\"logo\"<\/a>It may not be delivery, it’s \u201cDigiorno<\/a>,\u201d but for me, another \u201cd\u201d word motivates me to buy this brand: \u201cdesperation.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Translation? I’m in the mood for a frozen pie and happen to be someplace where this is the only thing available. In the case of last night, at a 7-Eleven, where the self-rising pepperoni was priced at $6.99.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Opening the box, right away I don’t like it, there’s a weird \u201cchemical\u201d smell from the box, which isn’t from the vacuum sealed pizza, but rather ingredients or ink in the cardboard? In any regards, it’s unappealing to me.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pie-wise, I’m not a fan of thicker crusts. I prefer more cheese and toppings make up the calorie count, rather than bread.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Digiorno is owned by Nestle, along with Jack’s, Tombstone, and some other brands, it was part of a 2010 $3.7 billion acquisition from Kraft, who needed to raise money for other acquisitions. Regardless of what I personally think, apparently Digiorno is the number one frozen brand in the U.S. There’s a reason, I’m sure and it’s not to do with ‘value pricing,\u201d though I did see a woman earlier in the day at a grocery picking up a half dozen, as they were on sale for less than $4 a pop.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a very \u201cnon offensive,\u201d pizza, mild toppings, mild sauce, fairly adequate cheese, and it’s probably very filling for a family meal, due to the calories in the bread.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In all fairness, before this pizza hits by pie hole, it has been seriously altered at home, with more toppings, spices, and herbs. So it’s not a very unbiased ‘review.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pies are made at a massive factory in Little Chute, Wisconsin, at USDA establishment M5754. Little Chute is parked along the Fox River adjacent to the Appleton-Neenah area. (pix below).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The pies have a whole raft of ingredients, including the dreaded mechanically separated chicken, something I try and avoid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS:<\/b><\/span> ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMIN MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), WATER, LOW-MOISTURE PART-SKIM MOZZARELLA CHEESE (PART-SKIM MILK, CHEESE CULTURE, SALT, ENZYMES), PEPPERONI MADE WITH PORK, <\/i><\/span>CHICKEN AND BEEF (PORK, MECHANICALLY SEPARATED CHICKEN, BEEF, SALT, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF SPICES, DEXTROSE, PORK STOCK, LACTIC ACID STARTER CULTURE, OLEORESIN OF PAPRIKA, FLAVORING, SODIUM NITRITE, SODIUM ASCORBATE, PAPRIKA, NATURAL SMOKE FLAVOR, BHA, BHT, CITRIC ACID), TOMATO PASTE, SUGAR, 2% OR LESS OF WHEAT GLUTEN, VEGETABLE OIL (SOYBEAN OIL AND\/OR CORN OIL), DEGERMINATED WHITE CORN MEAL,<\/i>YEAST, SALT, DEGERMINATED YELLOW CORN MEAL, SEASONING BLEND (SALT,\u00a0<\/i><\/span>SPICE, DRIED GARLIC), BAKING POWDER (BAKING SODA, SODIUM ALUMINUM PHOSPHATE), DATEM, SODIUM STEAROYL LACTYLATE, ASCORBIC ACID (DOUGH CONDITIONER)<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
