I keep wondering about that pizza spread too! But no one I know remembers anything about it, even though at home we had it for lunch every other day, it seemed like. What WAS that stuff?? Gosh, it was good!

I remember pizza spread. I used to beg my mother for it every day. I wish they would start making it again. It was the best lunch/snack. Nobody I know remembers it either...maybe they had boring ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch!

I remember a version made by Kraft called Pizza Quick. It came in a jar. It contained a ton of parmesan cheese and all you had to do was spread it on a piece of toast. As pathetic as it sounds, I still look for it in supermarkets. One day I was rushing through a store and thought I saw it out of the corner of my eye. Then, weeks later when I realized what I thought I found, I couldn't remember what store it was, so did a back-track to every supermarket I thought I'd been to in the past few weeks. (Sigh), I never found it. I even checked on Kraft's website and it doesn't appear they make it anymore. Maybe it was all wishful thinking. But, that stuff was so good!

i used to have that pizza spread for after school snack i think it was in an orange brown tin

It was called Spread A Pizza the pizza quick by kraft is still around. we have some at home now. but the Sprad A Pizza was awesome! wish they would make it again. that and libbys fruit Float!!!!

Does anyone have a pizza spread recipe? e-mail me at chenier_steve@hotmail.com

i hadd it all the time LOVEd the tast of it be nice if it was brought back

I can still taste the pizza toast! It did come in an orangey/brown tin (the same as the spread), about the third the size of a regular tin. It must be found!

Pizza Quick was the bomb! Just ad Toast and parmesean Cheese and it was GREAT....

It was made by Libby, I think.

i used to love this stuff, but no one i know remembers it...

Paris Pate was the brand of pizza spread that came in that tin. They made other products but none quite as good as their Pizza.

I used to eat that stuff I loved so much while watching ''The Price is Right''.

I did a commercial for this in the seventies, never saw it though, shown in chicago area i believe, I from NY area, Libby's was the maker if i can remeber back in early childhood. if anyone ever seen or knows where to view such commercial email please.Thanks DS

My nrothers and I were in the first tv commercial for spread a pizza. Very funny to see this now>

I LOVED PIZZA SREAD WE WOULD BUY IT FROM THE POP SHOPPE HERE IN CANADA, I MUST FIND THAT STUFF TO SEE IF IT IS STILL GOOD AS I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD

It was made by Libby's. I remember the cheese pizza spread being tasty, and the little bits of sausage in the sausage pizza spread. We'd spread it on toast, top with parmesan and broil it for a minute.

I am so glad that others remember this product. I have told my kids (who are now grown) about it. It was GREAT Stuff!!!! I wish the people who made it read these comments and would start making it again!!!!!

My sister and I are in our mid forties now and happily remeber it as well- sooooo, where can we buy a can in 2011 in Ontario, Canada??

I remember that stuff from the early 80's. I accidentally found a cheap substitute a few years back. I mixed Old el Passo mild salsa with Cheeze Whiz. The taste was similar to my memories of it but I'm not quite sure. You're welcome to try! :o)

Holy crap!! I thought I was the only one that remeberd this stuff,i am 40 now and every so often i have this conversation with my parents and sister and they have no clue what im talking about...Orangy/brown small tin can with a pop up type of lid...brownishh spread with chunks of peperoni of sort...did not look good at all(probly the source of its demise)...spread on toast,pop it in the toaster oven on grill... 2 minutes or so and man that stuff was tasty.The thing about this that makes it memorable for me was that you toast the bread,spread the spread and re toast it...how could anybody forget somthing like that......dam,now im hungry! :o(

I asked someone the other day if they remember pizza spread a red can thicker than a can of tuna and put it on toast it was awesome...there were also some kind of pillsbury pizza melts, round pieces of cheese with little pieces of pepperoni in it and you put it on english muffins and toasted them

libbys libbys libbys, spread and heat, pizza pizza pizza!!!! that was the commercial jingle I recall. I believe I spread that stuff on bays english muffins. I also believe contadina still makes pizza sauce in a small can, just add parmesan and or a little mozzarella on toast or whatever...

Yes, Libby's did make a pizza spread that came in a small can with a yellow/orange lid. I still have one of the old cans (empty of course) minus the lable but, with the lid. I found it a while back with some pennies in it. I guess I used one as a piggy bank when I finished it. It brought back some good memories. I loved that stuff!

