I've eaten Against the Grain breads before, but I haven't tried their frozen pizza. (The rolls are great as hamburger buns, but quite expensive; and the baguettes are wonderful too, but also expensive.)
I saw the pizza at Earth Fare, but I didn't buy it for quite some time. It cost $10.99 for a 12 inch pizza, and frankly I haven't been very happy with any Gluten-Free Frozen pizza that I've tried. I kept hoping it would go on sale so I wouldn't feel too bad trying it. Today I saw it and I decided, what the heck! I know I like their bread, and the price really isn't bad for a GF pizza that big.
They had 2 flavors to choose from: Three-cheese, or Nut-free Pesto. I chose the Nut-free Pesto. The first thing that really impressed me about this pizza was the that there is a huge window in the box so you can actually see the pizza you are getting. No more getting home and opening a box and thinking, "Boy this sure doesn't look like the picture on the box."
Then I got it home and couldn't wait to try it. This is the FIRST frozen pizza I've ever bought that I didn't feel like I needed to add more cheese! I cooked it on a perforated pizza pan, it did take longer to cook than the instructions said, but that could be my oven. I think next time I will cook it right on the rack, like they suggest, for a crispier crust. When I bit into this pizza it tasted like I was eating a pizza from a pizza parlor. I am so pleased with the pizza. It was well worth the $10.99. After all when if I got a pizza from Zpizza with pesto and mozzarella cheese it would cost me $10.25 for a 10" pizza. That's a smaller pizza for about the same amount of money, and I don't have to drive all the way to Zpizza. (You see it's not very close to our house.)
All in all, I'm very pleased with the Against the Grain Frozen Nut-free Pesto Pizza. At least 4 stars, maybe even 5, but I'm not sure if it the time it says on the box is the right amount of time to cook the pizza.
