Frozen Friday: DiGiorno - Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza

This week's Frozen Friday brings us DiGiorno's new Cheese Stuffed Crust Pepperoni Pizza which brings stuffed crust pizza to the microwave.

An 8.5-ounce pizza sells for $3.99 at my local supermarket or around $2.00 to $2.50 on sale.

Having never seen stuffed crust frozen pizza done before, I tried this one with a fair bit of interest. The pizza is relatively short in diameter with a fair bit of crust but is thicker than most pizzas.

Picking it up, there was nice bit of give and softness to the crust which has a warm bread-like texture that I found myself liking quite a bit.

Biting in, there was a satisfying amount of melted mozzarella cheese nestled within the crust and quite comparable to Pizza Hut's version. The sauce, and cheese were pretty decent. And the pepperoni was thick and flavorful. I wanted a bit of baked crispness from it but, hey, it came out of the microwave.

Overall, I enjoyed DiGiorno's Cheese Stuffed Crust Pizza very much and place it at the upper spectrum of microwave pizzas.
