Delivery
What time will the package be delivered?
UPS typically delivers between the hours of 9:00am and 8:00pm. An exact time of delivery cannot be given, it depends where the address is on the UPS courier’s route.

No, it is your responsibility to let the recipient know a package is coming. We strongly advise this because the package is of a
perishable nature and needs to be put in refrigeration ASAP.

When sending to a residential address it is standard practice to release the package at the door if no one is home. Please advise the recipient a package is coming and to be on the lookout. Recipients in multi-unit buildings should be home in case the UPS driver needs a signature. When shipping to multi-unit buildings, packages may be delivered to apartment office.

The courier will take the package back to the UPS station and it will be the recipient’s responsibility to pick it up or reschedule a delivery before the package spoils.
Will UPS keep the package refrigerated?
No, products are kept cold by our packaging process.
Ingredients and Preparation
What if there is no dry ice in the package when I open it?
Dry ice evaporates, so there may not be any visible dry ice in the package upon opening. If the products are cool to the touch, they are OK to eat.
How long can the products keep in the "keep fresh" coolers?
All packages have enough dry ice to keep products frozen for more than 48 hours from the time they leave our facility.
Can I put the products in the freezer?
If the products are frozen when the package is received, you can put them in the freezer. If the products have been defrosted, for the best flavor, we do not recommend refreezing. Refrigerate defrosted products and eat within 24 hours.
How long do the products keep in the freezer?
For the best taste, we recommend eating the frozen products within 30 days, however the products will keep in the freezer longer.
How do I cook the products?
All products come with individual baking instructions. Please see product labels or inserts for specific instructions. We have also uploaded all our cooking instructions to this website for your convenience.
Can I cook the pizzas in the microwave oven?
We do not recommend this.
Is the sausage beef or pork?
We use pork sausage.
