jever4321,

Thanks for saying this attempt was awesome looking.  This has been my best attempt so far in terms of the taste of a real Mack's pizza, especially the cheese part.  I mixed this dough yesterday by hand, so this pie isn't hard to make. 

I will have to start searching where the private label company is, that might be producing this Acme brand of longhorn style mild white cheddar.

ERASMO,

I did really like the Acme longhorn cheese.  ;D  It is really close to the taste of Mack's pizza.  Thank you so much for finding this cheese.  :)  This longhorn cheese is a lot different than the other mild white cheddars I tried before.  I wish you could have been at market to try this pie. 

Thanks for all your investigating and your help in trying to clone this pizza,  :)

Norma

I contacted SUPERVALU at two places and ask them about the Acme Brand of Longhorn Style of mild white cheddar cheese and if they distribute this same cheese under a private label to different states in the US or if their other stores might also carry this same kind of cheese.

http://www.supervalu-storebrands.com/contactus.asp#

http://www.supervalu.com/sv-webapp/contact/contact.jsp

Two places listed where it appears that these are the companies owned by SUPERVALU

http://www.supervalu.com/sv-webapp/

http://www.supervalu.com/sv-webapp/retail/retail.jsp

I will wait and see if SUPERVALU contacts me about private labeling or if they might also carry this same brand of cheese under another label in different places in the US.

Norma,

I'm glad to hear that you closed the gap some more with the Acme cheese. Maybe in due course you can offer a Mack's clone from time to time at market, particularly if you can find a foodservice source of the cheese or an equivalent. It certainly would be  nice to find other retail sources of the cheese.

At some point you might also try dialing back the amount of oil and sugar to reduce the softness of the crust. You could offset a decreasae in the oil by an increase in the hydration if the dough is too stiff.

Peter,

The funny thing about that Mack’s clone pizza that I made yesterday was I had put the pizza in the heated, humidified cabinet, after trying two slices.  Two men came up and asked what kind of pizza the Mack’s clone was.  I asked them if they ever go to the shore.  They said yes, and said the  Mack’s clone pizza looked just like a Grotto Pizza they buy in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.  They each bought a slice and said it tasted like Grotto’s pizza.  I have never tasted Grotto’s pizza, but had to chuckle to myself.  I thought O no, not another kind of pizza clone.   :-D Of course I had to look up what a Grotto Pizza looked like, this morning. Another shore pizza.  http://www.grottopizza.com/content/page-17.html   http://www.grottopizza.com/content/page-9.html

Hopefully I can find out where other people can purchase the same kind of cheese ERASMO and I tried. I did contact SUPERVALU and I did receive one response and am going to provide all the information to see if this will lead anywhere.  This is the email I received this morning.

The hydration of this recent attempt seemed okay and the dough was easily opened and twirled.  Maybe in my next attempt, I will dial back the sugar and let the oil the same to see what kind of results I will get. The crust did taste like a Mack's pizza.

Norma,

If you do a Google image search, you will find some photos of Grotto pizzas. Here are a few examples:

Peter,

Those photos you found do really look like a Mack's pizza, and although they do look tasty, there is no way I am going to try another clone pizza. I wonder if they also use a mild white cheddar for the cheese.

I have also been to Rehoboth Beach many times when my children were small, because we owned a trailer near Lewes Beach we vacationed at in the summertime. We went crabbing and had fun there, but I can't ever recall eating a Grotto's pizza.  It's weird how Mack's pizza has stuck in my mind.  I guess I had it since my childhood, and over the years, so that might be why it has stuck in my mind.

I also contacted Schreiber Foods (cheese) to see if they might be the private label that provides the Acme private label brand cheese.  I gave them the exact type of cheese I purchased. I don’t know if they are the company that provides private label cheese to  SUPERVALU for Acme.. I will wait and see if they also reply to me.

Colleen, a customer care specialist called me at home this afternoon and talked to me about what supermarkets under the SUPERVALU name carry the same brand of cheese that ERASMO and I purchased at Acme.  She said that Jewel carries it under their private label in the midwest and western states.  Albertson’s carries it in the western and south central and southern states, and Shaws carries the same cheese in the northeastern states.  I asked her if the private label company is Schreiber Foods that does distribute this cheese to all the SUPERVALU stores under them.  She said the person that sent her the information didn’t state who supplies the cheese under the private label.

I don’t know if other people will be able to locate this cheese under a private label around the US, but it is worth a shot, if you want to try a cheese like ERASMO and I tried.

I looked on the web, after ERASMO called Acme and found out that Masters Gallery Food (cheese) is the company that supplies the longhorn style mild white cheddar to Acme.  They do provide private label cheese to retail supermarkets. 
               
I did contact Masters Gallery and asked them different questions.  I will wait and see if I get a response.

I awoke Pinocchio up early this morning, after I received a reply from Schreiber Foods Inc.  He wanted to see what Schreiber Foods had to say about the longhorn style mild white cheddar cheese I purchased at Acme.  He didn’t even get dressed or comb his hair, because he was excited to see if this type of cheese could be purchased all over the US.  I printed Pinocchio a copy of the email for him to read.  He also wants other members or guests to be able to try the same kind of longhorn style white cheddar that ERASMO and I tried.

This is the email where Schreiber Foods responded to me and the same one Pinocchio read.

Hi Norma,

I received your inquiry as to where you might be able to track down the Acme brand longhorn style mild white cheddar cheese. Unfortunately, the product that Schreiber produces that would fit this description is yellow. Eastern Pennsylvania would be the best place to get the white product, but other than that, the ability to get white cheddar across the US is not very good.


If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know and I would be more than happy to do so.

Thank you.

Since it seems this type of white cheddar is only available around our area, I don’t know if members want me to pursue this farther or not.  If anyone wants me to respond, let me know and I will question how the yellow cheddar compares with the white cheddar and if the taste of the yellow cheddar are the same as the white cheddar.

As of right now, I haven’t receive a response from Master Gallery Cheese.
