Lean Cuisine says: Crunchy French bread topped with a flavorful tomato sauce accented with basil, garlic and onion. Topped with mozzarella cheese, savory Italian sausage, zesty pepperoni, mushrooms, and red and green bell peppers.

Becky says: I will fully admit that pizza ranks very highly on my list of favorite foods, right behind sushi. And when I realized that I haven’t bought this Lean Cuisine before, I was a bit taken aback. A pizza I haven’t tried?!

I get a little nervous about putting French bread in the microwave – it has a tendency to overcook into a rubbery dough brick very easily. However, I was surprised this time – the entire thing was cooked perfectly – crunchy (but not TOO crunchy) on the outside, and soft on the inside. The sauce was a surprise, too – a nice hearty tomato sauce, not sweet at all. And there was lots of it! That made me happy.

The actual toppings left a little to be desired, though. I had a hard time with the fact that there was one bite of the pizza that had cheese on it, and the veggies were pretty much non-existent (I saw green pepper, but had no idea that mushrooms were even there until I saw it on the box when I went to type this!) The sausage and pepperoni were plentiful, though – was glad to see that!

Will I get this again? Definitely – although it’s not superb, it is the best microwavable ‘healthy’ pizza I’ve found so far!

Try the LC 3-Meat pizza, it’s unstoppable in terms of meaty goodness and general awesomeness.

Rumor has it that there’s 12-Meat version on the horizon, but they’re having trouble getting the sauteed panda tenders through the FDA…

My favorite low-cal, microwave pizza is Healthy Choice French Bread, cheese, no meat.
