California Pizza Kitchen says: Crispy thin crust pizza topped with zesty marinara sauce, Italian sausage, reduced fat mozzarella cheese, fontina cheese, spicy ham, salami, parmesan cheese, and basil.

Becky says: I’ve been pretty spoiled this week – being stuck in all day meetings means ordering lunch with the company’s money. So, to celebrate the return to my desk, and the simple fact that it’s Friday, I’m treating myself to this completely non-healthy pizza (I’m leaving it up to Abi to figure out the WW points for this puppy…).

This pizza has potential, it really does. If only they had actually remembered to put sauce on it, then we’d be in business. The directions were straightforward and easy to understand; they went so far to suggest that I set the pizza to the side of the microwave while cooking it to ensure even cooking. Of course, I tried this, and by golly, it works - the pizza was evenly dry all around! After Abi’s disastrous experience with the cooking tray on her DiGiorno For One Garlic Bread Crust Supreme Pizza, I made sure to put a plate under my tray. Fortunately, the only thing that oozed off was a little cheese. Hmm, I guess that’s what happens when you forget to put the sauce on a pizza.

As far as toppings go, I was glad to see that they were evenly distributed, and cooking did not cause them to dry out at all. And cheese! With 22g of fat (and 8g saturated!) in this thing, there sure as heck better be cheese. It was present and fulfilled all cheese requirements. I’m so used to eating Lean Cuisine pizza that the notion of cheese on a pizza was a concept nearly lost to me. Thank you, California Pizza Kitchen, for bringing the memory back. I’ll just ignore the fact that I’ll be eating salad for dinner-dry salad-to make up for this dieting catastrophe of a lunch.

For future pizzas, repeat after me: “Sauce is good. Sauce is good…”

I finally got around to trying this pizza last week (forgetting I had read the review) and the sauce thing honestly didn’t even jump out at me - I am sure it was because I was SO surprised that the actual taste/consistency/flavor was SO good. I will definitely buy these again.
