\"MorningStar<\/a><\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.49
\nSize:<\/b> 5.65 oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Safeway
\nRating:<\/b> 7 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Very tasty, thanks to the slightly spicy Baja chile sauce which reminds me of a Taco Bell sauce (not the sauces in packets). Lots of fire-roasted corn, which added flavor, and black beans, which didn’t add flavor. Whole grain crust was mostly crispy, thanks to the crisping tray. Awesome source of fiber and good source of protein. Pizza was six inches in diameter, but was filling to me. 100% vegetarian.
\nCons:<\/b> Pricey. Corn and black beans not arranged to make a smiley face. Should’ve had more tomatoes. Waiting 16-17 minutes for a small pizza in a conventional oven (thank goodness for the crisping tray). Cheese didn’t have much flavor. I’m surprised it doesn’t have any of the fake meat MorningStar Farms produces.<\/p>\n
