A Slice of Heaven

If there’s one thing Trader Joe’s does well, it’s cheap frozen food. The California-based retailer offers everything from basics like white rice and stir-fried veggies to unique all-in-one meals from far-flung countries. When it comes to the latter, the chain’s roster of frozen pizzas (and frozen pizza-adjacent flatbreads) is hard to beat.


They’re cheap, quick, and tasty. But with such a wide selection — who knew Trader Joe’s sells a pizza with vegan cheese? — it’s hard to distinguish the delicious from the disappointing. The good news is that superfans on Reddit have done that for you in a recent thread. Here are the 5 best Trader Joe’s pizzas (and flatbreads), according to the chain’s most dedicated fans.

Tarte d’Alsace

$4.99

Think of this as a light, Franco-German pizza sans tomato sauce. But rest assured: This Alsatian specialty makes up for its lack of sauciness with its crispy, thin crust, layer of crème fraîche, slices of ham, caramelized onions, and gruyère cheese. Pair it with a bottle of Moon X Red Blend and a side salad, and “you'll think you are at a French bistro,” as one Redditor writes.

Roasted Garlic and Pesto Pizza (With Deep-Fried Crust)

$5.99

Deep frying pizza may sound like a crime against Italian cuisine, but superfans repeatedly praised this unconventional pie for its crust. “That’s the best frozen pizza I’ve ever had of any brand,” one commenter wrote. And contrary to what you might think, it isn’t “a greasy monstrosity” but a “very flavorful” pizza with “good texture.”

Burrata, Arugula, and Prosciutto Flatbread

$4.99

Looking to impress your guests with an amuse bouche without lifting a finger? Don’t go with a boring cheese or pepperoni pizza. Instead, consider this fan-favorite flatbread, which multiple Redditors say is their favorite frozen pizza at Trader Joe’s. One commenter suggests elevating this dish by adding a drizzle of TJ’s balsamic glaze. And a heads up: You’ll have to thaw the flatbread and prosciutto for at least 20 minutes.

Mushroom and Black Truffle Flatbread

$4.99

OK, we know. Enough with the flatbreads. But hey, this comes with fancy black truffles, which means plenty of umami without the meat. One Redditor shares that this was a hit at their Super Bowl party even though the host was a “meat at every meal” kind of dude.

Pizza Parlanno

$4.99

Whether you’re a meat eater, meat lover, or something in between, the Pizza Parlanno will be a hit among those who like their pies to have a bit of heft. It’s loaded with Italian sausage, uncured pepperoni, roasted peppers, and red onions. If that sounds too meaty but you still want something loaded with toppings, we suggest the organic roasted vegetable pizza.
