    PFG/Roma no longer authorized to sell Grande?

    I’m not surprised. I’ve been using grande for many years and have had noting but success with it. Last year my Roma rep started pushing bacio on me like it was the second coming. When I explained to him that I am happy with grande and give an order for at least ten cases a week he said to me...

    Mail Shark Experience

    I used the Grande cheese menu program and had a great experience. If you are a grande customer (I think you have to use 100% pizza cheese, no mixxing) call them and talk to thier marketing people. The prinrted a custom menu for us, mailed it and we had a great response.
