  • Flavor: Many loved the basil pesto and mozzarella combo, though some found it a bit bland and wanted more seasoning.
  • Ease of prep: Customers appreciated how quick and easy it was to pop in the oven for a delicious meal 🍕.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more cheese, spreading toppings to the edges, and cooking longer for a crispier crust.
  • Portions: Some felt it was small for two adults; pairing with soup or salad made it a more filling meal.
  • Crust: The fluffy, airy crust was a hit for many, but some preferred a thinner option with more toppings.

Love this! Very easy to pop into the oven for a quick and delicious meal. Will definitely get again. Basil sauce is fabulous. My husband loved this as well and he normally likes meat on his pizza, but did not miss it on this very flavorful pizza.

Again fantastic crust. Might just be the best thick crust pizza I've ever had as far as the crust is concerned. A touch more sauce and cheese (maybe a few fresh sliced tomatoes on top) would have been appreciated but overall this was very delicious and flavorful.

The crust was light and airy, and the basil pesto added just the right amount of seasoning. Delicious.

The pizza is great but the directions should be changed. With the max recommended time, the pizza is still undercooked. I would suggest at least 375, for 20-25 minutes to get it fully cooked. Also, put the pizza directly on the rack in the oven with no cookie sheet.

This was very tasty-a bit more like focaccia than pizza (so, the dough seems like it has risen twice instead of once), but we were fans and would definitely get again.

Fantastic. I think I like the sausage pizza just a little better, but this was still really tasty. Because it was in the 80's, I decided to bake it on my grill. Turned out great!

I added a barbecue drizzle and some pepperoni and this was delicious but I would spread the mozzarella more because it didn't melt much so there were bites that were just mozzarella and it was a little gross. The pesto was amazing and as someone with a nut allergy I really appreciated that you have a nut free pesto.

Could've used more cheese and sauce. Plus serving size needs to be bigger to serve 2 grown adults for lunch. I paired it with soup and salad and made it a meal though.

Rather than sweet treats in the early evening I made one of the pizzas so healthy and yet just enough to turn off that gnawing in our brains for something to eat, once you eat this pizza you're full.

I was actually surprised at how much I loved this pizza! Unlike any other premade pizza I've ever had. Can't wait to try the other varieties.
