A new frozen pizza from Trader Joe's - I spied this for the first time two weeks ago - is always going to get my attention. There is of course no guarantee that they will be good, but the odds are better than even; TJ's has certainly earned the benefit of the doubt over the years.
I love this.
"For crispier crust, bake an additional minute."
You know, in case you do not understand how ovens work.
"Try using this pizza as a base for your favorite pizza toppings."
Translation: We know this is a boring pizza but if you add tasty ingredients to it, it will be better.
I was not impressed with the size. If your family is larger than one person, I don't know how you can consider this "family size." (I had no trouble eating it myself.)
I suppose if your family is two people and you share a salad and a vegetable, you could split this.
The crust was light and airy and the cheeses actually tasted like cheese, not merely some highly-processed version that you have spent your life avoiding since Grilled Cheese Day in your elementary school cafeteria.
This is slightly more expensive than your average Trader Joe's pizza ($5.99), but even so, it's still a better value than any almost any other brand.
I have opted never to rate a pizza with a half-star (or slice, as the case may be), as that always seems like a cop-out. It has not been an issue until this pizza. It is better than my three-slice rating, but I felt like I would be overrating it a tad to give four slices.
Then I realized two things: 1) It's a blog about frozen pizza. Don't take yourself so seriously. And 2) It's Trader Joe's. If any company deserves to be bumped up slightly, they do.
