For years, food technologists have worked to develop a shelf-stable pizza. The problem has been the different components working against one another to keep everything feeling and tasting fresh.
But now, Bridgford Ready to Eat sandwiches offers a shelf stable Pepperoni Pizza.

MRE pizza…sounds about as appetizing as truck stop sushi.
MRE pittza…meal refused by Everybody
I wonder how it’s going to taste…still better than the bean and rice burrito I’m sure.
It will be the most sought after Menu # for sure… MRE comfort food… bring it on… the other 36 menus… yes there is room for pizza..
I’d hit it.

Full disclosure, it looks pretty good. Looks like the lunchables pizzas I ate as a kid.
I ate some of those on the road the other day- ah the bachelor single dad life…
makes me think of the quote “you ate a lunchable for dinner last night, you’re a man-child!”…
From a business perspective, it’s “shovel-ready.” The crust is already taken care of, since they have at least a 5000 year supply of shelf-stable MRE bread, some reddish sauce scraped off the bottom of the rusting chili mac cooker behind the MRE factory, leftover filling from the cheese tortellini, and we are almost there.
Where to get the pepperoni? Hmm…screw it, just use some of the “Lemon Pepper Tuna,” only folks who will notice are those skinny weirdos that eat everything in a MRE, anyway. You know the ones, every platoon is issued at least one skinny weirdo, the guy with the Iron Maiden-skull tattoo, always comes from Ohio, bug-eyes, shaved head, lumpy skull, y’all know that guy, right?
It’s a plan. Pizza MREs, coming right up!
The food technologists have gone too far this time.
Reminds me of cafeteria pizza. I love this line: “MRE Pizza is an unprecedented achievement — the moonshot of food technology.”
That we went to the moon and it took this long for pizza to make it into an MRE….
Shelf life 80° F or less = 3 years. 100° F = 6 months…well I’m sure I’d eat it long before 6 months, hurricane season and all…
/b or gtfo.
The phrase “shelf stable” kind of reduces its appeal……
Although I can picture grenade sumps being used as field expedient pizza ovens….
Anyone else wish they’d drop all this fast food BS, and go back to stuff like pemmican and hardtack…? I mean, seriously: You can’t put a friggin’ decent pizza into a pouch, so why bother trying? Gimme that old-school stuff, dried fruit, pemmican, jerky, and some hardtack.
I honestly can’t remember a single MRE meal that was appetizing or really tasty; it’s all just fuel for the mission, and I think I’d prefer they just… Stopped. Hell, half the damn time I was eating in the field, it was grabbing some trail mix, jerky, or fresh fruit I dragged out with us. The MRE was there for the accessories pouch.
I’m pretty ambivalent about the whole “space burrito” idea. Some things just ain’t meant to be retort-pouchable, and remain palatable.
But, we have all this shelf-stable bread we got back cuz no one ate it , and we can sell it to DoD…for a second time!
I lived on protein bars and trail mix on my last (2011) deployment,
I tried to make a Camelbak Linchpin work as a 3 day pack. My priority was water, batteries, and my CCP kit. It worked out pretty good. I could live on one portion bar a day, usually half at breakfast and half for dinner and just stay hydrated.
That menu # better include a pouch of Slices, Pineapple.
True dat!
At the end of the day, you’re gonna eat whatever you can get out of the box because you’re so hungry. My rule for MREs is that if it needs to heated to be palatable, it’s not worth eating.
