Between working, making time to exercise, and meeting family obligations, American adults juggle busy schedules – and, with the economy still on everyone’s mind, they are also looking to SAVE money. But busy couples don’t have to let hectic schedules and budget concerns interfere with date night! Dr. Oetker Ristorante recently paired up with Richard Vayda, the Director of Wine & Beverage Studies at the Institute of Culinary Education, on wine pairing suggestions to elevate the date night experience at home. I was invited to participate in something called a “webinar” where I got to listen, ask questions and learn all about wine pairings with meals. After participating, I was sent an incredible care package of goodies and they offered to giveaway 2 more to YOU (our incredible, fantastic, and yes fabulous readers)!
The Product ~ Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza
Italy’s top-selling frozen pizza is finally being introduced to pizza lovers in the United States. Dr. Oetker (pronounced urt-ker) is the NO. 1 pizza in Italy and has quickly become a favorite brand of thin-crust pizza among consumers throughout Europe and Canada.
And now the United States can enjoy the taste and the atmosphere of an Italian Restaurant for a fraction of the price while dining at home. There are SIX different variety of pizzas that they sell, including:
- Spinaci (spinach): This unique pizza is layered with sun-ripened tomatoes, savoury leaf spinach, cheese and mozzarella, perfected by a hearty garlic sauce (shown above).
- Mozzarella: The wonderful aroma of fresh cheese provides this pizza with its elegant taste, combined with tomatoes, Edam cheese and a delightful mixture of herbs.
- Funghi (mushroom): The most preferred vegetable pizza. Enjoy this vegetable pizza with its many aromatic mushrooms, fruity tomatoes, tasty cheese and fine mozzarella cheese.
- Vegetale (vegetable): Layered with generous helpings of tangy tomatoes, mouth-watering peppers, onions and chilies, on a crispy thin crust
- Quattro Formaggi (4-cheese): A delicious blend of mozzarella, Edam, Emmental and blue cheese, complemented by a tantalizing basil seasoning on a crispy thin crust.
- Speciale (meat): This unique thin crust pizza with Pepperoni and Cooked Ham make this pizza a culinary feast. Edam, Mozzarella and spicy herbs add to the full flavor of this wonderful pizza.

My Review
One of the best parenting lessons that I have learned over the years, is to make time for yourself and your spouse. So it was nice to hear from a professional that you don’t have to go out and spend a ton of money (which we don’t have) to have a nice date night. My husband and I don’t drink a lot of wine, or any alcohol for that matter, but when we do – its nice to have with Italian, steaks, or even barbecue.
I absolutely loved the care package Dr. Oetker sent to me, which included some fun ways to get our date night started – like candles and wine. I loved learning about the colors, smells and even textures that wine offer (during the webinar) and ways they enhance the meal you are sharing with someone you care about. I only wish that we could have enjoyed the pizza as well (as it is limited to only a certain number of States). Here’s hoping that they start sending pizzas to the midwest (where I live) and to more areas in the United States. In the meantime, check out the amazing giveaway below and enter to WIN a care package of your own!
