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!

Wolfgang Puck says: All natural cheese pizza with mozzarella, fontina and parmesan cheeses

Abi says: If you prefer astringent, watery chopped tomatoes to mellow, slow-cooked pizza sauce, then you’ll like Wolfgang Puck’s All Natural Cheese Pizza.

You’ll enjoy it if you adore pleasantly airy crust topped with light pink tomato water. If you’re also a cheese lover, you’ll be happy because this pizza comes topped with luscious cheese, all floating atop a lake of tart tomato juice.

I am none of those things and I do not prefer this new style of pizza. Biting in to that awful surprise, I realized that I’d have to take drastic measures. I lifted the cheese off of my pizza and scraped out the offending tomato water. This did not make it better. Instead it cooled the cheese into a single unappetizing mass. Left with little recourse, I reheated the pizza under the broiler, resliced it, and resolved to never go near this pizza again.

Lean Cuisine says: Grilled white meat chicken, sun dried tomatoes, red peppers, cheese and creamy pesto sauce in a soft flatbread

Andrea says: Wow guys, wow . . . I think this sandwich actually broke one of our microwaves with it’s awesomeness. Seriously, a minute into it’s 2:45 journey into my stomach the microwave just gave up and bowed down to the frozen meal gods.

My first reaction after taking this out of the box was “Woah, that’s actually a good bit of stuff here.” As I was watching it turn in it’s second microwave trip (after it killed the first microwave), the cheese started to melt and the pesto-y goodness started to ooze from beneath the massive amount of chicken, peppers, and tomatoes. The break room filled with the aroma of herbs and bell pepper, and my mouth was starting to salivate. The first bite produced an explosion of flavor and texture from the chicken that actually tasted like chicken, to the cheese that actually strung from the sandwich a la a pizza commercial or that Beefy Cheesy Taco Bell commercial that sends chills down my spine. The roasted red peppers were abundant in flavor and quantity, the sun-dried tomatoes were chewy yet provided a slight sweetness and the flat bread was soft, thick, filling and tasty! Unlike most nuked breads that are usually soggy and super dry at the same time, Lean Cuisine’s flat bread maintained it’s chewy structure that we all know and love in our flat breads. I guess if I had to write one negative thing about this meal, it was the amount of red peppers.. but I think that’s just me, if you’re a pepper person you’ll probably love the abundance of peppery love on this sandwich, complete with grill marks might I add.

I will definitely pick another Lean Cuisine Pesto Chicken flatbread, for the price it wasn’t bad and (hey!) I’m not hungry anymore! If you need more than a Lean Cuisine, I found it paired well with Doritos and grape Kool-aid.

Freschetta says: Inspired by traditional family recipes handed down for generations, Freschetta Brick Oven has a classic square shape, a crispy fire-baked crust and is topped with only the finest ingredients.

Abi says: My unending love affair with Freschetta pizza concluded with my consumption of this item. It is 8am the next morning and I can still taste the disappointment.

I looked forward to this pizza. It was on sale at Safeway (I bought it while filming unused shopping card footage for the Kid Cuisine video review), so I purchased this meal with the abandon I usually reserve for known products. When I finally pulled it out for a dinner, I realized that the baking time was considerably shorter than most pizzas. This needed a bake time of just 12 minutes. Score one for the new pizza.

When I pulled the amazingly baked after just 12 minutes pizza from the oven, I placed it on a cutting board and realized the genius of the brick oven pizza.

1. It is a square item in a square box. This means that while the pizza is thinner than other pizzas, it actually fills the box that it comes in.
2. Cutting a square pizza into reasonable slices is easy. Seriously, this is genius. Cutting pizza is a total pain unless you have one of those special cutter guides that they use at Costco (and they do not wash them in between uses - ew). Or, you might be a pizza-cutting pro like the folks who work at Abby’s Pizza, a place my parents used to tell me was named after me - don’t ever do that to your kids, it will totally make them think that they own a pizza parlor.
3. If your oven bakes unevenly (mine does not, the oven is the best-working thing in this apartment) this pizza will be easy to rotate.

With little difficulty, I cut the pizza into eight somewhat even slices, plated up three and took the pizza downstairs to watch the news during dinner. Each of my slices was a lovely amalgam of bright red sauce, melted cheese and pepperoni. I took a bite as was greeted by an uncomfortable burning sensation. I figured that while the crust of the pizza had cooled, perhaps the sauce was piping hot and that’s what did me in.

So I sat back for a minute to let me pizza cool. While watching the news I realized that every commercial was for products that I hope I will never need:

1. Lotion marketed to women with menopause-caused dry skin
2. Cold medicine for people with high blood pressure
3. Fiber Supplements
4. Impotence Drugs

Television news is for old people. And people who eat this pizza and end up with high blood pressure because it is so amazingly salty. You see, the sauce wasn’t hot. The pizza was so freaking salty that it burned my mouth. I like spicy, salty, mouth-burning, vindalooesque foods, so this pizza confused the bejeezus out of me. I couldn’t handle the salt? Could that be true? This pizza was so salty that I couldn’t even taste the sauce or cheese or the I-don’t-want-to-know-what-it-is meatiness of the pepperoni.

I sincerely appreciate the Schwann corporation and their dedication to making Freschetta pizza, but I wonder if I got a bum pie. A salty bum pie. Time for another glass of water.
