Abstract: An improved system and method for the manufacture of pizza products is disclosed. A set of cavities is formed in the shell in a cavity-forming operation. The cavity-forming operation may be performed in a fixture using a set of ports or outlets to inject a fluid to form the cavities and/or to fill the cavities with a fill material. A tool may be used to form the shell and/or the set of cavities (which may be filled or empty or in a combination). The fill material may be cheese or tomato/vegetable segment or pizza sauce or the like. The cavities may be formed in the edge or crust of the pizza product or in the center region of the pizza product. The pizza product may be commercially distributed as a frozen pizza product, including as a finished pizza product with toppings or as a pizza shell.
