The Freezer Case: EVOL Italian Sausage & Caramelized Onion Flatbread

Okay, not exactly a frozen pizza, but definitely in the same family. We've gotten burritos from the all-natural EVOL line before and they are quite tasty. Unfortunately, the flatbread was a bit of a letdown.

The ingredients (thinly sliced mild Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese, caramelized onions, roasted garlic) and the stone-fired artisan flatbread crust were all very good. And the portion size was reasonable too - while it looked a bit small when I first popped it in the oven, both the nibble and I finished lunch with some to spare. The problem? It just need more of something to give it that extra oomph. Perhaps some extra roasted garlic spread or additional mozzarella. As it is, it's just okay. However, I wouldn't rule out trying the other varieties. Perhaps the BBQ Chicken & Mozzarella has a bit more going on.

The Freezer Case: Trader Giotto's Flatbread Pizza

What you are about to read is both a positive and a negative review. The truth is the pizza we had tonight was very tasty. But, in the end, I'm not sure if it was worth it, because...well, let me get to the pizza analysis.
Two factors led to my consuming Trader Giotto's Flatbread Pizza on this evening. First, wifey went to pilates. This left her with no time to prepare a detailed meal so quickness was of the essence. The second is that it was a meatless pie, and meat is something that is absolutely verboten on Ash Wednesday (unless it's a KFC Double Down; then all bets are off)! Therefore, the only toppings (if you will) on this pie were its mix of cheeses. There were four of them in all: mozzarella (yes!), provolone (OK...), asiago (you're losing me!), and ricotta (EWWWW!). After a 15-minute cooking time, it struck me that there looked to be a little more cheese on the pie than I usually prefer. But no matter! I was hungry, and, in a pinch, this would certainly do!
