A couple of months back my mom and step dad were able to find and sample the new Udi’s frozen pizzas. I have been unable to find them in the Columbus area until our brand new Earth Fare store opened this week. Earth Fare not only carries all three varieties of the Udi’s pizzas, but they had coupons for them as well! The price of the pizzas were $7.49 each and then an additional $.75 off with the coupon.
I purchased the uncured pepperoni for Jon and the margherita pizza for me. I have to say that I felt a little mislead by the size of the pizza box, as the actual pizza inside is much smaller. The nutritional label says there are 2 servings, but I was able to eat the whole thing and a large salad. I don’t mind the size, it was just misleading. In addition to being gluten-free, the pizza is also free of soy.

The pizza after baking – note, this is a normal-size dinner plate.
Not quite as pretty as the picture on the box, but still tasted good. I liked the combination of flavors in this pizza, but I think I prefer the plain Udi’s pizza crust topped with my own toppings. I am not sure if they use the same crust for the frozen pizzas, but it didn’t taste like it. It is possible that being frozen topped with sauce and cheese could have had an effect on the crust as well. I do think it is great to have these options available in stores for times when a quick, simple meal is needed. These are great for when your children visit a friend or relative and they need a safe meal.
Udi’s frozen pizzas can be found at most Whole Foods store locations. Like I said, I found mine at Earth Fare, but please call to check your local Earth Fare before making a trip just for this pizza. If you haven’t subscribed to Udi’s newsletter yet, you can do so here and get a $1.00 off coupon after you sign up.
I just had this for the first time….very disappointed. I liked the crust but that’s about it. They didn’t add enough toppings or put them on right and I actually thought the top tasted soggy.
Andria,
Please contact Udi’s Gluten-Free and let them know. I am sure that they would want to know about any issues, as they pride themselves on making quality products.
