The Discontinued Aldi Take-And-Bake Pizza We Wish Still Existed (But It's Simple To Recreate) - Tasting Table

"Aldi carries many easy-to-prepare dinner staples, including its impressive lineup of take-and-bake pizzas. It carries plenty of frozen pizzas (which one of our writers tried and ranked), too, but the refrigerated section - usually located right near the entrance - is also worth checking out if you're craving a pie. You'll find plenty of options, including Five Cheese and Mega Meat pies."

"This pizza is one of the discontinued Aldi products that customers most want back - and after reading the product description, we can guess why. It features a taco-seasoned beef topping with red and green peppers, black olives, and onions - like a veggie pizza that got a Tex-Mex spin."

"Customers were really sad when they found that their stores had ceased to carry it. Customers wrote it off as an Aldi Find: a limited-time offering that may or may not be restocked. And, with a product this good, you can guarantee customers jumped on the opportunity to buy it. Folks who loved this short-lived find took to social media when they noticed that it had disappeared, and the brand unfortunately confirmed that it had no plans to bring it back to stores."

"Start with one of the other cheese pizza bases that Aldi carries, like the Five-Cheese Traditional Crust pie. You'll want to pre-cook your beef crumble topping ahead of time, as the pie won't be in the oven long enough to bring the meat up to a safe temperature. You can also swap it out with an alternative, like ground chicken or turkey, if you prefer something lighter. Grab all the essentials you need from the produce section, crack open a can of black olives, and reheat the pie according to the package directi"

Aldi offers take-and-bake and refrigerated pizzas near the entrance, including Five Cheese and Mega Meat options. One discontinued item, Mama Cozzi’s Pizza Kitchen Mexican Style Take & Bake Pizza, featured taco-seasoned beef with red and green peppers, black olives, and onions, creating a Tex-Mex flavored veggie-style pizza. Customers reacted with disappointment when stores stopped carrying it, treating it as an Aldi Find that might not be restocked. Fans shared the disappearance on social media, and the brand confirmed there were no plans to bring it back. A similar pizza can be made at home by starting with an Aldi cheese pizza base, pre-cooking the beef crumble topping, adding peppers, onions, and black olives, and reheating according to package directions.
