ya'll didn't get to experience chartwells catering. That square pizza's nostalgic, but once the state contracted chartwells, they sold pizza and calzones everyday (The pizza wasn't square, but it was arguably worse). 99% of the school would eat a calzone everyday, because it was the most edible thing on the menu, and it still bled grease and depression with every bite.

I had square pizza in the 90's and loved it but it had hamburger pieces on it, or maybe it was sausage.  I'm not sure.

I really liked those pizza squares. I also remembering that hot dog day smell all the way into the hallways. How in the hell do you make a hot dog smell so gross and taste so bad back then?

Perfectly stated. I was poor, I used to steal school lunches, got caught and had to spend my free time helping the janitors at the school.
I got all the 'fun' jobs. No FSA.

The official recipe is published on line.

I make it at least once a year. I always serve it with buttered corn and chocolate milk.

Haha yeah I remember the pizza in the late 80's/early 90's I think my favorite were the grilled cheese sandwiches.... Super thick bread that was practically dipped in melted butter with like 1/8th inch thick cheese. Talk about greasy goodness if i remember correctly it was usually served with corn fruit cocktail and a snickerdoodle cookie.

In high school in the mid to late 90s we had a brand new school so instead of a traditional cafeteria we had a mini food court. We had an express style mcdonalds, a taco johns, a place that made good pasta and subs a pizza place and a bagel and coffee stand.

Square pizza, corn and 2% milk.

We used to have contests to see who could steal the most pizza. They dished it out on small paper plates. You could take 2, slap them together top to top under the plastic tray, then pay for 1 slice on top of your tray, along with a room temp milk.

Juvenile AF, but it was a thing. Just like kicking the vending machines to see if anything would fall out.

I was a Kang in my senior year. I worked at a restaurant that made awesome fried chicken. Some nights they saved leftovers for chicken salad the next day. Other nights they'd want to throw out 20+ pieces. I'd take that to school and hold court, handing out pieces of cold fried chicken to those I thought worthy.

Remember it fondly from the 80's, but...

When I was in Elementary school, our school lunch lady made homemade pizza for us every couple of weeks. The dough was light like a dinner roll.

We also had a Mexican pizza, octagonal shaped, called a Fiestada.

In Junior High we had the luxury of a salad bar.  I would enjoy it once or twice per week.

it took me a while to realize that the crutons were actually grilled cheese sandwhiches that were cut up and dried.

It was a super rare treat at our school!

We got it like 3 times a year.

I'm envious of all you folks that were served square pizza at least once a week!

Yep, I remember it.

The fresh baked rolls were the best though.  I don't know how they do it but school cafeterias make some of the best rolls.  Served with a pad of butter, heaven!

I always thought that they made it in the cafeteria, but it's very likely a Sysco product since it seems like it was identical across the country.

A convenience store a mile down the road from where I went to HS carries a perfect rendition of it. They say theirs comes from Sysco. They sell it by the slice, hot or frozen. Get some every time I'm in the area.

This thread is taking me back.


I loved the lunches we had in tech school as they were often made by the culinary arts students.

I would buy the poor kids lunch tickets from them so they could buy smokes and I would hit the lunch line twice some days.

I got funny looks a couple times going back for seconds with a ticket, but no really cared enough to make an issue out of it.

We could also reserve a "Dinner experience" that was a full on restaurant with a menu of items to chose from for something ridiculous like $4.00.

You could only order the things they were making that day, but steak and seafood come up pretty often.
