Choosing a frozen pizza can be overwhelming. Thin or thick crust, plain cheese, pepperoni, meat lovers, veggie lovers, extra cheese – the topping choices alone can be mind-blowing. Then there are the brand selections. There are hundreds of brands to look through but not all are created equal. But what some find outstanding, others may just think is sub-par. So how do you decide?
You may start researching right there in the frozen pizza aisle of your grocery store. No need – we've saved you the time and have narrowed down the exhaustive search to come up with a shortlist of what is perhaps the tastiest frozen pizza brand. This list will hopefully cause you less stress next time you're in the market for a simple dinner
Amy's Margherita Pizza
If you’re looking for a pizza that has organic and cleaner ingredients, this one is sure to be one of your favorites. The crust gets incredibly crispy, and for being a healthier pizza (is there such a thing?), it's delicious to top it off. It’s just a simple, margherita pizza that we had many times and always gone back for more.
California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Chicken Pizza
This restaurant's pizza is so tasty, that they now sell it in stores. But there are quite a few options to choose from. While frozen pizza can never compare to that of restaurant-quality pizza, this one comes pretty close. So, if you’re on the hunt for a frozen pizza with toppings that are out of the norm and similar to restaurant quality, this is the pizza for you.
Caulipower Three Cheese Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Whether you live a gluten-free lifestyle or just want a healthier version of pizza, many people are becoming fans of cauliflower crust. Take it from us, it’s not that easy to find one that has a similar crust to that of a regular pizza crust. While there are definitely other tasty brands out there—and everyone has their own preference for taste—we found this pizza was the best and most popular among testers.
Against the Grain Gourmet Uncured Pepperoni
If cauliflower crust isn't really your thing, we get it. Luckily, other gluten-free frozen pizza options are made with ingredients like almond milk or tapioca starch, such as this Against the Grain pepperoni pizza. While there are quite a few options out there, we found this was the best of the bunch.
Trader Joe’s Organic 3-Cheese Pizza
This cheesy pizza from Trader Joe's is as delicious as it looks. It's simple, it's cheesy, and it's inexpensive. With just the right amount of crunch and cheesiness, if you're looking for a budget pizza, we're sure you'll love this one. Plus, they have other pizzas with delicious toppings, but this one stands out to us.
Newman's Own Thin & Crispy Supreme Pizza
We're suckers for pizza with thin and crispy crust. It may not be for everyone, but if you're like us and you prefer that thin, crunchy crust, you'll love Newman's Own Thin & Crispy Supreme Pizza. And if you'd rather opt for basic toppings, this brand offers a simple cheese pizza, too.
DiGiorno Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza
We're ending this run-through of tasty frozen pizzas with something a little fun. If you're looking to mix it up, DiGiorno's stuffed-crust pizza hits the mark. Its soft yet cheese-filled crust makes this pizza what it is.
