Costco is known for its large quantities and great deals, offering affordable options in both groceries and its popular food court. Among these offerings is the frozen food aisle, where you can find everything from butter to egg rolls in mega-packs. One highlight is the frozen pizza section, featuring both Kirkland Signature and various artisan brands. With so many choices, it can be hard to decide which pizzas are worth buying.
I have tried every thin crust, thick crust, gluten-free crust, and cauliflower crust available, along with a variety of classic and creative toppings. Some pizzas are good buys with decent flavors, while others bring back nostalgic pepperoni pizza memories. If you’re ready to explore Costco’s frozen pizza selection, join me on this tasting journey.
9.Kirkland Signature Pepperoni Pizza
Starting the list is Kirkland Signature’s pepperoni pizza. At $13.49 for four pizzas, you get nearly 5 pounds of pizza, making it one of the best deals. The pizza has a generous amount of pepperoni, and Costco doesn’t skimp on this favorite topping. But how does it taste?
The Kirkland Signature pepperoni pizza offers good value and decent taste. The pepperoni is plentiful and the cheese melts nicely. However, the crust is a bit thin and lacks flavor. It’s a solid choice for a budget-friendly pizza night but don’t expect gourmet quality.
8. Sabatasso’s Gluten-Free Four-Cheese Pizza
Gluten-free pizza is often debated, as purists argue that a chewy crust requires gluten. However, Sabatasso’s gluten-free four-cheese pizza aims to please those with gluten intolerance. Priced at $16.99 for a 3-pack, it features Asiago, mozzarella, fontina, and parmesan cheeses on a thin crust.
Despite its impressive cheese blend, this pizza’s crust is its downfall. The crust lacks structure and taste, sagging like a limp noodle. The cheese and sauce are tasty, but they can’t save the poor crust. There are better gluten-free options, so you might want to skip this one.
7. Pep’s Drafthaus The Prohibition Special Pizza
There are two types of pizza lovers: those who prefer minimal toppings and those who love loaded pizzas. Pep’s Drafthaus The Prohibition Special ($14.99 for a 2-pack) caters to the latter. It features mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, pepperoni, and two kinds of sausage.
The quality of the toppings is high, with juicy peppers and flavorful meats. The cheese is abundant and seasoned with Italian herbs. However, the toppings overwhelm the crust, making it soggy. Even if you bake it longer, you risk burning the edges. If you like a pizza that’s almost like a casserole, this one is for you.
6. Milton’s Cauliflower Crust Roasted Vegetable Pizza
Milton’s cauliflower crust roasted vegetable pizza is a lighter option. It features roasted zucchini, bell peppers, and onions, along with three types of cheese. At $13.89 for a 2-pack, it’s a gluten-free pizza with fewer calories. But does it taste good?
The vegetables are fresh and the cheese blend is tasty. However, the cauliflower crust lacks the chew of traditional crusts. Despite this, it’s a good choice for a healthier pizza. It’s worth making space for in your freezer if you prefer a lighter meal.
5. Kirkland Signature Cheese Pizza
The Kirkland Signature cheese pizza is another budget-friendly option. At $11.49 for four pizzas, it’s the cheapest on the list. Costco is generous with the mozzarella, but how does it taste?
This pizza offers great value and a pleasing taste. The crust is chewy, the sauce is flavorful, and the cheese is well-balanced with herbs and salt. The puffy, pillowy crust is satisfying. However, the cheese could have more golden bubbles. A hotter oven or a cast iron skillet might solve this. For a simple, budget-friendly pizza, this one is a good choice.
4. Pizza Roncadin Mushroom and Truffle Pizza
Pizza Roncadin mushroom and truffle pizza ($14.99 for a 3-pack) stands out with its Italian origin and garlic sauce instead of marinara. It features sliced mushrooms, herbs, and truffled mushroom sauce. The crust is made with Italian mountain water, leavened slowly, and baked in a wood-fired oven.
As a mushroom fan, I had high hopes, and this pizza mostly delivered. The crust is flavorful and well-crafted. The mushrooms are roasted to perfection, though some moisture pooled in the middle. The truffle flavor is subtle but present. Despite minor flaws, it’s a well-made frozen pizza.
3. Sabatasso’s Pizza Singles
Sabatasso’s returns with 6 pepperoni and 6 four-cheese pizza singles for $12.49. These mini pizzas are flexible in cooking methods, suitable for the oven, air-fryer, or microwave. They are about 4 inches in diameter with ample cheese and quartered pepperoni slices.
Unlike their gluten-free counterpart, these mini pizzas are a pleasant surprise. The crust is crispy and the toppings are generous. The four-cheese blend is particularly impressive. These are perfect for small households or quick meals. They’re worth trying for their convenience and taste.
2. Kirkland Signature Supreme Cauliflower Crust Pizza
Kirkland Signature supreme cauliflower crust pizza is the brand’s best entry. At $11.99 for two pizzas, it’s pricier than others, but with good reason. It features sausage, peppers, mushrooms, roasted zucchini, and a blend of mozzarella, parmesan, and romano cheeses. The gluten-free cauliflower crust is a bonus.
This pizza exceeded expectations. The toppings are juicy without making the pizza soggy, and the sausage and pepperoni are well-distributed. The extra cheese adds flavor, and the cauliflower crust is thin and crispy. It’s the best option for a gluten-free, supreme-style pizza.
1. Authentic Motor City Pizza Co. Double Pepperoni Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pizza
The top spot goes to Authentic Motor City Pizza Co. Double Pepperoni Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pizza ($12.99 for a 2-pack). Detroit-style pizza combines elements of Chicago-style and tavern-style pizza, baked in a deep-dish tray. It features both diced and sliced pepperoni with plenty of mozzarella.
From the first bite, this pizza stood out. The double pepperoni adds a nice texture, and the cheese bubbles up beautifully. The thick, buttery crust crisps up nicely. It’s a nostalgic, satisfying pizza that’s perfect for anyone craving a hearty, deep-dish experience.
I truly hope these nine options are good or best choices for you. From budget-friendly options to gourmet flavors, there’s something for everyone. Happy pizza eating!
