In 1964, Robert S. Miller and Bruce N. Underwood recognized the need for nutritious snack foods. With extensive knowledge of the baking business, they knew that pizza was the ideal solution. Noting that a high-quality crust could distinguish a product in the marketplace, they began to develop a formula for a unique pizza crust.

By early 1970, B&B Pizza (later changed to Better Baked) was launched
from a small production facility in Sherman, New York. As the business
grew, newer and larger facilities were needed. In 1973, the purchase of a
new plant in Westfield, NY enabled them to increase capacity and continue
to grow the business.

During this period, Stouffer Foods Corporation noticed the quality of Better Baked Foods' products and as a result, asked Better Baked Foods to manufacture a unique French bread that was spread with garlic butter. In 1978, this new business led to the establishment of a second plant in nearby North East, PA. Today, all products are baked at the Westfield facility, while the topping, packaging and distribution takes place at our North East facility.

In the spring of 1986, Better Baked Foods installed a new pizza production line in North East and expanded their Westfield baking operation again. One year later, Better Baked Foods commenced their first shipments to the West Coast, thus expanding distribution of its products to a national level.

In December of 1988, Better Baked Foods changed its corporate posture
and decided to aggressively pursue the private label and contract packing business. The company invested in the necessary packaging equipment required to enter the retail market for many of the well-known grocery
outlets. Our contract packing business has grown to include nationally branded companies.

Today, 40 years after the first production, Better Baked Foods, Inc. is extending our capabilities to service the needs of Foodservice operators across the country. In the foodservice industry, Better Baked Foods, through its vast history and experience, is able to provide foodservice chain accounts with the same value, including quality customized products and solutions to meet the ever changing demands of foodservice operations around the globe.
