Our Secret Sauce?
Great People.
For more than 40 years, one thing has never changed: at Bernatello’s, we put people first.
What started as a small, family-owned brick facility based in Norwood Young America, Minnesota, in 1982 is now one of the top producing frozen pizza companies in the country.
Growth like this doesn’t happen without hard work, a sense of humbleness, and care for the community. We’ve spent nearly half a century perfecting our products, but more importantly, we cultivated a culture that embraces individuality and welcomes everyone as they are.
