease just drain off of it.

Miami_Mice2087@reddit

you can find it in old books, but much older than this, like 1800s.

[-]

nhaines@reddit

It still is; it's just a rare variant spelling.

Miami_Mice2087@reddit

this was my favorite school meal, we got it with chocolate chip cookies, peaches in syrup, and no vegetable. that is SO MANY artificial carbs

[-]

skoomaking4lyfe@reddit

Damn. I am tempted, but I don't want to do all the math to scale that down from 100 servings to like, 4.

madsci@reddit

The US Department of Defense has a ton of recipes for serving large groups, too, all available online. I've always found that kind of institutional cooking to be weirdly fascinating.

shrimpcreole@reddit

I'm going to need the add-on recipe to make the mystery meat pepperoni nuggets for my institutional pizza.

ThrowawayOnABike@reddit

Some schools made their own pizza?? We just got reheated frozen garbage or Domino's back when they were shit-tier quality.

[-]

hobbes_shot_second@reddit

I don't think my oven can accommodate 100 servings.

[-]

HCJohnson@reddit

But if we combine all of our ovens ...

[-]

jettaset@reddit

I remember seeing these in the cafeteria. Really brings the memory back. I remember how those tables had hard seating, and how nervous I was.

[-]

They sell the frozen ones that we all had online. Can't remember the site but it's specifically 80s/90s school foods. Ours always had little square pepperoni. Only Breakfast had sausage if it was sausage. Definitely wasn't homemade. I wonder what year this was

[-]

jjmawaken@reddit

Ours had pepperoni, or there were fiestadas which were maybe a hexagon shape.

[-]

MLDaffy@reddit

Ours was always pepperoni too except for Breakfast which was Sausage. Little square peoperonis

CPTKickass@reddit

Pale_You_6610@reddit

I wanted these so bad. I envied those kids eating school lunch in the cafeteria and thought they were soooooo rich! Man I was hungry those l o n g school days, feeling cold, sleepy and those headaches!!!

Ok_Percentage5157@reddit

Wow. Whoever discovered this should feel like Indiana Jones right now.

[-]

TantorDaDestructor@reddit

Anyone else feel the need for immediate bowel release after reading and remembering this?

[-]

Wishpicker@reddit

Back when they actually cooked

[-]

AliveInIllinois@reddit

I think folks online get a little TOO excited at the memory of school lunch pizza.

[-]

AshDenver@reddit

The one and only time I’ve ever been on the radio was when I was in my early 20s and called about school lunches. They’d make the sheet pan pizza but then cantilever it (small corner tilted in) over a big trash can with actual trash under it to drain all the freaking grease. Like a quart of grease per sheet pan.

SirStocksAlott@reddit

Stirring the sauce mixture into the cheese? Huh.

[-]

OkBaconBurger@reddit

It does exist. My word….
