Frozen Pizza Breakdown

January 29, 2009

I'll admit that when I need a quick meal, a frozen pizza sure comes in handy. It's easy, the kids love it, and many are made with wholesome ingredients, so they're not as bad for you as ordering a pie from your local pizzeria. If you ever wanted to know how all the frozen pizzas at the health-food store compare then check out this chart organized by brand that I made.

1/3 of Pizza	Calories	Saturated Fat (g)	Sodium (mg)	Carbs (g)	Fiber (g)	Protein (g)
Kashi Five Cheese Tomato	290	3.5	570	37	4	14
Kashi Mediterranean	290	4	640	37	5	15
Kashi Roasted Garlic Chicken	300	4.5	650	39	4	16
Kashi Thin Crust Roasted Vegetable	250	4	630	28	4	14
Kashi Thin Crust Mushroom Trio & Spinach	250	4.5	660	28	4	14

To see the others how other brands compare, just read more.

1/3 of Pizza	Calories	Saturated Fat (g)	Sodium (mg)	Carbs (g)	Fiber (g)	Protein (g)
Frontera Sausage and Roasted Pepper	300	4	580	42	2	15
Frontera Four Cheese	310	5	520	42	3	16
Wolfgang Puck Margherita	330	6	700	36	2	15
Wolfgang Puck Barbecue Chicken	360	6	800	40	2	18
Wolfgang Puck Uncured Pepperoni	360	8	870	32	2	16
Amy's Kitchen Pesto	310	3.5	480	39	2	12
Amy's Kitchen Margherita	250	3.5	550	32	2	11
Amy's Kitchen Cheese	290	5	590	33	2	12
Amy's Kitchen Roasted Vegetable	270	1.5	490	42	2	6
Amy's Kitchen Mushroom and Olive	250	3	560	33	2	10
Amy's Kitchen Veggie Combo	300	3	680	36	1	10
Amy's Kitchen Spinach	310	4	590	39	2	12

As you can see, for the most part, these pizzas are fairly healthy. They contain a good amount of protein, and the Kashi pizzas are also high in fiber. It's the sodium content you have to watch out for, especially because most people eat half the pizza rather than the suggested one-third serving. I'd aim for choosing the ones that contain 700 mg of sodium or less, and five or less grams of saturated fat. Of course, the ones loaded with veggies are probably your best option.

You have to try AC LaRocco Pizza, it’s the healthiest pizza on the planet and it’s delicious!!! All of AC LaRocco’s pizzas are high in fiber and whole grains, a good source of protein while being light in sodium (they offer the pizza with the lowest sodium on the market), low in fat and low in calories. All of the pizzas are made with organic and all natural ingredients and 7 out of 8 of their pizzas are vegetarian. They use fresh frozen vegetables, frozen within 4 to 6 hours of harvest to lock in the highest level of nutrients. They are Diabetic and Weight Watchers Friendly (4-5 points for 1/2 of a pizza depending on the variety). You can eat an entire pizza for under 650 calories and still get more than 50 grams of whole grains, more than 30 grams of protein and fiber!!!! You can find AC LaRocco pizzas in your natural frozen foods case in grocery stores nationwide.

I liked the Kashi ones, I topped mine with extra veggies and some pastured pork sausage. Yummy on top of yummy. Obviously a lot of us on the boards would make pizza ourselves, but sometimes its nice to have a healthier option for back up.

Dana18, most frozen entrees and pizzas have a large amount of sodium...that's why I try to not eat them too often.

The Kashi ones are my favorite! I love everything they make.

The sodium level of these pizza are so high. I never knew this. I'm so happy I make my own pizza at home.

I'm not a big frozen pizza fan, so I'll probably skip these. My husband really likes his frozen pepperoni pizza, but maybe I can get him to try one of these healthier ones.

I love Southbeach Diet's Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Pizza. It has a whole-grain crust, and I cook it in the oven until it's crisp- it's yummy and the WHOLE pizza is right in line w/ the others listed here nutritionally.

When I make frozen pizza, I buy one and then load it up with all the different types of veggies I have in the fridge. It starts lame and regular and ends up just fantastic, my husband even loves a loaded veggie pizza.

I love Amy's soy cheese pizza! I add garlic, tomato, broccoli, and onion. Yum!

So hard to eat half of one of those pizzas much less 1/3! My favorite is the Amy's Pesto with broccoli and tomato but it's a rare treat. If anything I'll make my own single serving pizza - buying a whole one is too tempting.

I love Amy's Roasted Vegetable (cheeseless!) pizza... Trader Joe's has an identical version for a fraction of the price :)

I actually like Lean Cuisine Margarita Pizza because it's a good serving size, about 350 calories with a good amount of protein. A bit more fat than these listed though, and probably not as much fiber.

My roomate made some frozen pesto pizza (bought at Target but I forget which brand) and it was awful! I am sure that it was "healthier" than say DiGornio's but it tasted like cardboard with flavorless cheese. The thing had absolutely no taste to it!

I tried the Kashi pizza one time and did not like it at all. I actually love California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas. I know the thin crust ones are about the same calorie wise. I don't know about fat and sodium and the other things.
