\"DiGiorno<\/p>\n

What is DiGiorno\u2019s Croissant Crust Pizza?<\/h3>\n

DiGiorno has added a 10th crust line with its new Croissant Crust pizza. The Nestl\u00e9 PR gurus tout that this innovation combines the goodness of a croissant with \u201cIt\u2019s Not Delivery!\u201d to create a unique twist. It launched with three different toppings: Pepperoni, Three Meat, and Four Cheese. But, I was only able to find two: Pepperoni and Four Cheese. <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Sometimes marketing speak is way too lofty. In this case, though, I do think it\u2019s a unique twist. It\u2019s not something that I\u2019ve seen from the pizza delivery giants nor other frozen pizza brands. Another aspect that speaks to its uniqueness is that I didn\u2019t have a frame of reference for what a croissant crust pizza should be like. However, unique and a 10 out of 10 rating are not synonymous. <\/p>\n

\"DiGiorno<\/p>\n

They say you eat with your eyes first, and I immediately nitpicked at the lack of lamination on both. The uncooked layers looked more like a biscuit than a refined French croissant. Even in its pre-baked state, I picked up on a very buttery smell that reminded me of the way Pillsbury biscuit dough smells. While I was appreciative it wasn\u2019t an artificial or overpowering movie theatre popcorn butter smell, it unfortunately further reinforced biscuit. <\/p>\n

\"DiGiorno<\/p>\n

\"DiGiorno<\/p>\n

I was also a little peeved that there were ONLY 19 pieces of pepperoni. After the baking process, my perception changed because the 19 produced quite an amount of grease. So, the skimping worked out well. Four cheese, on the other hand, was the perfect amount of molten stringy goodness. I wouldn\u2019t be able to tell you which \u201c100% real\u201d cheese is which to save my life, but it was enjoyable.<\/p>\n

\"DiGiorno<\/p>\n

A key win is that the crust created a firmer texture like an elementary school cafeteria pizza. I know that may sound like an off-putting comparison, but it conjures a lot of nostalgia for me. It also speaks to the fact that there was not a soggy crust in sight! <\/p>\n

\"DiGiorno<\/p>\n

It actually flaked nicely like a croissant, and surprisingly not like a biscuit. Also, when I was cutting it, I could hear a bit of the crispy crackly like the top of a croissant. The butter smell and taste were still prevalent, but with the harder and crispier texture, I was able to get past the biscuit context. <\/p>\n

Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

The mark of a solid pizza is how it tastes when it\u2019s cold. These did lose a bit of the croissant flakiness, but the flavors were still there. <\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

At this price point, I\u2019d place this in the Little Caesars $5 Hot & Ready realm. In most instances, I\u2019d probably only pick this over a Hot & Ready if I had enough room in my small freezer, which unfortunately isn\u2019t often enough. <\/p>\n
