Ready-made pizza dough ?

[LotusRapper]

We buy frozen pizza dough balls from the freezer case at Famous Foods. But sometimes I'd like to pick up a fresh un-frozen ball to make pizza when spontaneity hits. Any place within CoV city limits that sell them ?

Use to make ours at home but Fratelli's is so good that we just go with theirs now:http://fratellibakery.com/home

Lots of pizza places are happy to sell dough. Have you tried asking any?

I've been experiencing..making the dough is pretty easy..I think fresh yeast is important, and so is a long slow rise in the fridge. The harder part for me is stretching it out.

European Delicatessen on Davie has white, whole wheat, and sourdough pizza dough, refrigerated, not frozen, IIRC.

Try calling Gourmet Warehouse. I know they have it frozen, perhaps they also sell it fresh?

Duso's on Granville Island carries it.

I used to buy some from Calabria Bakery on Victoria Drive.

still available; best to call ahead.

Calabria on Commercial has it..haven't tried it though.. Worth it? I'm interested in the best dough available so keep em coming.

Just bought some Calabria brand at Ugo and Joes. Got home and read there is vegetable oil shortening in it, which is translation for hydrogenated oil/trans fat..I'll be returning it.

i realize you are looking for "fresh" - but the one frozen one i've had good luck w/ (summer party, make pizzas with chefs of all ages etc) is from Armstrong BC

i found it in the IGA Marketplace

Good to know, GS. Again, like Whole Foods suggested by GeekMom above, I never bothered to ask. I tend to not bother much with IGA's freezer cases hence I prolly easily missed KTB's dough, so thanks for providing an extra (and nearby) source for me.

But yeah, I'm looking for unfrozen-in-bag dough ready for rolling & baking. New Town Bakery up the street here (Cambie) used to have them, $2/bag. Owner lady says she no longer prepares them, as hardly anyone bought it.

Have you tried Whole Foods?

[LotusRapper]

No, never even occurred to me ......
