Freshetta By The Slice :: Review and Giveaway
Posted by Alli on April 26, 2011
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of FRESCHETTA® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
There are plenty of annoying and earth shattering things out there in the world… and what I’m about to gripe about isn’t one of them. But it still annoys me. Frozen pizza for one person that is a decent price.
It seems like if you want a pizza at home, you have to cook an entire one to be eaten by the entire family or to be sliced up and have the left overs stored in the fridge. If you buy single serving pizzas, they usually cost $4 or more dollars. Heck, for one dollar more I’ll just go pick up a fresh and ready for the whole family. Or for two dollars more, I’ll get a frozen one for the whole family.
Well, Freshetta has changed the personal frozen pizza game by offering FRESCHETTA® By the Slice (found in the freezer section) for less than $2.
Disclosure: I was provided one of these slices for free. I bought the other three because I couldn’t leave out my husband and kids.
I was asked to provide my opinion on the FRESCHETTA® By the Slice product. So today, I hunted for the product (found at Wal-Mart, which is not my favorite shopping place), brought it home and here are my opinions:
Ease of use: the instructions were a tad confusing at first, telling me to put the slice on the side of the turntable and then again in the middle. The disconnect came for me when the entire slice covered my turntable (testament to the bigness of the slice). So, I just turned it after a minute.
Even these helpful diagrams didn’t help. I blame allergies.
Taste/ quality: Even though I was scratching my head over the directions, the outcome was actually favorable. In my opinion, the taste of the slice was pretty good. I picked the Vegetable Medley to be the subject of my review and over all I felt like I was eating pizza I had purchased from a restaurant last night and was enjoying reheated the next day. The crust wasn’t tough (as I find a lot of frozen personal pizza crusts to be) and the sauce was very good. Only the peppers had that reconstituted/ overcooked taste and texture that frozen peppers always get.
Because of the price, I think I would get these again. Though I am bummed they do not offer a sausage or pepperoni option, so maybe not often. The flavors available are BBQ Recipe Chicken, Six Cheese Medley, Chicken, Spinach & Mushroom, and Vegetable Medley.
If you are curious, already a big fan, or looking to connect with the folks at Freschetta, then you should definitely follow FRESCHETTA® on Twitter at @FreschettaPizza and like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/freschettapizza.
Oh, and the blog title mentioned something about a giveaway, right? Well, leave a comment on this post and I’ll pick a comment (using Random.org) and mail the winner a coupon for their own free slice. And as a bonus, there will be a set of plastic storage containers as well. (Disclosure: I was given the same plastic storage containers.) I’ll pick a winner on Friday, April 29th (aka Arbor Day!). Happy commenting!

Sounds good. I need pizza fpr pne, living alone. I buy mediums and then eat it all which is not good for a diabetic. Will look for this at Krpoger’s as well as at WalMart.
