I will never turn down pizza, it is the comfort food that I grew up eating and still to this day is one of my favorite meals. To date, a thinner crust is my preference topped with quality ingredients, I tried some really yummy stuff in New York City back at the beginning of the month.
One great restaurant that I’ve been wanting to visit is California Pizza Kitchen (CPK). Inspired by their restaurants, CPK has enhanced their frozen pizza recipe to please their customers. When you can’t find a restaurant nearby, you can buy them in your grocery store freezer and have it when you want! Have you tried their pizzas, you can’t miss them in the bright yellow boxes in the store. Their crispy thin crust line has the “Our Best Recipe Yet” seal is right on the box, and you need to check out their 5 varieties that include:
Sicilian Recipe-with 25% more cheese, 50% more sauce and topped with Italian sausage, spicy ham and salami
White-garlic creme fraiche sauce and 20% more Parmesan cheese
Margherita-tomatoes, basil, and Mozzarella with a new tomato sauce
BBQ Recipe Chicken– white-meat chicken with a spicy/sweet barbeque sauce, red onions, cilantro, and smoked Gouda
Garlic Chicken– cheesy with garlic bordelaise sauce and grilled white-meat chicken
Is your mouth watering yet? I tried the Sicilian Recipe out and yes, the crust is thin! I placed it directly on the rack in my oven, I love when the crust is crispy, the texture balances out the gooey cheese.
The verdict? The flavors of the salami and sausage was fabulous, lots of spice and I love that! The cheese to sauce ratio was great but I was really disappointed in the crust. It turned out hard and dense and not light and crispy as I’d imagined. Will I try California Pizza Kitchen pizza again, yes I still want to visit the restaurant and I’ll possibly buy a thicker crust frozen pizza in the future, the flavors of the ingredients were delicious.
The suggested price of their Crispy Thin Crust Pizza are $6.69 and feeds about 2 hungry eaters in my house. Try one for yourself and let me know what you think!
