On one of my last shopping trips to Albertson’s, I purchased a frozen pizza to try. I’ve actually never tried a supermarket frozen pizza before. I ended up getting a DiGiorno Supreme. It took about 20 minutes to cook in the toaster oven. I was surprised that the pizza fit into the oven.
I ended up having two slices. The pizza was not pre-sliced and the crust was pretty hard (I may have overcooked it), so we actually cut the pizza with a pair of kitchen scissors. The taste was on par with large chain pizzas like Dominoes or Pizza Hut. I think the pizza was $7.50 so about comparable to the chain pizzas. A good pizza that size will probably cost $20. Here is the nutritional information:

I guess if you don’t eat the entire pizza, it’s not too bad for you. I think I’ll try a few different brands to see if I find something I like better. Not going to eat this everyday but good to keep one or two in the freezer in case no one wants to cook or order take out.
