Hillcrest Food Service Information

Hillcrest offered fresh whole, split and quartered fryers. As the 70's were coming to a close a chicken product that was regarded as peasant food or even know as a by- product would forever change the chicken industry, the chicken wing was born. As the demand for fresh chicken wings increased so did all the products that goes along with them. Hillcrest had customers requesting hot sauce, butter, spices, takeout containers and the list goes on. By 1980 along with the explosion of chicken wings, the pizzeria business saw an increase in sales with the addition of chicken wings to their menus. Hillcrest was again ready to diversify and this time it was pizza supplies. Hillcrest was supplying a local pizza chain with chicken wings and other related products when the broker from a tomato company located in California approached Hillcrest about supplying their products to this chain. The company was Stanislaus Food Products. With the distribution of tomato products to the pizza industry, along came other related products such as cheeses, toppings and boxes. Deli supplies were added to accompany the pizza supplies. Hillcrest Food Service was one of the first to distribute Stanislaus Food Products in Rochester NY. From the late 1980's and through to the present day, the now Hillcrest Food Service has expanded their product lines to offer not only pizzeria supplies but a wide selection of restaurant supplies.
