It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cheap, filling, and one of the few foods that you have to eat with your hands in order to not look like a douchebag. The folks at the Kraft Foods company, however, have turned eating pizza into a more fanciful singles affair.<\/p>\n<p>They recently launched their \u00e2\u20ac\u0153For One\u00e2\u20ac\u009d pizzas for their DiGiorno and California Pizza Kitchen lines, individual-sized pies made for your hectic lifestyle. According to their PR release, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153consumers now have a reason to look forward to eating alone.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n<p>Seriously \u00e2\u02c6\u2019 what the fuck? Now, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really think that the people at CPK want to turn Americans into a group of misanthropic zombies eating alone in a giant auditorium like some strange existentialist painting from soviet Russia, but you have to admit that it sounds a bit creepy.<\/p>\n<p>I was thinking that if this pizza is good enough to make me not want to eat with my loved ones, it must taste like some divine combination of ambrosia and the first fifteen seconds of Fruit Stripe gum. The box certainly looks promising \u00e2\u02c6\u2019 with interesting ingredients such as fontina cheese and spicy ham. At a mere 5.5 ounces, however, I was worried that it would be the pizza equivalent of a cock-tease.<\/p>\n<p>My fears were alleviated upon consumption. While it is on the small side, it is adequate for a substantial lunch if you have a side salad to go along with it. The crust is super thin and crispy, perfect for piling on the meat toppings that actually taste like quality Italian sausages. It shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be surprising that a meat product actually tastes like it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s supposed to, but my mind has been ruined by 19 years of emulsified chicken. The Italian herb and cheese seasoning is a tad bit strong, but separates the flavor from other boring pizzas.<\/p>\n<p>The box says it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s microwaveable, but believe me: no pizza, no matter how many gray discs and grid-lined cartons they cram in the package, is anything other than crap from the microwave. Stick with a toaster oven and your patience will be rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>At $3.29, it is a bit on the pricey side, but it is a nice treat for yourself after all of those years stocking up on Celeste and Jeno\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s every time they go on sale for $.89. You know what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m talking about. So if you enjoy a quality frozen pizza, go ahead and give this a try and look forward to eating alone for the rest of your life!<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutritional Facts &#8211; 1 pizza &#8211; 450 calories, 200 calories from fat, 22 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat, 35 mg of cholesterol, 820mg sodium, 42 grams of carbs, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 4 grams of sugar, 21 grams of protein, 10% Vitamin A, 0% Vitamin C, 30% Calcium, and 8% Iron)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> California Pizza Kitchen For One Sicilian Pizza<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b> FREE (retails for $3.29)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> From the nice CPK PR peeps<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Good quality meats compared to what you usually get in frozen pizzas.
