Food Review: Sbarro Frozen Sausage and Cheese Pizza

Alright, so I enjoy trying new products if I get a chance to see them at the grocery store and they're not too expensive. I am usually in the know about the different varieties of pizza because, as I said in a previous post, pizza is one of my favorite foods. Anyhow, I ran into the Sbarro sausage and cheese pizza. Normally I don't go for sausage and cheese, I like pepperoni, but this was the only flavor so I grabbed it.

When I took it out of the box I was surprised at how much cheese was on it. Normally on frozen pizza's you have to grab the shredded mozzarella from the fridge and fill in the dead spots with all sauce and nothing else to give a more well balanced experience and also to cover up the lackluster sauce but this was well covered with moderate amount of sausage. It took 21 minutes to cook on 375 degrees. I know the box says 400 degrees but you have to go off how your oven bakes. If I turned my oven on 400 and put that pizza in for 21 minutes the cheese would be close to black. Take notice of how the oven bakes and ignore the instructions.

While it cooked I smelled nothing. I couldn't even tell I was baking a pizza which is not the result I would get from a DiGiorno or Tombstone. You can normally smell the pizza baking but not this one. When I removed it from the oven I could tell right away that the sausage was going to be a let down. It was watery sausage. Like, it had more water base than spices and if you are just putting cheese and sausage on a pizza trust me you want spice to add flavor and color. 

The first bite was okay but I didn't taste anything really. The sauce tasted like that canned Hunt's sauce you can get for $1.68 at Walmart and the cheese lacked flavor. The sausage had a little flavor because, I mean come on, its sausage but it could have packed more of a punch. To be honest, I could have chosen to eat something else tonight and probably been happier. The saving grace was the beverage I had with it which was Angry Orchard Hard Apple Cider. That review is coming next.

Would I purchase this brand again? No. Just so that we're clear, I can 100% see why Sbarro is going out of business. The pizza from the store in the mall tastes exactly like this and I must have been starving and didn't notice the non flavor before but now that I know I can pass this up. I recommend getting Tombstone pepperoni because at the very least the tiny pepperoni's in the sauce alone destroys the entire experience of this pizza.
