Abstract
A process for the manufacture of a food product of the pizza type, in the shape of a pocket and edible as a sandwich, and the product obtained thereby. The process consists of: cooking a bottom raised pizza crust with its ingredients, of roughly rectangular shape, in a pizza oven, on the hearth and at the ambient heat of this oven, in the classical manner, up to a point near complete cooking; covering the bottom crust with its ingredients thus cooked with a thin raised pizza crust forming an envelope and enclosing the ingredients in a hermetic manner on the bottom crust, and making it one piece with the bottom crust by its edges; and placing the assembly obtained in the manner in the oven once again so as to cook the enveloped crust.
