If you read the Freschetta website, it will tell you that Pizzamore pizzas will transform your kitchen into your favorite pizzeria by taking one of these pizzas from the freezer to the oven. The claim to fame is a one-step bake and serve tray that takes all the fuss out of cooking. The tray was created to make a perfect pizza that is crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and that is evenly cooked. These are some lofty goals. When it comes to frozen pizza, I am incredibly picky. There are only one or two brands that I will bother to eat. I’d rather have homemade pizza, if I have the time to make it, instead.

I find that most frozen pizzas either have too much or too little sauce and they are overly bland. Add in the fact that they are either greasy or the toppings are unappetizing and it makes sense to not waste your money and to just call Hungry Howie’s instead. However, when I saw this large pre-sliced pizza in the frozen food section I decided to give it a whirl.

Feeding anyone in my house can be a battle. My mother rarely wants to eat anything, Dominick is a little easier to please when I am cooking, but when it comes to frozen or takeout he is a food snob (I can relate), and then our son is incredibly picky and resists new foods and brands like the plague. I figured this was set to be an interesting adventure!

There are six varieties of Pizzamore pizzas. You can choose from 6-Cheese, Pepperoni Duo, 10 Topping, Meat Medley, Bacon, and Mozzarella. I chose the Pepperoni Duo. What immediately caught my attention was that it is listed as being pre-sliced. I was curious if it would be as easy as popping it in the oven, picking up a hot slice, and enjoying something comparable to a restaurant.

The pizza comes on a heat and serve tray, so it was just a matter of popping it into the oven. After about 15-20 minutes you take it out and it’s more or less ready to serve. It is pre-sliced though the cheese melts beautifully, so you will need a knife on hand just to give it a small run through to separate the cheese.

When it comes to frozen pizzas this is the cream of the crop. The crust was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, the two types of pepperoni were delicious and flavorful with minimal grease and the cheese was delicate and oozing over the pizza. I couldn’t have been happier with this if I tried. I even liked the crust, which is rare for me, as I usually eat the main portion and toss the upper crust to the side. Dominick liked this pizza, as well. He still says that he favors DiGiorno Garlic Bread pizza more, though this is a close second for him.

Mom seemed to be pleased with it, too and our son, well the picky little guy ended up eating nearly half the pizza on his own. He liked it so much that we ended up getting another a day or so later to make him the pizza for his lunch. Next time we make this I think we will pair it with the Pizzamore Garlic or Cinnamon breadsticks. These look awesome and contain marinara or vanilla cream in the middle of the sticks. I can’t wait to see the reaction these get and they will help pull off an Italian dinner theme, quite nicely.
