""I'm not one who goes for a margherita pizza too often ... [but] Between the chewy crust, tangy tomato sauce, slabs of mozzarella, and sprinkling of basil, this pizza was nicely balanced and reliant on tried-and-true flavors to really make it shine." We also gave the margherita pizza high marks for its surprisingly herbaceous basil (freezer considered) and stone-fired crust, which contributes a dimensional char."
"Overall, Newman's Own margherita pie is straightforward, reliable, and a lot more interesting than its fairly one-note Thin and Crispy Four Cheese Pizza (which we ranked last). Bonus points if you add an extra sprinkle of ribboned fresh basil on top, a drizzle of hot honey, and a chilled orange wine to complete the meal. It's an apt elevation, considering m argherita pizza's origin is linked to Italian royalty (pretty dolled up for freezer fare, and we aren't complaining)."
The Stone-Fired Crust Margherita from Newman's Own outperformed other frozen offerings in a six-pizza comparison that prioritized crust texture and overall flavor. The pizza pairs a chewy, stone-fired crust with a dimensional char, tangy tomato sauce, generous slabs of mozzarella, and surprisingly herbaceous basil despite freezing. The margherita was described as straightforward, reliable, and more interesting than the brand's Thin and Crispy Four Cheese, which ranked lowest. Suggested enhancements include ribboned fresh basil, a drizzle of hot honey, and a chilled orange wine. Packaging notes claim "Imported from Italy" and that it is stone fired for a light, airy, and crispy texture.
