Ranking Store-Bought Pizza Crusts From Worst To Best
BY Hunter Wren Miele
10. Pillsbury Classic
Pillsbury offers a standard pizza crust that comes in a tube, which you must roll out and press before adorning with sauce and toppings.
The dough isn't easy to manipulate into a flat pizza. While you may hope the dough's taste makes up for its consistency and toughness, it's unfortunately too sweet.
9. 365 Organic
365 organic crust has a thickness resembling wraps, as it's just a couple of millimeters thick. It has difficulty holding up the weight of cheese, sauce, and toppings.
It's soft and chewy, but the edges are almost too crunchy and tend to sag when pulled from the pie. It also has a gritty, grainy quality that doesn't taste like pizza at all.
8. Mia
Mia's crust looks fluffy and appealing but fails to deliver on flavor, tasting more like a traditional pita bread. It's neither crispy nor buttery as expected from a crust.
The little pie may turn out dry and bland. In the oven, the crust's edges closest to the oven's back may begin to burn while the crust's bottom is barely crispy.
7. Great Value
Great Value offers a pizza dough that's very similar to Pillsbury. While it's more malleable, it's still quite difficult to shape it into a typical flat pizza.
Great Value's pizza dough is soft, fluffy, and incredibly sweet. It has no crispiness and lacks that butteriness or olive oil essence to give the crust a flavor boost.
6. Caulipower
Caulipower crust is gluten-free, and it yields a crispy, crunchy pizza pie. It has traces of cauliflower flavor, but you can easily subdue this with pungent toppings.
The label instructs you to cook it for 12 to 15 minutes, but it cooks much faster. Its cracker-like texture holds onto a substantial amount of cheese and pepperoni without issue.
