There are supposedly 9 slices in a box. But really, it is 3 large slices with perforations where you could cut eat one into smaller slices. I don’t think anyone in the history of the world has done that, cut these pizzas into their smaller components.

Chris says: Ready in 5 minutes in the toaster [oven] and you can enjoy a pretty decent pizza. NO skimping on cheese and pretty good sauce. You just can’t beat Giant’s 2 boxes of Ellios for $5 any day (when it’s on sale). That’s less than a dollar [each] for 6 lunches!!

Just to let you know your pizza is the best

I always broke them into the 3 pieces (but always ate all 3)

Ellio’s aren’t that great, but since almost every adult (under 40) has probably grown up on them, it’s more of a nostalgia food, and good for that reason alone.

I totally used to eat this when I was little… my mom would make it for me. I remember it being summer time, and my mom insisting that my sister and I sit outside at the picnic table to enjoy the backyard. And then she’d bring out the Ellio’s pizza….memories!!

Definitely memories associated with the Ellio’s. Mom would heat up a “sheet” of pizza for baby bro and I; we’d get a slice and a half. 20-some years later and I still can’t eat more than a slice and a half at a time

you people are crazy. this stuff is junk food at its finest. this cardboard with glop ontop is what they used to serve us on Fridays at the cafeteria in grade school. some adventurous types were amazed more at how it would stick to the walls then disappointing their appetites by eating it. i wasn’t one of them, going back to class hungry is no joke. i’d simply imagine i was stuck on a desert island, and this was all i had to eat. viola, my friend, problem solved, bar lowered a little. do yourself a favor, save up a buck more and graduate to the stouffer’s french bread pizzas, made by nestle, if frozen is a must. better yet pick up a boboli’s crust, fresh moz, basil and a jar of victoria’s marinara and get that oven ready. or pretend your on that island…

That’s pizza? I thought it was a pile of some kind of cheezy or curried rice. Weird.

And I’m kind of freaked out that it’s a McCain product that I never saw for sale in New Brunswick, Canada where they’re from. They just export the weird rice-looking pizza I guess.

Ellio’s takes me back to the days when Reagan was President and ketchup was an approved vegetable. This tastes just like the food service pizza we were served every friday, with a desert called Peanut Butter Confection. Yum

These pizzas are terrible. I too, grew up in the rapture of the Ellio’s pizzas with their perforated slices (and yes, I did break them apart - you have to let it sit for a little bit to break it up, or microwave for ten second intervals until it’s breakable). After not having had Ellio’s for about ten years, I decided to try them again, as it’s always to have something quick and tasty in the freezer… I was sorely mistaken. I actually threw the rest of the box out. The ‘crust’ was never especially fantastic, but They must have changed their recipe or something because it was absolutely disgusting. And above all, I was embarrassed because I had been talking it up to my boyfriend and he too had a terrible Ellio’s experience.
