Has anyone tried the new Rao's "brick oven" pizzas? Pretty expensive

Anonymous
Bought it on sale at Kroger’s for $9.00. Over priced at that. Just an average frozen pie. Nothing special. Freschetta at $3.99 is just as good.

Had it once a month or so back. Nothing special about it, which means it's overpriced. Wegmans brand frozen pizza is the brand to beat.

This was a couple of months ago and now they're retailing for $13, $14. For $2.99 it was great. Wouldn't pay $13, I'd rather go to 2 Amys.


I tried Amy's once and it was SO salty. And I love salt. But this literally tasted like someone accidentally dumped half a bottle of salt on the pizza.

They tasted good for a change.

No better than any other frozen pizza, not worth the money even on sale.

The sauce on the pizza is very sweet - I was surprised considering how much I love their jarred sauces

Not a fan - going back to my trusty Freschetta brick oven style

Just FYI, Sam’s stocks Rao’s marinara for $5/jar (x2). I usually do the Marcella Hazan one, but this is so easy for quick meals and affordable as the added-sugar brands.

I haven’t tried the pizza. If I skip making my own, I still haven’t found anything better than Red Baron with its spicy, not too sweet sauce.

Great. Just try it.

I've tried every frozen pizza I can get my hands on, and I concluded that frozen pizza is not worth splurging on. The difference between moderately priced and high priced pizzas isn't worth it because the difference in taste is not huge.

I sometimes buy the premium brands when they're on sale. The Whole Foods $2.99 pizza sale mentioned above was a heavensent gift I hope to see again, lol! Safeway and Giant usually have at least one brand on significant markdown.

Was disappointed. Love the sauce. Hope Campbell doesn’t ruin it.
