These are so good! I remember these when I was a kid. So many people I've talked to has had these . I tell them Togo here to buy them

These pizza kits are a standard for a cheap, easy, quick meal. They should come with cheese like they used to, however, add a bit of your own and all is good. Sure do miss the old days where sausage was an option. Those were the best.

. . . a retirement income and also need to watch your weight, this is perfect for you. As a baby boomer, you probably remember making these pizzas as a kid. So I decided to revisit the experience. Calorie-wise, even if you divide one 12" pizza into four slices, supposedly each is 280 calories and 15% saturated fat - not bad at all. If you are on a diet, just eat one piece for dinner - nothing else. And at around $25 for a six-pack, each of which makes two pizzas, each slice of pizza costs you 52 cents! Cheap and doesn't clog your arteries like the commercial stuff. You realize what a deal this is when you receive the parcel, which is a fairly large box and weighs a ton! Some reviewers mention their kids don't like it. Well if they are used to the commercial stuff from Domino's, Anthony's, Papa John's, and Pizza Hut, they will be disappointed with these because they have 1/3rd of the crust, the sauce, the meat, and the cheese. On the other hand, it won't lead to a lifetime habit of weight problems and heart disease. Commercial pizza is the absolute worse junk food you can eat, with the incredible saturated fat from the cheese and pepperoni/sausage and the massive amount of carbs. Americans can get away eating it up till the age of 25. But as you get older your metabolism slows down so you don't burn off as much calories. So eat pizzas and other junk food and expect to gain 10 pounds after age 30, another 10 pounds after age 40, and another 10 pounds after age 50. You will be lucky if you can stop at that. These Chef Boyardee pizzas are a good compromise where you can continue to eat pizza but not become a fat bank. Just don't add any additional cheese or toppings to the original mix. What creates the unique taste of these pizzas is the cheese is all grated Parmesan, no Mozzarella.

I used to make Chef Boyardee pizzas at home when I was a kid. I especially remember the taste of the sauce: tangy and not too sweet. I haven't made these in years, decades, even. So, delighted to find that they are still available (and affordable), I ordered. When it arrived I found that Chef Boyardee has changed the kit since I was a teenager. In the old days, the kit used to contain a package of yeast dough mix, a tin of sauce, and a small tin of grated parmesan cheese. Now, the dough mix is a biscuit dough (not yeast), and the cheese is no longer included; just dough and sauce. Still great flavored sauce, though, and soda dough doesn't require rising time. I'm going to use my own activated yeast with it, and use shredded mozzarella and parmesan. The price is right.

UPDATE: I found that if I let the dough rise longer, like 1 hour instead of 5 minutes as directed, the dough comes out “chewey”. I also knead it’s for about 10-15 minutes, and find that the texture of the dough is like the ones from restaurants. I noticed that if I follow the directions from the box, the dough is a little like bread. Also, I tried letting it rise in the fridge overnight, and the dough came out to be chewey like the NY style pizzas. Super yummy. I live in NYC, and I have tried all varieties of pizza, from fancy ones all the way down to the $1 slices, which by the way are far tastier than the “fancy and overpriced” ones. The frozen ones can get mushy in the middle and many of them are too bread-ey or too thin and hard. This pizza is not like that. It’s kind of in the middle, but you can modify the thickness to your liking. I am not a foodie, so I’m sure that plenty of people would say otherwise, but whatever... I don’t even crave the local pizza anymore. The sauce is basic, but that’s what makes it good. I do add extra mozzarella cheese and/or pepperoni to make it to my taste. I can add different combinations of toppings. I really like this.

I had no idea this was still on the market but I searched for it and there it was. It’s just like I remember. It’s basic pizza in a pinch. My kids like it because they can make it themselves using our Wilton easy layers cake pans which are like little shallow cake pans just right for personal pan pizza. To make it you combine water and the contents of the dough packet and let it rest for 20 minutes. Shape the dough. Put the sauce on it (the sauce contains the pepperoni mixed into it in the can so if someone wants just cheese you have to pick them out, not difficult to do with a fork). Then you sprinkle the contents of the ‘cheese’ packet on top and bake at 450. It’s done in about 10 minutes. You can add more toppings. Adding real cheese improves it exponentially, just the pre shredded stuff from a bag, no need to get fancy.

Pepperoni isn't round anymore, small wedges and tons of them.

It has been many years sine we have had Chefboyardee pizza that we can at our own toppings to. Did not disappoint us

Still very good pizza. Sauce is the same Even though pepperoni is cut into triangles it tastes the same. Will be buying more.

Awesome product

Very poor quality. Misleading and terrible ingredients. I don't recommend this product to anyone. The dried up pepperoni in the sauce tasted bitter. I paid over 100.00 dollars for six boxes. Terrible idea very disappointed.
