Pizza is arguably one of the most popular foods in schools. Today, school foodservice professionals work hard to make meals more healthy and delicious and less processed than most students’ parents remember their food being. Forest Lake Area Schools, located in Forest Lake, Minn., has taken it a step further by combining pizza with another crowd favorite: grilled cheese. FLBS food service director Paige Albrecht invited her local Cambro sales rep, Alex Gaustad, to help make their Pizza Grilled Cheese one day and even shared the recipe so that your school can make it too!
