\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m not breaking any new ground by saying that even the worst pizza is still pretty good.<\/p>\n

Your local pizza joint? Pretty good. Pizza Hut? Pretty good. Those little plastic rectangles they force-fed you in elementary school? Pretty good. Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time! When pizzas are on a bagel, it’s still pretty good.<\/p>\n

I love pizza\u2026 butttttt, I’ve never been much of a thin crust guy. Outside of Domino’s, I don’t even really eat it. I’m actually on record saying, “I don’t want pizza on a cracker.” Well, that changed the second I found a frozen pizza that was literally on a cracker. The cracker in question? You know it’s Cheez-It, so why teez-it?<\/p>\n

“Take a Cheez-It, freeze it, and then Pizz-it.” \u2013 some marketing guy, probably.<\/p>\n

Cheez-It Pizzas come in three flavors \u2014 Pepperoni, Cheddar Jack Supreme, and Italian Four Cheese \u2014 and are available nationwide. I opted for the Four Cheese, which has whole milk mozzarella, parmesan, yellow cheddar, and Romano\u2026 and Cheez-It, so technically, it’s Five Cheese. Semantics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right out of the box, the pizza smelled like Cheez-Its, so it was a great start. The baking instructions said to cook the pie at 450 degrees for 8-10 minutes, but as a lover of Extra Toasty Cheez-Its, I defied their orders and set the timer for 11.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m not one for rules \u2013 not even these pizza rules everybody apparently knows about. It’s a good thing I didn’t stop at just one bite; otherwise, this review would have been a dud because the first bite didn’t pop.<\/p>\n

I had flashbacks to the Cheez-It collab at Taco Bell, where I thought the Cheez-It was lost entirely within the Crunchwrap. I was ready to say something snippy like, “This pizza puts the ‘ick’ in ‘gimmick.'” Good thing I didn’t say that, though, because it’s not funny at all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It grew on me. After one square, I ate four more\u2014one for each cheese. The cheeses had a really nice flavor, but they kind of blended into a generic, chewy “pizza cheese” taste. Parmesan stood out the most.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At first, I wasn’t getting anything more than crisp from the Cheez-It, but by square three, the Cheez-It flavor was firmly there. The crust tastes like 75% of a Cheez-It.<\/p>\n

Honestly, this is just a hot, overly salted, cheesy cracker, and I think that’s fine.<\/p>\n

There isn’t enough marinara, though. Maybe the extra minute in the oven evaporated the sauce, but it’s dry, and I’m not even a guy who likes a super saucy slice. I’m not even a guy. I’m a child eating Cheez-It Pizza.<\/p>\n

I ate half the pie, and I was satisfied. I air-fried the other half the next day and was equally satisfied. It wasn’t even that far off from a Domino’s Thin Crust, but like takeout pizza, I think I prefer my frozen pizza like I hate my stomach \u2013 doughy.<\/p>\n

It’s not delivery. It’s not even DiGiorno\\*. It’s decent. It’s a snack, not a meal.<\/p>\n

So yeah, I’ve had worse. I don’t even know you, and I know you have too. It’s technically pizza, and as we all know, all pizza is pretty good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

*This is from Palermo’s. Until writing this review, I literally thought this was a collaboration with DiGiorno because of the box design, but it’s not DiGiorno, it’s Deceptive!<\/p>\n
