Screamin’ Sicilian Holy Pepperoni

Screamin’ Sicilian Holy Pepperoni is also on the lower end calorie-wise, with 330 cals per serving. This pizza has the lowest sodium by a significant margin, and the lowest carbs and sugar, which indicates the crust and sauce are balanced with the cheese and toppings.

Home Run Inn Pepperoni Frozen Pizza

Home Run Inn Pepperoni Frozen Pizza is higher in calories and saturated fat than some other options, but has decent fiber from the crust. Sodium is good, and so is protein.

RED BARON® Brick Oven Pepperoni Pizza

RED BARON® Brick Oven Pepperoni Pizza ties for lowest calories with 330 cals per serving. This option contains moderate sodium levels and reasonable carbs, and slighter higher sugar than the rest.

DiGiorno Rising Crust Ultimate Pepperoni with Cheese

DiGiorno Rising Crust Ultimate Pepperoni with Cheese has the lowest saturated fat on the list, and contains moderate calories and sodium. The crust is not ultraprocessed, which is a bonus, but it is very high in carbs.

Tombstone Pepperoni Pizza

Tombstone Pepperoni Pizza has high carbs, and moderate sodium. The calorie count is not excessive, which is a plus.

Totino’s Pepperoni Party Pizza Pack

Totino’s Pepperoni Party Pizza has the lowest protein from all the pizzas listed, just 9 g per serving, which indicates much less actual cheese and meat. This factor combined with the high carb count means there is more crust, and this pizza is overall lower in nutrition compared to the rest.

Torn Packaging

Torn packaging usually means someone was rough unpacking it, and it was thrown around a lot before finally making it to the supermarket freezer. Chances are if the packaging is severely messed up, the pizza itself will probably be broken, which isn’t a total disaster but definitely an annoyance when trying to cook it.

Mishapen Packaging

Misshapen packaging could just be carelessness, but it could also mean there’s some sort of bacterial growth going on inside. Typically this means the bacteria are releasing gas. “If the food is days or even weeks beyond the printed expiration date and the package is bloated in a way that is not supposed to be in its normal and original packaging, it is always a good idea to just discard such food for safety reasons,” says Wei Zhang, professor of food science and food safety specialist at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Old Labels

Old and faded labels indicate food that’s been sitting there for a while—always check the sell-by date, and if you can’t see one, don’t buy that pizza. “Manufacturers provide dating to help consumers and retailers decide when food is of best quality. Except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of the product’s safety and are not required by Federal law,” the USDA says.

Soft Packaging

Frozen packaging should be cold to the touch and firm, and soft packaging can indicate something was thawed and reached the right temperature yet. “Discard foods that have been warmer than 40 °F for more than 2 hours. Discard any foods that have been contaminated by raw meat juices. Dispose of soft or melted ice cream for quality’s sake,” the USDA says.

Ice Crystals

One of the major red flags any shopper should look out for when buying frozen pizza (or any frozen goods) is signs of temperature fluctuations. If you see ice crystals on the inside of a frozen pizza box, be careful. This is a sign the pizza has been thawed and refrozen, which causes the large crystals to form. If you don’t know how long the food was thawed for or how many times, it could be a food safety issue and simply not worth the risk.

Rao’s Homemade Five Cheese

I am a big fan of the entire Rao’s Homemade line, and the pizza is no exception. The Five Cheese Pizza features Rao’s Homemade sauce, made with “naturally sweet, vine-ripened Italian tomatoes and fresh basil,” slathered on a brick-oven crust and topped with whole-milk Mozzarella, whole-milk Provolone, Fontina, Romano, and Parmesan. It’s a hit in my family. “It was surprisingly good—great texture, good dough, and no funky aftertaste. I was honestly impressed by how good it was for a frozen pizza. Definitely worth it for a quick, low-effort lazy dinner or lunch,” a shopper writes.

Amy’s Kitchen Margherita

Amy’s is always reliable in terms of high-quality, organic, and non-GMO certified ingredients. Its frozen pizzas are no exception. They are organic, vegetarian, and made without hydrogenated oils or artificial preservatives—just clean, wholesome ingredients that you can pronounce. “Delicious, imo similar to a wood fired thin crust pizza you would find at a restaurant, it’s their crust that makes all the difference,” a Redditor writes.

Talia di Napoli Margherita

Handmade in Naples and sold at Whole Foods, Talia di Napoli pizzas are flash-frozen after being baked in wood-fired ovens, with fresh, authentic Italian ingredients and no additives or preservatives. To give you an idea about how wholesome it is, this pizza had the shortest ingredient list of all the pizzas we researched.

Capello’s Almond Flour Cheese

If you are on a grain-free diet but still love pizza, consider popping a Capello’s pizza in the oven on pizza night. The grain- and gluten-free pie uses almond-flour crusts and carefully sourced, high-quality toppings, focusing on real, whole-food ingredients, including whole-milk mozzarella and their homemade pizza sauce.

Banza Four Cheese Chickpea

If you love Banza chickpea pasta, you should try the brand’s pizza, one of the cleanest and healthiest brands on the market. Made with chickpea crusts, it is a high-protein, high-fiber, low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional pizzas, with no artificial ingredients or preservatives. While the cheesy version includes lots of gooey varieties, Banza also offers an extensive selection of vegan pizzas.