Paris Pate - Still in business but sadly do NOT still make their amazing Pizza Spread..... :( Just like the Bar 6 Chocolate bar we can only enjoy our memories.

I was addicted to that pizza spread product when I was a kid. It was awesome.

I'm so glad others remember this too! I loved it here in Canada in the late 70's.

Just had Totino's Pizza Rolls and the inside totally tastes like Pizza Spread! I hadn't thought of that stuff in years!

We loved Libby's Pizza Spread. We would place some colby cheese on top and then broil it.....yummy! I wish they would make it again!

I miss it so much. Pizza spread was my favorite snack growing up. I which it was still being made.

So

My longing for that pizza spread has haunted me again and again over the years. The taste is still embedded in my memory. Something about it has nibbled at my mind for about 30 years, to the point where I sat down here tonight to search for any information about it. Glad to see that there are many other fans, and that I am not the only one the misses and remembers that wonderful stuff. It had a unique flavour that was so processed and delicious! Good memories of '70s/'80s TV afternoons and pizza spread, fresh out of the oven. Mmmmm....

i saw in the kosher iles by the supermarket calld pizza spread from a cremeo brand in many flavors ts really yomey

Loved the pizza spread, here in Nova Scotia, also remember the pills bury pizza melts tap hat were the size of English muffins, had chunks of pepperoni, but the pizza spread on toast was SO good!

As I recall Pizza Spread was made by Paris Pate. It was fantastic. It was pepperoni-type meat, cheese and tomato sauce in a can and it was awesome. Spread on bread, a few minutes under the broiler and you were good to go. I know it sounds kind of gross (remember Steve Martin talked about "pizza in a cup" in a movie?) but it was delicious. Wish they still made it. Glad to discover others remember it

doe's anybody remember the green boxes of kraft sausage pizza mix

Ever heard of Pizza flavoured ketchup? May be more 1960's..in glass bottles..I think Hunt's or Heinz? Where's that Rob Lambert when u need him..he seems to know a lot of info!

Spread and Heat Pizza was awesome. I would place a slice of Munster cheese over the spread, then heat it. I miss the excellent taste and wish it was still made. This is the reason I am on this site. I googled Spread and Heat Pizza.

I remember the Pizza Spread, but I really liked the Taco Spread (unless they were one in the same!) Boy it was good on bread! Not sure why I've been thinking about it for the past week. I'm glad to find I'm not the only one nostalgic for the stuff in the pop-top tin!

I remember in the 1970's going out to a pizza place called Tasty Pizza in Griffin Georgia!! Very Very good!!! There was plenty of pizza sauce in it and lots of mazarella cheese!!! Pizza places now days don't put hardly any sauce on them!! I wish I knew the reciepe, I would make my own!!!

I've been trying to remember the name of that stuff forever. Nobody seemed to remember it but me. I used to buy it from Revco. I sure wish Libby's would bring it back. Pizza Quick just ain't the same...

I have been looking for this for years. we use to put it on english muffins and bake it in the toaster oven. Does anyone know the rcipe for it, if so pass it on...lol Love it!

I can't remember the name of the pizza spread. we used to buy it in Ontario. it Orange can and we spread on bread and broiled it. my sister and I thought it look like cat food. I'm dying to remember the name of it. greggor1968@gmail.com

It was so neat reading all these posts! We were seven kids in the 70's and Mom used to make this for lunch almost every day if we wanted it. I can't remember name either. I think the can was shaped much like a can in which jalapenos are sold with pull top lid! That stuff had a distinct taste and I can still taste it. Wish I remembered the name...

I love that everyone remembers that "small" pull top orange n brown can, me too. About the size of what a fancy feast cat food can is now. I have been googling for a pic of it for hours now, putting in all diff' search words. The closest I got was a guy on youtube who had just a label, but it was called Pizza Magic from ChefBoyrdee. I can't believe there is not a pic to be found when so many people remember it.Not even in Libby's 70's canned foods..gonna keep looking so I can send to my brother & freak him out. Pls share if anyone finds something ,thanks

I ask people today about pizza spread. Nobody remembers it ? I do it was awesome just like a real slice. My mom would buy it for us to make while she was at work . I lived in Toronto .

Hi everyone, i come back to this post every year for about 10 years now, anyone come across a recipe yet?, or something close, boy i miss that stuff!!

