Best Microwave Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Most microwave pizza is bad. There\u2019s a reason you cook it in the oven. If you cook it in the microwave it often turns into a molten soupy disc. Now, I\u2019m not saying Kroger\u2019s microwave pizza is gourmet. It still tastes like microwave pizza\u2014but in a much, much better way than any of the others we tried. I can\u2019t say it gets \u201ccrispy\u201d but there are parts of it that crisp up. It tastes like cheap cafeteria pizza. And it\u2019s pretty satisfying in that specific way. Major kudos to the sauce, which is tangy and savory and actually tastes like herbs. Cooking this microwave pizza does require an engineering degree (you have to fold the box in a very specific way), but if you\u2019re only working with a microwave and you want pizza for one, this is the best cheap pizza to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trader Joe\u2019s is a mecca for cheap pizza. Pretty much every single frozen pizza they offer is under $6. And most of them are pretty good. But this one is special because it\u2019s a gluten free, cauliflower crust pizza that actually tastes good\u2014and that\u2019s hard to find. No, the crust doesn\u2019t get crazy crisp, but it tastes like traditional pizza crust. The sauce is savory and heavy on the herbs. And the cheese is plentiful. It\u2019s good for gluten-averse and <\/em>people looking to sneak some extra veggies into their diet. And, of course, it\u2019s cheap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This buttery little buddy is not <\/em>deep dish pizza. But it is a really good personal pan pizza. The crust is flaky and rich. The sauce is savory. The cheese is gooey.

This isn\u2019t your traditional supreme pizza, but it\u2019s loaded with all sorts of toppings, so it qualifies. We\u2019re talking bell peppers, onions (lots of onions, Italian sausage, pepperoni, and three different cheeses (mozzarella, parmesan, and romano). It\u2019s much more complex than most of the other cheap frozen pizzas on this list. All the toppings stand out with their individual flavors, but also come together to create a super savory melange of yummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costco frozen cheese pizza isn\u2019t as good as the stuff you get from the food court\u2014it\u2019s not as puffy. But it is still good. The cheese is super thick. It creates a real blanket that you have to bite through. And the sauce is sweet and tangy. But most importantly, you can get four large pizzas for $12. That\u2019s $3 for one full pizza that can easily feed two very hungry people or four peckish people. If you have room in your freezer, Costco makes the best cheap frozen pizza you can buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like a thin, crispy, crackery pizza (think Chicago tavern style), then you\u2019re gonna love this cheap frozen pizza from Jack\u2019s. The cheese and pepperoni go all the way to the edge of the crust, so you get more bang for your buck. The crust style really accentuates the savory, spicy flavor of the pepperoni, too. For less than four bucks, you can\u2019t afford not<\/em> to toss a few of these in the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veggie pizza can be a real watery mess, but not this roasted veggie pizza from Trader Joe\u2019s, which also happens to be a great cheap pizza at less than five bucks a pop. This thing is loaded with red onions, eggplant, zucchini, and red and yellow peppers, but the real draw is the creamy cheesy condiment that dots the pie. It contributes so much flavor and makes this cheap frozen pizza taste way more expensive than it actually is. Also, we now firmly believe that eggplant should always be on veggie pizzas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you always thought Stouffer\u2019s made the best French bread pizza, you have always been wrong! That\u2019s right: Red Baron makes the tastiest French bread pizzas. And you get two supremes in a pack for less than $5. Incredible. The bread is perfectly squishy on the inside and crunchy on the outside; plus, the combo of veggies, smoky pepperoni, and fennel-forward sausage bits makes this cheap frozen pizza taste especially deluxe. These are a supremely<\/em> good deal, if we do say so ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
