Looking for opinions on the best frozen pizza for the calories. It's not something I have everyday, but it is an occasional craving. I had 1/2 of small American Flatbread pizza today for 300 calories and it was pretty good. On a good snow day.... gimme some ol' school Elios!

What's your go to?

    Amy's has pretty good frozen pizzas.

    For most of their pizzas, 1/3 of it is around 300 cals. To be honest though, I can eat 2 whole pizzas back to back. They are tasty but a little on the skinny side.

    Thanks for the tip!! I have seen these, and thought they looked good, but never bought one! I will give them a try.

    Dr. Oetker Ristorante are my absolute favorite when it comes to frozen pizza. They have a fantastic selection, but I usually choose to have 'Pizza Funghi' at 290 calories for 1/3 pizza. I really enjoy a thin crust and vegetables on my pizza!

    I love Newman's Own, especially the roasted veggie one (it's actually really good and I don't usually go for roasted veggie pizzas). I think a whole pizza has less than 800 calories.

    Yes, Newman's Own, Margherita or Spinach Feta. Even the kids like them. I add mushrooms sometimes. They are really crispy and cook fast.

    Some of the Momma Cozi Pizzas at Aldi are really good and low cal. But personally the best frozen pizza is a Digiorno stuffed crust personal size pepperoni for 600 for the whole thing.

    I used to think that too.. All frozen pizza tastes like crunchy cardboard! That was until i tried Dr Oetker, and now I'm sold.

    Frozen pizza has come a LONG way in recent years. Dr Oetker is good, but the price has gone way up since I first discovered them, so I don't get them anymore. I love really thin-crust pizzas - the thinner the better, and that's the hardest part for the frozen varieties. Not too many to choose from.

    I know a lot of people don't like them...but I really like Jack's frozen pizzas. 1/2 of a pizza is about 500-600 cals give or take, and the crust is thinner and crunchy (which I prefer in frozen pizza). I like the Mexican and supreme best. Sometimes I will get a plain cheese one and make it BBQ chicken style - I add rotisserie chicken, red onions, crumbled bacon and BBQ sauce. So yummy!

    I clicked on this topic just so I could gush about the awesomeocity of Jack's Pizza. I always cook it for longer than it says so the cheese gets to a dark brown. Yummo!

    This one (they also have a pepperoni flavor, margherita, sausage and mushoom, and a bbq chicken flavor):

    It's the Kroger store brand, for whoever sells Kroger brand in your area. Stats vary but for the one pictured, it's half the pizza for 350 calories. Good paired with a salad for a full meal.

    that looks fancy!!!

    From Trader Joe's, I think it's 640 calories for the whole thing?

    I usually do a thin crust - cheese only. Then I take some turkey pepperoni out of the freezer & add that. Turkey pepperoni is like 70% less fat.

    Honestly, Totino's pizzas are my jam. I like the crackery crust and saltiness, a whole pizza is less than 500 calories, and every time I log one MFP is like, "Good job! This food is high in protein!" (And then it scolds me for logging too much squash or an extra banana, but that's a whole other issue.) I don't have them super often, but they're my go-to when I just want some frozen pizza.

    I'm sorry this is not actually a frozen pizza, but I thought I would post this for those who love a thin crust. I've recently discovered "tortilla pizzas"-- I use Trader Joe's flour tortillas, some pasta sauce, and grated mozzarella cheese, stick it in the oven for 10 minutes, and you've got a great super-thin-crust pizza in almost the same time as frozen. Of course you can add other toppings, but this is quickest. I've also done this for "Mexican pizzas", using salsa, black beans, and a cheddar or cheddar/Colby blend. Yum!! 320-350 calories for each pizza depending on toppings.

    As for actual frozen pizza, we also like the Dr. Oetker Ristorante and Newman's Own as well. Also, Trader Joe's has a pepperoni and sausage pizza that is awesome, and also a cheese less roasted veg pizza that is really good.

    We have Dr Oetker's Ristorante with salad about once a week. My favourite is the Mozzarella one - but we often have Pepperoni or Pepperoni Pesto. Cut the pizza into eighths, and I have three slices for 330 cals (plus another 50ish calories from the salad). Very kid friendly dinner.
