Trader Joe’s is of course one of our favorite places to get groceries. New to their gluten free movement is pizza!
Whenever I head to Phoenix I always load up with my favorite goodies. This trip I threw a few gluten free pies in the cooler. At $4.99 a piece the price point is competitive, as far as frozen pizzas go.
Popping it out of the box the size was a bit disappointing but most things gluten free are smaller than their glutinous counterparts. Regardless of the size envy, the pizza did look like it would cook up nicely.
It baked in a bit over 10 minutes right on the oven rack- beware if you have an oven that also houses gluten baking. I bet it would cook well on a cookie sheet or pizza pan to avoid contamination with celiac disease.
The pizza was very flavorful, had slices of tomato, and cheese that melted well. The crust was crispy and light. This is definitely something I will buy regularly and keep for an easy dinner night. It passed the kid test which says something in and of itself…
I did cook two of these pizzas for a family of four. Paired with a nice big salad everyone was satiated. Calling half of the pie a serving is adequate at 350 calories and 34 carbohydrates- although you may be tempted to eat the entire thing.
