Freschetta PizzAmoré Pepperoni Duo
My favorite food is pizza, but I’m not a pizza snob. I like just about any type, including frozen pizzas and the stuff you find in cafeterias. Freschetta has a new line of frozen pizzas called PizzAmoré, and I recently tried the Pepperoni Duo variety for the first time. There are a few things about this pizza that supposedly set it apart from others. First, the pizza is cooked in a plastic tray, which is designed to cook the crust evenly and so that it is crispy from the center to the edge. Second, the pizza is pre-sliced for the truly lazy who don’t want to bother with getting the pizza cutter out of the drawer. The cooking tray didn’t work as advertised. In fact, the pizza had one of the limpest crusts I’ve ever had on a frozen pizza. The pre-slicing is a nice gimmick, but I actually enjoy slicing up my own pie. The taste of the pizza was pretty forgettable. Not bad, but there are definitely better frozen pizzas on the market, such as DiGiorno and California Pizza Kitchen. Take my advice and go with one of those rather than PizzAmoré.
Phoood rating: 
I tried the Freschetta 4 meat one and it was bad. The bacon in particular had to be about the lowest quality meat possible.
Posted by: Stacy L. at October 28, 2008 10:35 AMI've never been a big fan of Freschetta pizzas. I always thought their idea of having sauce stuffed crust was odd. I haven't had this pizza yet, but the idea of having the crust pre-cut seems really goofy. Wouldn't the cheese melt the pieces together and you'd have to re-cut anyhow? One of the only good frozen pizzas is the Home Run Inn brand (I don't know if they are available outside Chicago).
