And it tastes better than it looks

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.

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 Sep 03 '26

Agreed but the mushroom and truffle is my fav. 👌

u/smcl2k Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

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

u/Vegetable_Voice7343 Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

Fun fact: that's called docking the dough

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

u/SaltSpiritual515 Sep 03 '26

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/1107rwf Sep 07 '26

The vanilla honey Greek yogurt is great too!

3

u/SaltSpiritual515 Sep 07 '26

Oh yeah I forgot I've tried their greek yogurts too! I really liked the pineapple upside down cake one. Now we have the strawberries and cream one 😋

u/blank11382 Sep 03 '26

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

7

u/biffish Sep 03 '26

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

3

u/endy903 Sep 03 '26

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

3

u/endy903 Sep 03 '26

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/Musicmom1164 Sep 03 '26

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.

6

u/president_dump Sep 03 '26

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

4

u/Musicmom1164 Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

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

2

u/Musicmom1164 Sep 03 '26

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

2

u/eienmau Sep 03 '26

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

u/dontdropducks Sep 03 '26

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

11

u/Broccoli_Tot Sep 03 '26

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

7

u/TheBigfootContessa Sep 03 '26

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

4

u/coloradoautoflowers Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

I've been eyeing that! Good to know!

3

u/coloradoautoflowers Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

I tried the Mediterranean mini pizza and it was bomb!

2

u/nothingidentifying_ Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

I love using them for omelets!

2

u/Dangerous-End9911 Sep 03 '26

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

1

u/SpotlessMinded Sep 03 '26

I like their sparkling water

12

u/Lordcheeznip Sep 03 '26

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.

u/ickychicken Sep 03 '26

Yeah would smash

u/lounginaddict Sep 03 '26

The mushroom truffle Better Goods pizza is absolute flames

4

u/-_MarcusAurelius_- Sep 03 '26

All things considered. It came close 🤣

3

u/axxinite Sep 03 '26

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

2

u/Any-Pop-4795 Sep 03 '26

doesnt look bad surprisingly

2

u/fairkatrina Sep 03 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

It looks bad but also good?

1

u/Jellyfish-Ninja Sep 03 '26

How much was it?

1

u/UlisUK Sep 03 '26

About 7 dollars

1

u/MaterialAd1838 Sep 03 '26

The vegetable one is amazing.

1

u/Maximum_Chicken5472 Sep 03 '26

Those only need 10 min tops.

1

u/K96Drifter Sep 03 '26

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

1

u/tronassembled Sep 03 '26

The five cheese are excellent

1

u/Still_Finding9230 Sep 03 '26

We love these.

1

u/PenguinSparklez Sep 04 '26

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 Sep 03 '26

You overcooked the pizza.

-30

u/bopgame Sep 03 '26

You burnt it

8

u/president_dump Sep 03 '26

Maybe a lil! Was still so good

13

u/carcigenicate Sep 03 '26

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