My email is cheznousfarms@cogeco.ca

Found at article with a knock-off recipe for Libby's Spread n' Heat Pizza. Note: I have not made this recipe and cannot vouch for how close it is to the original. If someone tries it, let us know! CLIPPED FROM Detroit Free Press, Detroit, Michigan 24 Sep 1975, Page 26 Spread the Flavor Another convenience item has popped onto Detroit food shelves: It's a pizza flavored spread to use on bread or Eaglish muffins for individual-sized pizzas. Called ‘Spread and Heat Pizza” the product is put out by Libby, McNeill & Libby in small five-ounce containers with enough spread for seven slices of toast. It’s a good item to use when in a quandry for appetizers for many guests, but it retails for about 45 cents — rather expensive for only seven slices of toast. There are three types — green pepper and onion, cheese, or sausage flavor — all artificially flavored. The Tower Kitchen threw together-a similar product that could be stored in the refrigcrator for a few weeks and would cost half as much: Pizza Spread In small saucepan combine one-half teaspoon cornstarch with a small amount of tomato sauce from an eight-ounce cat unfit smooth. Stir in remaining tomato sauce along with three tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, one-half teaspoon salt or to taste, and one-fourth teaspoon each oregano, basil and sugar. Cook over low heat until bubbly and slightly thickened, about five minutes. Pour into jar or container and refrigerate. Makes enough spread for about 16 slices of bread or English muffins. Spread about one tablespoon pizza spread on bread. Place about six inches from broiler. Broil about six minutes, or until bubbly. For other flavors, sprinkle on cooked sausage, ham, green pepper, onion, or mushrooms.

I remember this stuff and I loved it. I grew up in the 70's myself and some people in my age group (49) remembered it to. I actually have a container still from it, my mom kept her sewing buttons in it,just the lid and aluminum can. Thanks all for commenting on my trip through memory lane.

Libby’s Spread ‘n Heat Pizza The “Pizza” in the name of this product was a bit misleading; Libby’s Spread ‘n Heat was simply a flavored sauce sold in a smallish can. You had to provide the bread and the cheese. And the cooking process was a little more involved than the standard heat-and-serve convenience food: You first toasted a slice of bread (or an English muffin, if you liked a thicker crust) in the toaster, then slathered on the Libby’s Spread. Next you sprinkled the cheese of your choice on top and popped it into the toaster oven for another two or so minutes. But back in 1975 the folks at Libby’s were betting that consumers would prefer waiting three minutes for a slice of pizza bread versus the 30 minutes it took for a frozen pizza to cook. Libby’s wasn’t wrong with its prediction that consumers would buy a product that allowed them to concoct a reasonable facsimile of pizza out of a hamburger bun (Ragu's Pizza Quick Sauce would take off in the years to come), but for some reason the sauce never took off

I also remember the pizza spread. I loved that and mug o lunch when I was a kid. I miss that old stuff they had back then.

FYI... Here is the trademark information. Registered on Jan. 27, 1976, and sadly received the status of "un-revivable" on June 22, 1982. :( https://trademark.trademarkia.com/spread-n-heat-pizza-81031599.html

I have reached out to Libby's with a request for any info they can provide on this long lost treasure.

My response from Libby's: "This old advert from the 70s is all I could find online. I don’t have any other information, sorry." Unfortunately, this site's image upload feature is not currently working, or I would share the the picture with you. Looks delicious!

Paris Pate made pizza spread in a can. My dad worked there & used to bring some home for us. It was sooo good. Just spread it on a piece of bread and put it under the broiler for a few minutes. Was delish!

Here is Paris Pate's trademark for the Pizza Spread. http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/viewTrademark.html?id=441327&lang=eng

I ate so much Pizza spread toast that I got sick of it, but sure wish I had some now.

Thank you to Mike for remembering Spread A Pizza. I write poetry and recently made a reference to Spread A Pizza in my poem. No one in my writing group had heard of it. I couldn’t find anything online about it, but now I have the confidence to keep it in the poem. That stuff was addictive. I ate it every day for a year on English muffins when I was a kid.

Used to get a pizza spread sold by Marshall Fields in Chicago in the 60-70’s. Anyone know the name. One of those things I’ll never forget the taste. Spread it on white bread. No meat or cheese just an orange color spreading
