I had been thinking about making this and yesterday was the day I decided to do it.

Earlier in the day I browned some seasoned ground beef and uncased Italian sausage. Then as it got later toward dinnertime I made the dough for the crust and spread that in the pans. Yes, pans. I made two half sheet pans of this.





Added the homemade pizza sauce and the toppings.


This one is the Italian sausage and pepperoni before baking.





Here it is after it was baked.





This is the ground beef one. This is the one that we usually had that I remember most from elementary and high school





They came out pretty darn good and I'll probably make these more often.

School lunch pizzas were one of the best things they served back in the 1960s. Eventually the nutrition requirements for school lunch programs were changed by the USDA and those tasty little rectangular pizzas would not meet all of the requirements so they could no longer use them as an easy meal to prepare. It was a sad thing for pizza hungry kids who were no longer able to complain about having to eat something they really liked.

What is your pizza crust recipe?

Sauce?

Pizza day was my favorite meal day in the cafeteria. Seems like the crust was more of a crunchy biscuit type dough. The ground meat was chunky and good.

Events at school where we are offered cafeteria pizza for lunch is pretty common. Today's excuse for pizza is a disgusting greasy mess. I have tried a few times, I just don't eat anymore. What a shame

It was a sad day midway through my junior year (01/02) when they pivoted away from the square pizza to slices brought in from pizza hut.
