Experience Italy at Home: Introducing the New Member’s Mark Artisan Margherita Pizza at Sam’s Club
At Sam’s Club, our members shape what we offer. That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil a product born directly from member feedback: the new Member’s Mark Artisan Margherita Pizza. Crafted with high-quality ingredients and rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Italy, this pizza delivers elevated flavors and restaurant-style satisfaction — all from the comfort of your home.
This isn’t just another frozen pizza. It’s a culinary experience designed to transport you. Close your eyes, and picture strolling through Rome’s cobbled alleys, breathing in the scent of freshly baked bread, basil, and ripe tomatoes. You pass a quaint café and spot a golden-crusted pizza topped with vibrant ingredients. Intrigued, you ask the manager what makes it so special — and he describes the hand-tossed dough, traditional pesto from Liguria, and locally sourced mozzarella.
Now imagine that you never left your neighborhood — because you didn’t. That café? It’s your local Sam’s Club. And the artisan-quality pizza that caught your eye? That’s our newest innovation, thoughtfully created for our members by the Member’s Mark brand.
You don’t need a passport to experience Italy. Just a Sam’s Club membership.
Crafted with Purpose: The Story Behind the Artisan Pizza
Launching in clubs now, the Member’s Mark 12” Artisan Margherita Pizza offers a premium, easy-to-prepare meal for those who appreciate authentic flavors. Behind this culinary innovation are Glenn Lewis, Senior Manager of Product Development and Sourcing, and Anthony Sumlin, Senior Director of Merchandising, Prepared Foods — both seasoned pizza industry veterans.
Their passion led them on a five-day culinary journey to Rome, where they explored 26 unique pizza varieties, searching for the essence of truly great Italian pizza. Among their favorite stops were Pizzeria Florida and Bonci Pizzarium — each known for their simple, high-quality ingredients and exceptional flavors.
“Walking through Rome is like stepping into the world’s most beautiful museum,” Glenn said. “The food is fresh, simple, and unforgettable. If we’d had two stomachs, we would’ve eaten everywhere.”
Their goal was clear: to bring the heart of that experience home to our members.
Every Detail Matters: From Italy to Your Table
The Member’s Mark Artisan Margherita Pizza is built from the base up with craftsmanship in mind. It starts in Rome, where the crust is made from a blend of high-quality Italian flours and a traditional sourdough starter. Hand-stretched and stone-baked, the crust is then shipped fresh to our clubs.
Once it arrives, our in-club associates prepare the pizza daily, layering on a scratch-made sauce composed of just six simple ingredients: tomato, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. The sauce offers a robust, savory base that balances perfectly with the pizza’s other flavors.
Next come the fire-roasted cherry tomatoes from Türkiye, marinated in oil, oregano, garlic, and salt — adding both depth and brightness to each bite.
No Margherita pizza is complete without cheese. Ours features a satisfying blend of shredded and fresh mozzarella, all-natural and sourced from Wisconsin. And the finishing touch? A drizzle of Member’s Mark Italian Basil Pesto made with 100% DOP-certified basil from Liguria — ensuring authenticity and superior quality.
More Than a Meal — A Commitment to Transparency and Quality
This pizza represents more than just a delicious offering. It exemplifies our ongoing dedication to ingredient transparency and responsible sourcing. Every element — from the flour in the crust to the DOP-certified basil — reflects our mission to deliver products that combine taste, quality, and integrity.
We believe food should tell a story. When you enjoy a Member’s Mark Artisan Margherita Pizza, you’re not just savoring flavors; you’re experiencing the result of care, intention, and a commitment to excellence.
Perfect for Summer Dining
With summer in full swing, it’s the ideal time to enjoy meals that are both convenient and elevated. Whether you’re hosting a patio dinner, family barbecue, or spontaneous weeknight gathering, this pizza makes the perfect centerpiece. Just pop it in the Member’s Mark 16” Rotating Gas Pizza Oven, pour a glass of Member’s Mark Sparkling Wine, and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal without leaving home.
It may taste like Rome, but it’s served fresh at Sam’s Club. And yes — another delicious pizza variety may be on the way soon.
