Board reviews pizza bids and recommends Little Caesars, Jet’s for school lunches
Summary
Farmington Nutrition Services reported four pizza bids ranging $0.88–$1.02 per slice; a blind taste test favored Jet’s Pizza, but the recommendation balances taste, nutrition, reliability and proposes Little Caesars ($0.91/slice) and Jet’s Pizza ($1.02/slice).
Angela Davis, Supervisor of Nutrition Services, presented the district’s pizza procurement results, saying bids from Cottage Inn, Domino’s, Jet’s Pizza and Little Caesars ranged from $0.88 to $1.02 per slice. A blind taste test of student and staff participants ranked Jet’s Pizza highest in preference, but the recommendation sought to balance nutrition standards, student taste preferences, and vendor performance.
The staff recommendation named Little Caesars at $0.91 per slice (noted as offering a whole grain option and a reliable long-term relationship) and Jet’s Pizza at $1.02 per slice (a new vendor). The Board was presented the comparative prices and the procurement rationale; no formal vendor contract was approved during the meeting.
