The cranberries are good but I almost feel like there was something that needed to be added between the crust and the cranberries to break it up a little bit further.Ĭranberries can be pretty assertive on their own and there was quite a bit of them here. The cookie side faces up but gets flipped down when you put it onto a serving dish. Things seem to get more confusing when you take this out of the box and are looking at the bottom of the pie and not the top. But when you cut into this it tastes more like a cookie with lots of walnuts in it. When I think of pie I tend to think of a flaky crust. However, I think this product is a bit misleading. Now, don't get me wrong, my absolute favorite Trader Joe's cranberry product hands down is their Cranberry Orange Relish that shows up in the refrigerated aisle along with the seasonal items that only last through the short holiday season. However, since I've never had the opportunity to go to Italy, I'll leave that up to the comments section to decide on how authentic it is to Italian-style pizza.įor $2.99 it is certainly cheaper than a slice of pizza in New York as the starting price for a plain slice seems to however at or above $2 before you add any toppings.īut if you are like me and enjoy a quick meal with minimal mess, then this wasn't a bad item to reach for. So yes, this product is imported from Italy so it might be more reminiscent of something you'd get on a long vacation. However, this never reaches quite the greatness of New York pizza. Quicker than delivery in most cases and depending on where you live might actually be better than local delivery. In either case, this little pizza only takes 10-12 minutes on 425F.
The key difference is the added tomato on top of this as opposed to the arugula and prosciutto topping on the flatbread. They were about the same thickness and the crusts seemed similar. Otherwise, this ate a whole lot like Trader Joe's Prosciutto, Arugula, and Burrata Flatbread. There does seem to be some flavor going on here. It's to die for.īlue cheese dressing adds creaminess while the green bell peppers add a fresh, earthy bite.So one of my common complaints about Trader Joe's frozen pizzas is that the crust is pretty bland.
