I purchased this pizza up during one of my trips to Trader
Joe’s after seeing a fellow Weight Watchers member mention she had purchased
it. Since I am a HUGE pizza lover, I decided
it was best to give this a shot because if I could have a whole mini personal
pizza without the guilt – why not, right? The single serving pizza is sold in the
freezer section and on the box looks as though it would be appetizing. The box states it contains yellow squash, zucchini,
eggplant and bell peppers. Reading the
back of the box the pizza could be cooked in either the microwave (there’s one
of those microwave friendly ‘baking’ trays in the box) or in the convection
oven. I had very high hopes for this
product because 1) it is only 7 Points Plus and 2) I pizza something fierce.
Unfortunately, I went into this with very high hopes and was
essentially completely crushed. Normally,
I am a huge Trader Joe’s lover but this pizza was a complete let down from the
get.
I cooked it in the toaster oven, per box directions, even
going over the cook time because nobody likes biting into a pizza and having
the very center of the pizza be cold or even still frozen. After giving it a few minutes, I pulled it
out, putting it on a cutting board and cut it up. First bites, the veggies at the very middle
were still stone cold (not frozen, just stone cold). Then by simply moving the pizza on the cutting
board you could see a large presence of water on it. Meaning the vegetables are insanely watery and
just make the whole reduced guilt pizza experience a miserable one. I couldn’t force myself to eat anymore; I
ended up tossing this straight into the garbage. Sad face because this is the 3rd fail
product from Trader Joe’s (the other 2 were a flavored seaweed snack and a
ginger candy).
Oh well, you win some, you lose some …. and this was my loss!
QUESTION:
What is your favorite frozen dish from Trader Joe’s?
