Freschetta Promotion Provides 150 Pizzas to the NW Angle
Freschetta Pizza, a Minnesota based company, has launched The Great Frozen Pizza Expedition. The goal, deliver 150 Freschetta frozen pizzas made with high-quality ingredients to the residents of Angle Inlet, MN in a very unique manner, a sled dog team across Lake of the Woods.
As you might know, in order to drive to the northern most point of the contiguous United States, the NW Angle, one must travel 40 miles through Canada. It is called an exclave. It appears Freschetta Pizza was feeling a bit sorry for the residents of Angle Inlet, MN, as to get a pizza takes a big effort.
Freschetta Pizza mentions the residents of the NW Angle deserves pizza that they don’t have to drive through Canada to access, so they took it upon themselves to deliver a Freschetta freezer with the 150 pizzas for residents to enjoy. The company’s video mentions residents literally have to drive over 120 miles just to get a frozen pizza and cross an international border four times.
The video mentions, “We respect the distance Angle Inlet residents go to for their favorite food. So we decided to pay that respect back, by bringing their favorite pizza to them”.
A feat like this for anyone who is not accustom to the NW Angle and it’s changing ice conditions, climate and simple ruggedness needs some assistance. In the case of Freschetta, the NW Angle Edge Riders snowmobile club was that local source. Members are residents and in the know when it comes to routes across the lake to the Angle, what equipment is needed, and any support that may be needed. 
For residents who may have not had the chance to pick up their free pizza, the freezer is being kept at the NW Angle Edge Riders building on the mainland.
It isn’t often that a company comes up to the NW Angle to make a commercial. It is also not often a company recognizes the hardships of residents of the NW Angle just to live life. A great place to live, but a life that is makes it quite the feat to access a frozen pizza!
