<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
DiGiorno’s Pizza Buns are like mini cinnamon buns. Except instead of cinnamon, sugar, and frosting, there’s meat, cheese, and sauce.<\/p>\n
When I first saw these, I thought it was a silly and horrible idea. But that’s based on my experience with a similar product — Target\u2019s Market Pantry Pizza Spirals. They. Were. Horrible. They didn’t heat up well, even in an oven, the dough was chewy, the pizza filling was mushy, and they made me cry.<\/p>\n
So let’s find out if DiGiorno’s Pizza Buns will make me do the opposite of crying, which is shaking my buns.<\/p>\n
![\"DiGiorno](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DiGiorno-Pepperoni-Pizza-Buns-2.jpg?resize=599%2C384\" "\\"DiGiorno")
<\/p>\n
It’s available in many varieties, but I decided to go with pepperoni. The snack also features mozzarella cheese, a chunky tomato sauce, and preservative free dough. The cheese is on top, while the pepperoni pieces and sauce are between the layers of spiraled dough. Each bun is about two inches wide and, as you can see above, pre-burnt on top.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Like products that come with microwave and conventional oven instructions, the latter always does a better job. But the microwaved ones are above decent. They don’t have a slight crispy exterior, like the oven prepared ones, but they don’t end up tough or dried out either. The microwaved dough is soft and easy to bite through. <\/p>\n
Usually, I’d say, if you’re willing to wait, go for the oven. But for these Pizza Buns, the time spent waiting might not be worth it.<\/p>\n
Now I’m happy to report they’re 100 times better than Market Pantry’s Pizza Spirals. They’re good enough that I don\u2019t want to throw them away or write an angry letter to Target corporate soaked with my tears.<\/p>\n
![\"DiGiorno](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/DiGiorno-Pepperoni-Pizza-Buns-4.jpg?resize=600%2C450\" "\\"DiGiorno")
<\/p>\n
The pepperoni has a slight spicy kick and the sauce, while not chunky, does have a nice sweet tomato flavor. Since the cheese is on top, it\u2019s pre-burnt. So no gooey cheese. <\/p>\n
While tasty, a serving of Pizza Buns isn\u2019t a filling snack. A serving is two buns and there are three individually wrapped pairs per box. A pair is a lot lighter than a Hot Pocket and a little bit less than a serving of six Pizza Rolls. Also, the Pizza Buns don’t have as bold of a flavor as the other two frozen pizza snacks. <\/p>\n
Well, at least it doesn\u2019t have a molten filling that burns my mouth like the other two.<\/p>\n
So I\u2019m kind of torn about DiGiorno\u2019s Pizza Buns. They taste fine, but they’re not exciting enough to make me shake my buns. <\/p>\n