Tombstone Original Pizza Crust Pepperoni

Calories: 340 calories per 1/4 pizza

Tombstone’s original crust pepperoni pizza is recommended to be cooked in the oven, but even crisping it up in the oven unfortunately couldn’t save this. It’s starting off as the weakest on the list due to its thin, flimsy looking crust and pale appearance. Sadly, my first impressions held up, and the pizza was not good. The crust was ok, not as bad as it looked, but the biggest problem for me was the pepperoni. It says that it’s made with pork, chicken, and beef, but I wonder what else because it tasted noticeably artificial and had, almost like a chemical taste. Out of all the pizzas I tried, this one felt the most processed and least enjoyable.

Ellio’s Pepperoni Pizza

Calories: 280 calories per 2 slices

Ellio’s can be cooked in the oven, air fryer, or toaster oven, and it definitely brings a lot of nostalgia to the table. It reminds me of school cafeteria pizza, which can be oddly comforting. In fact, I’m about 99% sure it’s the same kind my high school sold. That said, the crust is cardboard-ish, and the pizza tends to be extremely light on cheese. The pepperoni flavor is good, but it always needs a little extra cheese added towards the end of the cook time. It’s enjoyable if you’re chasing nostalgia, but overall there are better frozen pizzas available.

Red Baron Classic Crust Supreme Pizza

Calories: 310 calories per 1/5 pizza

I tried to stick with pepperoni, but since the pepperoni version wasn’t available, I tried the supreme version of the classic crust Red Baron pizza with sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, red peppers, and onions. It can be cooked either directly on the oven rack or in a pan, and from first appearances, looks pretty good. This pizza was a noticeable improvement over the previous options, but still just ok. The vegetables added a lot of flavor, and the sausage was particularly good. The pepperoni tasted slightly off, which kept it from ranking higher on the list, but overall the mix of toppings helped balance the flavor.

Tony’s Pepperoni Pizza

Calories: 330 calories per 1/4 pizza

Tony’s, another well-known brand, recommends baking their pizzas in the oven. As I pulled it out of the oven, the thin crust had a bit of a cardboard-like texture, and it didn’t automatically look super appetizing. That said, there’s also something nostalgic about it. It reminded me of a giant Pizza Lunchable, flavor-wise. The pepperoni was noticeably better than the previous pizzas, making this a solid, inexpensive frozen pizza option. Still though, don’t expect much.

PICS Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza

Calories: 330 calories per 1/6 pizza

When it comes to PICS Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza, this store-brand frozen pizza must be baked in the oven (the instructions specifically say not to microwave it). The rising crust is fluffy and substantial, which makes the pizza feel much closer to a real pizzeria-style slice. The pepperoni grease soaked into the crust a bit, giving it extra flavor, and the cheese melted evenly. For a grocery store brand, this pizza was a pleasant surprise and easily outperformed some big brand competitors.

DiGiorno Rising Crust Ultimate Pepperoni

Calories: 330 calories per 1/5 pizza

DiGiorno is one of the most popular frozen pizza brands in the game, and this Ultimate Pepperoni Rising Crust version exemplifies why. The crust is soft, airy, and thick, making it feel much closer to delivery-style pizza. The pepperoni tastes fresh and flavorful without any of the artificial, fake taste some of the other frozen pizza toppings had. It’s a major step up in quality compared to most frozen pizzas. DiGiorno clearly has their reputation for a reason.

Screamin’ Sicilian Pizza Company Holy Pepperoni Pizza

Calories: 330 calories per 1/5 pizza

Taking the top spot is the Screamin’ Sicilian Holy Pepperoni Pizza, which lives up to its name. It comes loaded with piles of pepperoni, real mozzarella cheese, and a flavorful tomato sauce. The standout feature here is the quality of the pepperoni. It has a noticeable kick of spice and tastes much more natural than many frozen pizza options. This pizza delivers bold bright flavor, generous toppings, and an overall high quality taste that stood out from the others. It was a close call between the Screamin’ Sicilian and DiGiorno, but the amount and the flavor of the pepperoni pushed this one into first place.

Best I’ve had in 50 years of pizza eating!”

DiGiorno Five Cheese Frozen Pizza with Cheese Stuffed Crust

Another popular cheese option is the DiGiorno Five Cheese Frozen Pizza with Cheese Stuffed Crust with two and a half feet of cheese. “I was skeptical because a few years ago I tried every frozen brand trying to find the best cheese pizza and they were all so flavorless. My kids only eat cheese. In my efforts to save money on delivery pizza I decided to try this one. My kids always want the cheese in the crust. This turned out to be quite good, maybe even better than delivery, and WAY cheaper. I will continue to buy this as long as it continues to taste yummy,” one writes. “Every Friday my family has pizza night and my kids always asked for cheese filled crust pizza- this is the best and my kids love it so much!! Super easy and affordable,” adds another.

What Makes a Crave-Worthy Calzone

According to Chef Dennis, “A great calzone begins with well-made dough that bakes into a crisp, golden crust while remaining tender inside.” He explains, “The filling must be balanced and properly portioned, allowing the cheese, sauce, and ingredients to work together without overwhelming the structure of the dough, creating a satisfying and flavorful experience in every bite.”
