DiGiorno says: We only use our own natural and pure artesian well water, and never add any preservatives, artificial ingredients, or MSG. Oh, just kidding! This is a pizza made with cheese, pepperoni, sausage, onions and green bell peppers.

Abi says: Today a coworker heated up calimari and broccoli (together!) in the microwave. I no longer have any remorse over making my coworkers suffer through the Stouffer’s Fish Fillet and the Simply Asia Soy Noodles.

DiGiorno’s Rising Crust Pizza is not for those of you at risk of a heart attack. Eating a whole mini-pizza means consuming 770 calories and half of your daily fat. I had to do some serious blotting before eating this pizza. Is there any way they can make the cheese or meat or whatever it is less fatty? Really, there are millions of women out there taking precious time to blot pizza with a napkin.

While I enjoyed the technical flair of the microwavable rising crust, I found that crisping circles and cheese are not friends. You can see instances of this long battle between cheese and crisping circle in the pictures above. Is there a remedy? Yes, do not eat this pizza. DiGiorno Rising Crust Microwavable Supreme Pizza is mediocre, expensive and the crust is inedible (meaning hard as rocks). This is what I get for buying food at 7-11 on my way home from Mai Thai. Also, it was one a.m. and the 7-11 was swarming with cops. They were just hanging out eating taquitos and reading magazines.

As a long time DiGiorno Pizza fan, I decided to try the new “Rising Crust Supreme Pizza. I prepared it in my conventional oven per the instructions on the package. After cutting the Pizza into six serving pieces I prepared to enjoy this new offering. The first bite told me that something was very different in the taste !!!!! I continued to eat the first piece and the strange taste was predominant through the entire piece. I tried a second piece with the same offensive taste. I tried to isolate the taste on the remaining pieces to see if it was caused by the meats, the cheese or the sauce. It seemed to be evident only when you take a complete bite of topping and crust.
I wrapped and scrapped the remaining pieces and decided to either go back to your basic “Supreme” or Pepperoni or try another brand. Suggest you sit
your Production and Lab people down and serve them a Rising Crust Supreme
Pizza and video their facial expressions !!!!!!

Love the rising crust Supreme and the Spicy Chicken Supreme, but, our very favorite, Deep Dish Supreme, was discontinued, I was told. Why? We are very disappointed! Any chance of bringing it back?

In two words, It Stinks! The crust is like eating lead, it’s so heavy. It doesn’t cook properly as the crust remains doughy and un-cooked in the center of every slice This is the Garlic Bread Pizza.. I managed to eat 2 slices before I gave up and threw it away! Even the dog wouldn’t eat it. How do you contact these clowns? Kraft doesn’t want to know you.

My husband and I are both fans of this pizza but not the microwave one. Everytime I cook it in the microwave the center get’s burnt and it’s rock hard.

My guy and I love DiGiorno pizza.We doctor it a little with extra onions,extra cheese,and turkey pepperoni.(We do this with all frozen pizza,not just DiGiorno.)We’ve found it to be just as good or better than the pizzeria pizzas in our area.However,the microwave DiGiornos really are not good.They are “cardboardy” tasting and not a good option for an individual meal. Those of you with unfavorable results with regular size pizzas–could it be your oven? I have a new electric range and use a regular pizza pan with nary a bad result.

After being a faithful customer of Red Baron Pizza my wife decided that she would try on of DiGiorno’s ‘Rising Crust’ style. We ate about half and disposed of the rest in the trash.

This small pizza is packed in a box nearly twice its size, which alludes to the fact that it is bigger than what you get.

What we got was a pizza made of bread dough, not pizza dough. It was made in a conventional oven as per instructions. The edges burned before the center was done. The taste was almost non-existant to bad, and when I tried to “doctor” it with some olive oil, garlic and red pepper it did absolutely nothing to improve the taste.

So we are going back to Red Baron when & if we eat pizza in again.

When I have eaten frozen pizza for a long time now I’ve chosen DiGiorno Supreme over the rest, sometimes with the cheese-filled crust. Today I tried the Supreme Rising Crust DiGiorno, and even though it cooked up perfectly in my conventional oven and tasted fair, I could not say that I liked it as much as the regular Supreme. When I choose DiGiorno again I will make sure I get the regular Supreme or the Supreme with the cheese-filled crust. Other than that I’ve always been happy with DiGiorno and it’s my first choice in frozen pizzas.

New DiGiorno Pizza for One. Just DON’T. Even cooked in the oven, instead of microwave: crust is HORRIBLE. What a shame… such a good idea.

[…] I say ‘no’ in the case of this pizza. Sure, DiGiorno got over the whole ‘We can make it rise in the microwave!‘ obsession, but they replaced that with conflicting flavor […]

I used one of those mini ovens and it is one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. I take them out of the freezer before I go to work and by lunch time, they are perfectly thawed out and ready to be cooked in only 8-10 minutes. My grocery store ran out recently. Hopefully they haven’t stopped carrying them.
