I just spotted this item at my local Costco today -- 3 in a box for $10.99. I'm a fan of Frontera Grill, of course, and I like some of Bayless's other products, but this is completely new to me. Are there any opinions out there about the quality? (As a reference point, Amy's is my favorite frozen pizza to date, at $5.99 each here in GR.)

I love Frontera salsas, Frontera Grill, and pretty much anything else from Rick Bayless that I've tried. So I was very surprised how much I did not like these pizzas. I didn't think they were good at all, and I don't consider myself very picky about frozen pizzas.

One man's opinion.

Funny you should post this because I just bought one (chorizo and roasted peppers with a cornmeal crust) at Wild Oats yesterday. Haven't tried it yet, though.

Thanks for replying, Neal. What didn't you like about them?

They were giving out samples at Costco a couple of months ago, and I didn't like them either. At all. The crust, the sauce, everything. And, there was too much stuff on them. Soggy and greasy, and it had been cooked in a convection oven.

It's hard to put my finger on it. I thought there was an off flavor to the crust, the sauce had no flavor at all, and the vegetables were flavorless as well.

Other than that I guess it was fine! I'm still a little surprised that Frontera put its name on them.

I thought mine was ok, but I mostly tasted the chicken chorizo. I could see how other versions might be flavorless. Definitely wasn't soggy or greasy, though. I'd eat it again if it was served to me, but I wouldn't necessarily buy one again.
