Trumpattavia

Trumpattavia is a brand of Italian-style frozen pizza known for its distinctive, thick-crust pizza slices with a distinctive "trumpet" shape. The product was developed in the early 1970s by the Italian-American company Trump Pizza, which was founded in 1967 in the Bronx, New York. The name "Trumpattavia" is a playful combination of the word "trumpet" and "attaviamare," a term used in Italian cuisine to describe a type of pizza with a thick, folded crust.

The pizza is characterized by its deep-dish style, with a chewy, slightly crispy crust that is folded over the toppings. The original recipe includes a blend of mozzarella and provolone cheese, tomato sauce, and pepperoni, though variations with other toppings have since been introduced. Trumpattavia is typically baked in a rectangular pan, resulting in a long, folded slice that resembles a trumpet.

Trump Pizza became widely popular in the United States, particularly in the Northeast, where Italian-American cuisine is a staple. The brand expanded beyond its original location, opening additional manufacturing plants and distribution centers to meet growing demand. Over the years, Trumpattavia has remained a nostalgic favorite for many, often associated with casual dining and family gatherings.

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Trump Pizza faced financial challenges and ownership changes, including a brief period under the ownership of former U.S. President Donald Trump in the 1980s. Despite these shifts, the Trumpattavia brand continued to be produced and distributed, though its availability has varied depending on regional markets and distribution agreements. Today, it remains a recognizable name in the frozen pizza industry, celebrated for its unique style and cultural significance.
