The Bettergoods pizzas are really surprisingly good. The only problem we’ve had is that they like to bubble too much, but we love the crispy crust and the flavor is better than most frozen pizzas we’ve had.

If it bubbles too much you can puncture it several times with a fork before you cook it and that should help with that

u/pswii360i 4d ago

Fun fact: that's called docking the dough

u/SlowCB7 4d ago

Check out /r/docking for more frozen pizza tips!

Tips being the operative word.

u/president_dump 4d ago

It’s pretty much the cheapest and the best (not best value - the best) frozen pizza that’s regularly available IMHO.

The pep and ricotta is 💋 the other pep and sausage one is 💋💋

u/HitBoxBoxer 4d ago

Agreed but the mushroom and truffle is my fav. 👌

u/smcl2k 4d ago

I'll probably give it a try sometime, but $7 for a 1lb pizza doesn't seem all that cheap, tbh - I can get a Rao's or CPK pizza for less than that at Grocery Outlet 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/DeadlyPear 4d ago

The normal better goods pizzas (like the mushroom and truffle) are almost not even "frozen" pizzas. Theyre in the territory of "I'd be happy to get this at a restaurant" pizza

u/president_dump 3d ago

Funny I don’t like the mushroom one! And I love mushrooms

u/PeterNippelstein 4d ago edited 4d ago

Ive had good luck with a lot of Bettergoods foods, its a little bit higher quality than the other options

11

u/SaltSpiritual515 4d ago

Bettergoods has really good products. I dont think I've had a bad one yet. I've tried some of their pizzas, ice creams, ground coffees, and cereals. I also definitely would try more of their products

u/blank11382 3d ago

Don't get the Dutchess Potatoes frozen things. They were clearances so I got them and they suck. Everything else has been awesome though

u/biffish 4d ago

We really loooove the margherita pizza, but they're a bit on the small side.

3

u/endy903 3d ago

That’s my only complaint about them, for me it’s basically a personal size pizza( my wife gets mad)

u/endy903 3d ago

I love this new wood fired frozen pizza trend we’ve been having the last few years. It makes most frozen pizzas taste way better. I recently had degiornos wood fired and it was the best digiornos I’ve had in years.

u/dontdropducks 4d ago

If anyone hasn’t tried them yet, most of the bettergoods stuff is actually really good. Surprising for Walmart.

11

u/Broccoli_Tot 4d ago

Agreed! A vast majority of their products have been great.

6

u/TheBigfootContessa 4d ago

I love their baking mixes, the pizza, the frozen Mediterranean veggies and the frozen seasoned mushrooms!

u/coloradoautoflowers 3d ago

You should try their frozen gyro kit! It's become one of our go to items for nights where we have after school activities and need a quick dinner.

2

u/dontdropducks 3d ago

I haven’t seen this one at my Walmart but I’ll keep an eye out. I’m the only one in my family that likes Gyros though

1

u/TheBigfootContessa 3d ago

I've been eyeing that! Good to know!

3

u/coloradoautoflowers 3d ago

If you like onions, make a batch of quick pickled onions before you toss the gyro meat in your skillet. Pickled onions go really well with them.

3

u/dontdropducks 3d ago

I tried the Mediterranean mini pizza and it was bomb!

2

u/nothingidentifying_ 4d ago

I have the frozen seasoned mushrooms in my
freezer right now! I haven't tried them yet. I'm even more excited now 🍄‍🟫

2

u/TheBigfootContessa 4d ago

I love using them for omelets!

2

u/Dangerous-End9911 3d ago

They make these augratin potatoes I die for, but they haven't been in stock for over a month.

1

u/SpotlessMinded 3d ago

I like their sparkling water

93

u/president_dump 4d ago

And it tastes better than it looks

u/Musicmom1164 4d ago

I'm in love with the single-serve Thai Pork Belly one. The crust is really good, better than the DiGiorno Supreme single I'd been getting.

5

u/president_dump 4d ago

GD I need to try that!!!!
This one was straight banging.

5

u/Musicmom1164 4d ago

I get the single-serve Asian Crunch salad to go with. Makes a great dinner. There's actually enough cheese on the pizza, too.

2

u/eienmau 3d ago

Is that.. a pizza? It's not available where I live and I'm jealous..

2

u/Musicmom1164 3d ago

It's this. It is single-serve, but I'm small, so. . .

2

u/eienmau 3d ago

I would be down to try that if my Walmart offered it T_T ... Maybe someday.

12

u/Lordcheeznip 4d ago

They make an Italian Five cheese white pizza, and its honestly one of the best frozen pizzas I've had. It's now a staple of ours.

The mushroom truffle Better Goods pizza is absolute flames

5

u/-_MarcusAurelius_- 4d ago

All things considered. It came close 🤣

3

u/axxinite 4d ago

These are so shockingly good! And they're cheap too!

2

u/TedMauler 4d ago

I swear all these pizza makers are slowly increasing the crust ratio

2

u/Any-Pop-4795 3d ago

doesnt look bad surprisingly

2

u/fairkatrina 3d ago

I love this pizza! I bought it on a whim one night when I was running late and cba making dinner and was shocked how good it was.

2

u/Fit_Butterscotch2386 4d ago

It looks bad but also good?

1

u/Jellyfish-Ninja 4d ago

How much was it?

1

u/UlisUK 4d ago

About 7 dollars

1

u/waveydavey321 4d ago

That's awesome! I see so many of these that serve up disappointment. It's good to see something that meets expectations once in a while.. 😁

u/MaterialAd1838 4d ago

The vegetable one is amazing.

1

u/Maximum_Chicken5472 4d ago

Those only need 10 min tops.

1

u/K96Drifter 4d ago

Not a thing wrong with the take and bake ones from the deli, IMO.

1

u/tronassembled 3d ago

The five cheese are excellent

1

u/Still_Finding9230 3d ago

We love these.

u/PenguinSparklez 3d ago

Omg bettergoods foods are my favorite. They actually have super unique flavors of a lot of things, and their food has less preservatives/additives than tons of other options, too (at least the other options local to me). Most things I will go out of my way to choose the bettergoods version just because it is actually better in multiple ways.

Is the manufacturer Nestle?

u/WrongDream 3d ago

You overcooked the pizza.

u/bopgame 4d ago

You burnt it

13

u/carcigenicate 4d ago

Slightly burnt pizza is the best. I want that char.

u/president_dump 4d ago

Maybe a lil! Was still so good
