Freschetta Pizza review and giveaway!



This past week has been a very hectic one for me.
When you work at a church, Easter is a busy time!
And when your job is running the services, Easter weekend is just insane!
We had over 14,000 people in 6 services last weekend! Sheeshh!! Amazing but busy!
Needless to say, I was tired.. and of course, my guys still think they need to eat even
if I am to tired to cook. What is up with that?? I decided it would be a great time to try
a new Freschetta Simply Inspired pizza. The good people at Freschetta had sent me a
coupon for a free one to try - so I choose a Chicken Bianco one.
To see all 8 of their Simply Inspired flavors, click link below:


The first thing I noticed about it was the packaging. It has far less bulk than most frozen
pizzas. In fact, it slid quite easily into my freezer, which is a side one and therefore
narrow. May not seem like a big issue, but it made me happy!


All of the nutrition and cooking information was easy to find on the back of the package.
And the calorie count for this flavor was not bad at all! One serving was 1/3 of the pizza,
and came in at just 8 Weight Watchers points! Not that I follow those religiously anymore,
but I do use them as a guideline... anyone else love that phrase from Pirates of the Caribbean?!
Anyway... I popped it into the oven, and 14 minutes later I had this deliciousness on my counter!



Mmmm... creamy garlicky cheesy goodness!
The thin crust was just right, slightly crispy and the perfect foundation for the
yummy sauce, chicken, peppers, and spinach.


It was really good - and I must say I am not normally a big fan of frozen pizza.
My husband and son liked it too, even though this flavor was one they wouldn't
ordinarily choose.  Too "frilly and gourmet" for them!
Didn't seem to stop them from gobbling it up though!
The makers of Freschetta Pizza contacted me and provided their product for
me to review, but the opinions and thoughts I have shared here are entirely my own.
I am so thankful to them for giving me a night off from cooking!
And they wanted me to offer you a chance to try some of their pizza yourself,
plus they sent me a great little gift for one of you too!


This cute little bamboo cutting board!
But wait - it has a secret!




It swings open to reveal a set of cheese knives!





How adorable is that!
The winner will also receive a coupon for a free Freschetta Simply Inspired pizza!
To enter just leave a comment Here ! I will do a random drawing
for the winner later this week. Good luck!

  1. Okay that pizza is so yummy! And your pancake recipe reminds me so much of the recipe my grandma made for us when we were little. Even the bowl you were using was similar to hers. So weird! Thanks so much for coming and visiting my little part of the world. Hope you come back often! Have a great day!
