Frozen pizza isn’t usually my first pick at Trader Joe’s. I’d rather grab a ball of their fresh dough and add my own sauce and toppings. But the Organic Tomato Mozzarella Piccolo Pizza caught my eye. With naturally fermented dough (meaning the crust should actually have some flavor), and a $2.99 price point, I threw one in my basket.
Trader Joe’s Piccolo Pizza gets points for a totally clean ingredient list, without dough conditioners. But that also means this pizza doesn’t really brown much in the oven. The crust is fairly stiff, not chewy. And though it’s naturally fermented, I can’t say it has much more flavor than an average dough. For $2.99 it’s fine.
It serves 1 hungry person, or can be split between two people, if you’re just looking for a quick snack. You pop it in the oven for 10-12 minutes directly on the rack. The tomatoes give the pizza a fresh zing, without getting too watery.
For me, this is one you might keep in your freezer for pizza emergencies, or for those nights when you come home from work and want to eat something with minimal effort.
