non dairy

Posted on | November 5, 2008 | 8 Comments

Amy’s sent me this personal sized dairy free, wheat & gluten free pizza to try. This pizza is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner since it is ready to eat in 12 minutes from start to finish and is the perfect size for one person.

Fresh out of the package, I couldn’t hold back a feeling of disappointment at the lack of sauce and cheese on this pizza, It just didn’t look like a good gluten free pizza. However, I gave it a try. I baked the pizza for nine minutes and broiled for 60 seconds. I tried to keep an eye on it, but the edges still burned, Boo!

The pizza:

The crust has a thin, crispy edge and a soft, course textured, and mealy center. The bottom of the crust did not brown or crisp up at all. The flavor was mild and paired well with the sauce.

The sauce was sparse, but actually tasted tangy and flavorful and paired well with the crust and cheese. I really liked it! I just wish there was more of it.

The cheese was also sparse- this pizza really needed more. This soy based cheese does not really melt or spread and simply doesn’t look good. However, the taste is actually decent.

Overall, this pizza is “OK” but really needs some extra toppings to give it some “oomph.”

Pros: flavorful sauce, simple prep

Cons: seriously lacking toppings, mealy tasting crust, crust baked unevenly- soft center and too crispy edges

Rating: 2 1/2 stars

To try this pizza for yourself, check the frozen foods section of your local grocery or natural food store

My kids like this pizza with added shredded mozzarella, canadian bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, onion & green pepper. They like that the sauce isn’t spicy. You can put foil strips around the edges to keep the crust from burning and cook it a little longer to get it done in the middle.

I love these pizza’s, HATE THE PRICE $$$..
I got a new oven (breville), and these cook perfectly..
Yes, you do need to watch it, esp the last two min (boil)..
I actually watch the cheese start to brown and take it out..
I also put the pizza in with no pan..
This is not the same ingredients as a wheat and cheese pizza, so I do not expect it to taste or cook the same..

Try the regular frozen food section of your local grocery store- most of my local stores do – even Walmart supercenters carry them near me. Good luck!

I made this and two other gluten free pizza for my daughter last night. While none of them were any good this was, without a doubt, the worst. Who comes up with this stuff? I’ve been making pizza, bread and any number of things from scratch for years but I’m now trying gluten free pizza and recipes as well as packaged items to find a base from which to start. This is all a disappointment. I’m going to try a few store-bought pizza crusts for further investigation. One of the problems with these foods is that the sauce, cheese, etc. that they put on them are pure crap.
