This pizza doesn’t look anything like the photo and isn’t very impressive out of the box due to what appears to be a skimpy amount of toppings.
However, this pizza works because the crust is relatively thin and the toppings are very flavorful. The combination of feta cheese, roasted red peppers and kalamata olives is unexpected on a pizza and really packs a punch.
There are two pizzas per box, which makes these a great value. Each pizza is slightly larger than personal size, but not really big enough to share even though the package lists serving size as 1/3 a pizza.

Can you please bring this pizza back
I know you have discontinued this pizza, but I love it. Is there an alternative way I can get it?
Not impressed with these pizzas. They sounded so tempting and the photos on the box were beautiful, but I didn’t like these pizzas at all. The toppings were very sparse – perhaps four halves of olive slices on the pizza, couldn’t detect much feta or any peppers. The crust was also disappointing and would not crisp well in a toaster oven. The taste was okay, if very salty, due to the briny olives and sauce.
Not vegetarian, contains animal rennet 🙁
I check with Trader Joe’s regarding the source or enzymes and rennet before listing any product with cheese as vegetarian. Here is the response I received: “Thank you for contacting us! The enzymes used in this product are vegetable sourced. Nicki K., Trader Joe’s Customer Relations”. It would be great if Trader Joe’s would clearly identify Vegetarian products and always list the source of enzymes and rennet on the ingredient label. I suggest that we all submit this request at http://www.traderjoes.com/contact-us/general-feedback
I love this pizza! it’s a great dinner with a side salad.
My first bite seemed a little scary. …but then it grew on me and I ended up liking it.
The flavor of the pizza is SALTY. That is because the flavor is dominated by the Kalamata olives, which are not the fresh variety but the kind that have been soaking in salt and vinegar brine for a long time. I detected neither feta cheese nor roasted red peppers. Definitely a misleading label. If I were Trader Joes, I would not put my name on this product.
