Bambino says:No Artificial Preservatives. No Artificial Flavors. Keep Frozen.

Josh says: It’s a good thing there are 4 of those little pizzas in the box. For one thing, an individual little pizza isn’t big enough to serve as a complete meal for me. But the more importantly is that I was able to heat these pizzas with two different cooking styles. Two I warmed up in the microwave and the others I heated in a toaster oven. The pizzas pictured were cooked in the microwave.

The first round was ‘baked’ via the microwave method. It was a rather unimpressive product and I was thoroughly disappointed by the lack of flavor in the pizza. All I got was a temporary satisfaction to my hunger pains. Don’t microwave these TJ’s pizzas; they lack an ever-important crisping tray.

On the second go-around I used the toaster oven and formed a much better opinion of Trader Giotto’s work. The bread crisps up nicely and the pizzas had a decent flavor. There’s still too much sauce in the sauce-to-cheese ratio. But overall, these pizzas are a decent product when toaster-oven-heated.

Awe, no one commented on this review. Don’t worry Josh, everyone read it but just didn’t feel like talking.
Thanks for the review. I shall not buy this product, especially since I don’t own a toaster oven. But do try some of Trader Jiotto’s other imported (large) pizzas, because I took one of those out of my oven last week (four cheese, no mozzarella) and really liked it. It looked kind of like those but bigger/cheesier though, so you might not like it any better. It was baked in an ‘old style oven’ originally though if that makes a difference
