Square Round 48.3oz/1430ml 8.27" Round Gold Foil Container for Deep Dish Pizza & Large Party Dip

The actual container is 8.27 inches round, 63mm deep. That's deep enough for a Chicago style deep dish pizza. Yes, aluminum can handle pizza dough. A pizzeria in Detroit uses these gold trays for their "deep dish to go." They press the dough into the tray, add sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake. The 63mm walls hold a full inch of toppings without spilling. The gold color makes the crust look extra crispy. Customers bake it at home to reheat – same tray. No transfer.

But pizza isn't the only use. A catering company uses these for their "mega dip" platters – a 7*layer bean dip, buffalo chicken dip, or spinach artichoke. The 63mm depth means you can pack a lot of dip without it touching the lid. They use the plastic lid for visibility. Customers see the layers through the clear lid and think "wow." The gold tray becomes a serving bowl at the party.

The depth also makes this ideal for frozen stuffed shells. A meal prep business fills the tray with jumbo shells, ricotta, and marinara, then freezes. The 63mm gives enough room for two layers of shells. Customers bake from frozen at 200°C for 50 minutes. The gold tray goes straight into the oven. The business owner said that the gold color helps their product stand out in the freezer case at grocery stores.

From a production standpoint, a 63mm deep round container requires a three stage draw. The aluminum coil goes through progressive dies, each pushing the walls deeper. The gold lacquer is preapplied and stretches without cracking. Press speed is about 40*50 pieces per minute.

Packing is 500 per carton. The carton is 43 x 43 x 40.5cm – a cube. Lids available in foil or plastic. The foil lid can be crimped by hand. The plastic lid snaps on. The rim also accepts heat seal film for leakproof applications, though at this size, most buyers aren't sealing thin liquids.

One unexpected use: a bakery uses these for their "giant cookie cake." They press chocolate chip cookie dough into the tray, bake it, then decorate with frosting. The gold tray becomes the serving platter. They sell these for birthday parties. Customers keep the tray as a souvenir.

Recycling is fine. Rinse and toss.

So if you're making deep dish pizza, mega dips, or giant cookie cakes, this 8.27 inch deep gold round is worth a test. It's deep, it's gold, and it makes your food the center of attention.
