"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," says 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 Roman-style pizzas are handmade by chefs using traditional techniques and ingredients sourced from regions throughout Italy. Each pizza begins with 100% Italian flour from Le Marche, produced by a fourth-generation, family-run mill, and is made with 24-hour slow-fermented dough to create Porta's signature crust. Finished with vine-ripened tomatoes from Campania, extra-virgin olive oil from Puglia, and then toppings, every pizza is reportedly hand-stretched, assembled by hand, and flash-frozen at peak freshness to preserve its flavor and texture. Crafted with simple, recognizable ingredients and no dough conditioners, preservatives, or artificial additives, Porta aims to deliver a pizzeria-style experience of Italian pizza that can be prepared at home in minutes.

Four Porta varieties are now available for a suggested retail price of $11.99 at participating Target stores nationwide and on Target.com:

• Pepperoni - Naturally cured pepperoni dusted with fragrant fennel, mozzarella, and tomato sauce.
• Margherita - Creamy Fior di Latte mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil.
• Mushroom & Fontina - Hand-sliced mushrooms, Fontina cheese, and truffle béchamel made with real Italian truffles.
• Sweet & Spicy Soppressata - Authentic Italian salami, creamy mozzarella, vibrant tomato sauce, and a drizzle of housemade peperoncini honey sauce.

"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," says 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."

Mammoliti, the child of Italian immigrants, founded Porta to bring an authentic taste of Italy to more tables through premium, convenient, and chef-made meals. The Target launch advances that vision while marking a significant new chapter in Porta's continued U.S. growth, the brand says.
