I thought I was the perfect person to taste, review, and rank frozen pizzas for the Simply Recipes Grocery Awards. I’m married to an Italian American from New Jersey, I eat pizza all the time in New Jersey and in New York City, and I have a lot of opinions. Imagine my shock, and not the good kind, when one of the pizzas that arrived at my doorstep was gluten-free.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
I have always been unabashedly pro-gluten. I have a breakfast and brunch blog that leans heavily on biscuits, after all. So, I never imagined that a gluten-free pizza could win me over. Yet, here I am, writing all about how Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Cheese Pizza completely shocked me and my entire family with its deliciousness. I walked into this tasting expecting to rank it near the bottom. Instead, it emerged as the hands-down winner, leaving its gluten-filled competitors in the dust.\n<\/p>\n Simply Recipes \/ Trader Joe’s\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n The first thing that struck me about this pizza was the crust. It\u2019s impressively crispy\u2014not the crumbly, cardboard-like texture I\u2019ve come to associate with many gluten-free products. There was plenty of cheese, although not the cheese-pulling amount, but tasty and not overly salty. The tomato sauce was another standout: tangy, bright, and perfectly seasoned with a hint of sweetness and herbal notes of oregano and basil. It added the right balance of acidity and sweetness to the pizza.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n The preparation couldn\u2019t have been simpler. I followed the package directions and placed it on a baking sheet at 425\u00b0F for about 12 minutes. The edges turned a lovely golden color, the bottom was surprisingly crispy, and the cheese developed those irresistible brown spots that make any pizza feel a little more gourmet.\n<\/p>\n I cooked the second pizza (yes, I liked it enough to buy another one) directly on the rack and added an extra two minutes to the baking time, but the crust did not get any crispier. I added a little crushed red pepper and some grated Parmesan (we call it sprinkle cheese), but honestly, it didn\u2019t need any extras to shine.\n<\/p>\n What set this pizza apart is how much it didn\u2019t feel like a compromise. Even as someone who doesn\u2019t avoid gluten, I would gladly choose this over most traditional frozen pizzas. It\u2019s perfect for those hectic weeknights when you want something quick and satisfying without sacrificing quality or flavor.\n<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re gluten free by necessity or simply curious, Trader Joe\u2019s Gluten Free Cheese Pizza deserves a spot in your freezer. It\u2019s proof that gluten free doesn\u2019t have to mean flavor-free and that sometimes, breaking out of your culinary comfort zone can lead to the most delightful surprises.\n<\/p>\n To learn more about our approach to product recommendations, see HERE.<\/em><\/sub>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n #Trader #Joes #Freezer #Find #Good<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I thought I was the perfect person to taste, review, and rank frozen pizzas for the Simply Recipes Grocery Awards.
