Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Original OvenWorks Pizza is still as high quality of a product as it was back in the late 80s when James “Jimmy Boy” Edming started the company. Switching owners in 2006, the business is now in the hands of its president, Alan Lee, and his wife Wendy Wells, who also serves as vice-president.

Based in Glen Flora, the factory is a USDA facility “where each pizza is handcrafted by the dedicated team,” said Wells. Eau Claire also hosts a distribution center and corporate offi ce for the business, which employs 8-10 employees between the two cities. The company has a full-time staff, along with several family members who also help out, but “the full-time staff is really the backbone of OvenWorks Pizza,” says Lee. “Our dedicated teams of employees who work from our Glen Flora and Eau Claire locations are the key to making everything run smoothly.” Read more……

OvenWorks Pizza is proud to be celebrating 25 years of making the best premium frozen pizza in Wisconsin. Using only the finest Wisconsin cheeses, we continue to hand-craft our pizzas from our original location in Glen Flora, WI with our dedicated team of pizza makers. Over the last 25 years, OvenWorks Pizza has continued to maintain its highest standard of using the freshest and highest quality ingredients available.

Our commitment to high quality is proven by our ability to proudly carry the Wisconsin Cheese symbol on all our products. Because after all, where it comes from matters! Wisconsin Cheese Out do Ordinary®

In the realm of food production, the “eat local” movement has reminded us that local foods can be the highest quality foods. Amid the countless varieties of cookie-cutter pizzas that line the frozen food sections of our grocery and convenience store coolers, OvenWorks Pizza stands as the perfect embodiment of this principle.

Started over 20 years ago by a Wisconsin couple, OvenWorks continues to excel and expand its market share in an economic age often defined by business failings and belt tightening.

How does OvenWorks even compete with, let alone outshine other brands backed by the deep-pockets of much larger corporate entities? What is it that makes this pizza so extraordinary? Say CHEESE! OvenWorks loads every pizza with five of the world’s most sought after cheeses, including Mozzarella, Romano, Parmesan, provolone and cheddar. And that’s just the beginning.“We put all that cheese on our special crust with our secret pizza sauce and spices,” says owner Alan Lee. “We then add in premium sausage, pepperoni and fresh toppings.” He speaks modestly, for every single pizza gets individual attention by the human hands that make them. Every ingredient is layered on individually. The result is a hand-crafted pizza that keeps the consumer coming back for more. Read more…
