Digiorno Pizza Taste Test

Kraft sent me coupons to try out some products for free. Actually, it has nothing to do with my blog. Anyone can sign up for Kraft First Taste. Anyway, I decided to eat the individual deep dish pizza one day for lunch. I also have to share my opinions with Kraft. And I will be equally honest when I publish both reviews. I baked my pizza in the oven, and cannot imagine it coming out crispy in my office microwave, but might be acceptable in our more programmable microwave at home.

What I liked about this product: I'm a big fan of lots of sauce on my pizzas. This one had it. It was less greasy than, say, the Personal Pan from Pizza Hut. The crust was certainly deep. At about $3.50, it's quite reasonably priced in comparison to eating out. (Although definitely not cheaper than homemade.)

What I didn't like about this product: The cheese did not melt evenly. My homemade pizza bakes in 15 minutes compared to this one's 30 minutes. The small size (5.5"-6") was not enough to feed a normal person a "full" meal. And it's worth significantly less than the large amount of calories and additives it gives. The cheese also didn't taste very special.

Conclusion: Obviously, my negative opinions far out weight the positives. Perhaps you would expect a negative review if you aren't a fan of most Kraft products, but for anyone else looking for a great lunch idea and interested in giving this a try, I'm not sure I would advise it. But then, the more time I've learned to spend in the kitchen, the more I've learned to appreciate the quality that comes from my kitchen in comparison to prepared frozen meals.
